It's been a while. I haven't made much progress, but here's an update with the left legs now there. The arms/legs are always the most difficult part and usually take the longest for me, but that just means it will all be downhill from here. I also started a baby one which is much smaller than I expected. Even though my final year of school is just around the corner, I will hopefully be making progress more quickly soon.

good work

Very nice hadrosaur! P. cyrtocristatus was the first sculpture I made, and it was in 1/20 too! Still love that species.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Thanks guys!
I didn't realise your para was that large, Fabricious. But then I didn't expect mine to be this size. I can't say it is my favorite scale for sculpting dinosaurs though. After this I'll be returning to 1:40.

Are there any good references for leg spacing in hadrosaurs? I'm almost positive the legs in mine are too close together-- the calves almost touch. I can't really fix it at this point but I want to do what I can to get the proportions correct.

I did not expect this guy to be so big-- it shows even more now that the tail is bulked out. I am so glad I didn't make it 1/12 as per my original plan. As you can see, I also adjusted the neck and a front leg. I really want this to be done by the fourth of next month so I have to really get myself in gear now. I still don't quite know how to paint it but that will come out in time.
Also, I might be helping out with a haunted house attraction in my town and there is a possibility of me making a JP:TG style troodon 1:1 however it is only in the idea phase and may not be approved.

the head of the para is a bit too small

I imagine he is going to flesh it out with skin at a later stage. It's only a skull right now.

Those are really really beautiful sculpts. I'd definitely follow your updates. Great job!

Looks like it's coming along very nicely!  Good luck meeting your Oct. 4th personal deadline; definitely looking forward to seeing this completed.

Thanks for the positive comments! 
I just finished the sculpting phase for the parasaurolophus and it's in the oven as I type. While I'm waiting I thought I'd show my newest finished sculpture: Gorgosaurus libratus. It was originally planned as part of my entry for the Diorama Contest, hence my not showing it until now, however I chose to go with another idea. I plan on making more 1:40 scale dinosaurs like this after I'm finished with my current projects.

Beautifull

[Halichoeres]

I like the pose! I presume an armature is keeping it upright?

[LophoLeeVT]

oh it is a gorgosaurus i never seen someone do a feathered because i thought everyone has got the scaly gorgo from the wwd series iin the head...
anyway, good work!

That is a beautiful sculpture! A very dynamic pose! You are talented!

[Mamasaurus]

Beautiful Gorgosaurus.  Its color and form are absolutely lovely, and I really like the distribution of feathers.  The transition from feathers to scales feels natural, and not like some Frankenstein mush mash that is so prevalent these days 

[Kayakasaurus]

Looks beautiful! Sort of reminds me of Faunacasts.

Nice updates, Pachyrhinosaurus. I look forward to seeing the finished Parasaurolophus- they've always been among my favorites.

I like seeing your interpretation of Gorgosaurus. Like others have said its pose is good; the little tilt especially gives the sense of weight and inertia for a huge animal moving with that amount of energy. That is one definite benefit of having a base for a sculpture. I think it would be fun to do a prehistoric sculpture the way Kitan Club does some of its models where everything is attached to a base but looks like separate suspended objects (fish w/ fin tips connected, etc.) I also like its beady eyes, which avoid a sinister expression.
