Protocasts Kelenken and Baby Titanosaur

[Kayakasaurus]

Great sculpt! A bit skinny for my tastes but well-done nonetheless.

Thank you! I agree with you, future Sauropods won't be as skinny. Can you imagine how much they must have needed to eat each day !

[Kayakasaurus]

Are they going to be painted?

Yes I will be painting them and also sell them unpainted like a kit. All the models will be shipped disassembled with a single use Super glue. They should be really easy to put together. My Hylaeosaur prices turned out to be 36% more for the painted ones.

Glad to hear there'll be future sauropods in this line. Sauropods are my personal favorite, but I dislike collecting species known from very fragmentary remains because who knows what they really looked like. Unfortunately most titanosaurs are very frustrating like that...

What bugs me most about that is when museums do full skeletal mounts based off of a couple ribs  . There really shouldn't be an Argentinosaurus mount when no Argentinosaurus has been found. Argentinosaurus basically tells us; they lived in this location, and they were big. Thats not to say Argentinosaurus doesn't have some significance, but any restoration of it is not based on an Argentinosaurus skeleton, it's just a general Titanosaur. We know from Dreadnoughtus they could have long tails, and from fiutalognkosaurus  that they had long necks, so that's what I based this commission on. I don't remember what the skull is based on, but this is usually how it's depicted. So in conclusion, this is my version of a Titanosaur, based on the estimated length for Argentinosaurus.

Kayakasaurus have you finished the Leptoceratops Sculpt?   May we see the prototype?

I added eyes and little things since I last posted pics, I'll finish it pretty soon here

[Takama]

Also have you gave any thoght to that Tiny Acreoapteryx?

[Kayakasaurus]

Also have you gave any thoght to that Tiny Acreoapteryx?

I'll try it for fun, but it will only be 1/2 long including the tail  . Maybe if it's flat on the bottom I could do a really simple one piece mold with a couple different ones.

[Kayakasaurus]

Also have you gave any thoght to that Tiny Acreoapteryx?

Here he is in all his 1:40 scale glory! I'll make a mold of him, any other ideas of tiny things with flat bottoms I can put along next to it to make the mold more useful? This might be interesting for dioramas, the wings can probably be repositioned by scoring where they meat the body. If anyone is interested in little things like this let me know 

[Takama]

Is he finnished?  i dont see the head too well


Well Maybe you can make a Vegavis in a Swimming above water pose(Its basically a prehistoric Goose)


What i want the most is a Compsognathus, And a Cuadipteryx(or Kaahn) And maybe a Gliding Yi

[Halichoeres]

That's adorable. I wouldn't mind having that around for my sauropods to trample.

[PaleoMatt]

I would love to see lots of small creatures sold together in families, maybe a heterodontosaurus burrow or some yi in a tree.

Are you going to paint the Archaeo's? I may take a couple of them with your Lepto, which I'm really looking forward to seeing.

Yes they will be available painted, and I could do them in different colors on request. I also have another Archaeopteryx related item I'll post soon, it's being molded at the moment  . Lepto coming with the Argentino!

[Takama]

Kayakasaurus   Will you offer the option to Finnish the Argentinosaurus for those who want it?

[Kayakasaurus]

Here's an update on the Lepto. I've added epoxy as well as doing the arms and feet with Sculpey, the heat gun works very well for baking on little things like this. His toasty discoloration is due to the heat on epoxy  .

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Cool, love the little details...kinda early Safari-like.  I never considered using the heat gun on sculpey..I always baked it. How do you tell when it's "cooked" enough?

[PaleoMatt]

Lepto put his hands in the toaster

[amargasaurus cazaui]

SO the final version Lepto has two seperate poses to work with then?

Thanks! The sheen changes, and gets slightly darker, especially for little pieces like this. I don't have a digital heat gun, but I have it on a medium temperature, and it's really quick. Definitely recommend it
