Quote from: Halichoeres on August 17, 2022, 12:46:14 AMThanks for all the photos, it's a good-looking figure. I'm curious about the olive oil: is it used to soften the plastic and then washed off, or as a lubricant when attaching the tail? I would have assumed that it would eventually go rancid in the latter case.
As a lubricant, yep, I'm more comfortable with natural lubricants (maybe glicerin too) because some mineral oils (most are made of petrolatum) could damage the rubber. As we know here, virgin olive oil doesn't perish, but the quantity inside would be almost inexistant. Mostly because I wasn't sure if I would have to take the tail out later to correct or cut something, and if I used water, that would have been imposible because water would have dried and rubber would stick inside. I have not tried to take the tail out, maybe is still posible.

Interesting, I had never heard anyone say that olive oil isn't perishable, but even if it did spoil you're right that the quantity would be pretty small.

Shonisaurus

Rebor's tyrannosaurus is super interesting, it's perhaps one of the best made tyrannosaurus scientific figures on the market, it's more interesting than the PNSO one and it's huge. Thank you for sharing the photos, it is very beautiful.
