Lanthanotus' customs - updated for sleeping rex

[Lanthanotus]

Quite some years old this thread, but after a lot of work with the new house (and still quite some left), I found some time now and then to tinker with models.... now, with the community still discussing PNSO`s Andrea and its stance, here`s my rex snoring its way through the day. It`s optimized for a totally flat surface, so there`s some space under the figure when placed on natural ground. Not final yet, could not deceide for a paint job yet. Guess the figure

that looks fab.  i'm assuming you made it from a mass produced figure, heating and bending it?   I don't know all the Rex figures as I focus on large figs.  What figure is it and what size is it?

You should do two mating Rex next.

It is made from a more or less recently released figure, yes.

The customization included some heating and bending, but very minor, as the material's forces were too strong, despite being made mostly of hollow vinyl. So I had to heat it and cut off most parts (or cut them off for more than 95%, leaving only very small bridges of the original connection), glue it in place with cyanacrylate and fill and remodel it with Fixit Sculpt.

The anatomy of the figure allowed for a much more plausible leg folding than in PNSO's Andrea (seen the spoiler images now).

Very nicely done!

Magnificent tyrannosaurus (I suppose) lying down does not have to envy its PNSO counterpart in genius.

Is it the recent Rebor rex?

Like the eye-work detail - completely convincing.

[Lanthanotus]

Thanks for all your comments, folks

@GojraGuy1954 Yes, it's Rebor's GrabnGo Rex

[Halichoeres]

Big improvement for this model!

[SidB]

@Lanthanotus , well done indeed. That's an astonishing transformation. Interesting comparing it to the PNSO Andrea.

[Creature]

Oh, wow, that's a fantastic resculpt/repaint. I'm very impressed!

[Libraraptor]

Wow, stunning!

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

That GnG rex looks phenomenal. I love to see customized Mass produced Figures. Great Job!

[Lanthanotus]

Thank you all, for your comments. Glad you like it

The GnG Rex is a good figure, though I guess with the array of recent releases it went somewhat unnoticied by a lot of people. However, while quite good, even my collection - which has not a lot of rexes - has certainly enough teeth starring ones, so I required a change in posture. Being made of hollow vinyl mostly, is was a rewarding task.
