Hello and Thank You

[Rogue1stClass]

I've known about the blog for a while, but I only recently came across the forum when I was looking for information about the new Battat line (coincidentally, the day Mr. LaRusso passed...)

Recently, for...reasons...I've decided to do my own versions of the animals from the MPC set I had as a kid back in the 70s. It's kind of an insane project since I'm not a sculptor or anything. My sole experience with anything like this modeling for wargames, and that was years ago. They are bigger and more modern, maybe even a little fanciful, than the MPC toys, and will be painted when I'm done. I've been doing this for weeks now, and I have three models completed, but only one fully painted, and I'm working on four more. The painted one is Struthiomimus, while the other two finished are Cynognathus and, er, Troodon, which, turns out, not part of the set. The ones I'm working on when I have time are Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and the sloth.

Would this be something the forum would like to see/participate in/make fun of? I don't want to get into why I'm doing this or posting a bunch of pictures if not.

Welcome, Rogue! That certainly sounds like an ambitious project. I, for one, would be intrigued to follow your progress. I grew up with what I'm pretty sure was a knockoff copy of an MPC dinosaur set. It'd be cool to see your take on them

Thank you!

Here's the mimic. I should point out this is almost my first time using an airbrush...



I'm making these out of picture wire and epoxy putty, by the way.

The paint and sculpt look good! Look forward to seeing more.

I started a thread in the Dinosaur Art section with a picture of everything I've done so far.
