fabricious' shapeways models

[fabricious]

It looks gorgeous. I would be very interested in getting it in 1/20

By the way, Gorgonzola has a method for splitting up models so they can be printed in several parts. It might interest you.

Thanks! And yes, I've seen that... I already asked Andrew about quite a lot of things during sculpting, hehe.

By popular demand: Waking up. I couldn't stop myself.

It's cute Although, if it's at rest, shouldn't the toes be a little more relaxed? Rather than spread out like they are. Here's an example of what I mean by "relaxed".

[fabricious]

Well, obviously, but that was one of the last things I did. Doesn't matter now, though, since I kind of lost the whole progress, thanks to an error with the program. Oh well. Back to the start, then.

[fabricious]

Aaand it happened again. Two more hours gone. Oh well. Can't say I'm all too happy about an error I can do nothing to avoid, it seems.

[fabricious]

Oh, nevermind, I did it! Defeated the bug, it seems, haha.

[Yutyrannus]

Awesome!

[fabricious]

Awesome!

Thought you'd like it. Currently preparing it for 1/72.

[fabricious]

Available in 1/72, and I'm off to bed, since I just spent at least four hours trying to fix this issue, haha.

Hm, something big might be making its way here. I'm not sure if I'll finish this one any time soon, though.


I am using this image as a rough reference: http://fabrizioderossi.deviantart.com/art/Spinosaurus-Revised-479151633

[stargatedalek]

very nice work so far

if I may, I recommend you choose a different reference since that one was based on the Nat Geo teaser photo without much of the detail regarding proportions that wasn't available until more recently
perhaps this reference would better serve;

[Concavenator]

Oh my gosh yes! 

[fabricious]

Thanks for the input, stargatedalek, I'll look into it.

[fabricious]

Tweaked the frame a bit, looks more like the welsh-corgi-like Spinosaurus now. That tail is giving me headaches, though...

[fabricious]

Had no time to work on the Spinosaurus, but I finally got the official commission for a scientific model + illustration from that! Here is the first work in progress picture, it is Struthiosaurus austriacus and it might or might not going to be available in 1/10, 1/20 and 1/40 after I'm done (I'll have to figure that out with my clients).

[fabricious]

The Struthiosaurus is starting to look more like a dinosaur than a blob:


Herbivores are a bit harder to sculpt than carnivores, so far. I'm curious to see how he'll turn out!

[fabricious]

Not sure about the feet, since there is next to no good reference for that. Might this be suitable for nodosaurid ankylosaurs? The illustration I got as reference shows elephantine feet, but from what I could see in Sauropelta-tracks, they seem to have a similar footprint to sauropods?

[fabricious]

Can't stop sharing the process with you guys!

[stargatedalek]

it looks very nice so far
what plans for integument do you have?
