Thank you kindly Mark, yep its just a skeleton, its quite a clever sonstruction , one length of square section metal I think it might be light steele or aluminum, and all the ribs slot on to this, its quite strong but can be bent to shape by hand, I am doing a more level stance with one of the legs more forward to distribute the weight.

Old Collingwood Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share #37 Posted October 25, 2022 Been studying my paint/weathering procedure with the build - lots of different oppinions on how to paint skeletons, what I may go for is a base coat of sand then different shades of washes then some lighter highlight dry brushing, interesting days as I ahve never built a skeleton before.

Old Collingwood Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share #38 Posted October 25, 2022 Evening all, a small update, still working on the skull - there is some quite noticable seams so I started to clean these up using my blade sand paper and my files, the PVC plastic so does not like being cleaned up as it just creates little strands, I then decided to give the whole shull a coat of Buff, I applied this quite roughly as there will be several washes to be applied. The teeth will need a bit more tidying as the paint just brought the tiny strands out, reminds me of the old Airfix soft plastic that was real akward to clean up.

Old Collingwood Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted October 26, 2022 Got me thinking about the scales I have been working in - 1/1250 (did a few metal ships) 1/700 / 1/350 / 1/56 / 1/32 and now 1/12 with Rexy. I have also been toying with the crazy idea of doing a dio with this later on, anyone seen the Jurassic World films - remember the scene where a skeleton T Rex gets trashed by a real Rex then a Raptor is swinging on one of the skelton sections - will have to see if Santa comes this year, mind you getting a 1/12 Veloceraptor is not easy - aint found one yet.

Old Collingwood Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share #40 Posted October 27, 2022 Evening all, nothing too exciting to report - I spent a couple of hours painting all the pieces with a watery Buff Acrylic colour using my largest Brush - finding space on my table for all the drying pieces.......was a challenge. I foregot to take any pics as it was getting late, but I will take some pics later today - will throw in one of my 28mm figures to show you the size of this monster. OC.

Canute Posted October 29, 2022 Share #45 Posted October 29, 2022 I had a similar reaction to a pneumonia shot last year. I think part of my issue was letting one of the nurses in my doctor's office.

I've been thinking about your trial at bending the tail and it springing back to the original shape, and Marks suggestion about a few wires here and there.

Old Collingwood Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share #49 Posted October 30, 2022 Evening all, so I managed more time on rexy to day, I have been putting base layers on the different sections at a time - due to the shere size of them, but as the skull/head has had enough - I decided to try some shading starting with Black, again I can only do one side at a time due to the watery slow drying washes.

Old Collingwood Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share #52 Posted November 3, 2022 Bit of an update friends - I have attached both sides of his pelvic bones and filled any gaps with putty, then I have dry fitted his legs - he sits on his legs but is a bit out of balance - but the kit comes with a pre cast plastic base with cast foot impressions, so I have glued him down (but will attach him even better with some tiny screws from underneath) his head and end tail section slides on but will need securing when I get some puer glue. I foregot to take pics - but it is Huge.

Old Collingwood Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share #55 Posted November 3, 2022 Evening all, I got some good progress done today - firstly I turned the skeleton over with the base, then I found some small screws, I then drilled some pilot holes up through the inverted toe impressions - and screwed underneath into his toes, this secured him down nicely as he is quite heavy. So here are some pics of him assembled (minus needing the head and tail end gluing they are just push fitted for now). OC.

Old Collingwood Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share #56 Posted November 3, 2022 But I didn't stop there - you know that little Velociraptor dig kit my admiral got me, well I decided to start it as it will be placed on my Rex base - so first off the box then the mould of hard plaster, then on with the dig, included in the kit is also a tiny Diplodocus that basically snaps together - its looks cute I will still paint it up and shade it, the admiral said she fancy's putting it on her shelves when finished. Next was to start the dig - so I donned my boots and hard hat and went in using the plastic tools included - gently gently hammering away using the plastic chisel from the edges till part of the skeleton was exposed - I continued for about an hour till I found all the parts. I cross checked with the instructions (all there) then I binned the broken plaster pieces. I have placed all the parts on my mat. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share #59 Posted November 4, 2022 Looking at my pics of the Velo - I wll attempt to cut the gaps between its rib cages all the way to the spine, as it looks odd as it is., should be alot "Alot" easier to work on as its the same scale as Rex but only 10inches long real length would be between 5 and 6feet in real life.
