Dinosaurs! :)
I was in a very dinosaury mood today!!! So I got out some sculpey and some paints and went to town. The result? Dinosaur keychains FTW!!!
First! The most recent. Sauropod! Yey. I like the dots on him, but they weren't quite enough. Please forgive the bad quality of lighting. (I need a light box...)

Now my favorite!! He's attached to my keychain now. And I think I'll wear him attached to my belt loops, too. *grin* For decoration. He makes me happy.
Pyroraptor Olympius! (Or, at least, one vaguely based off of...)

Re: Dinosaurs! :)
Thats some mad skill! I like the Raptor too

Re: Dinosaurs! :)
Hey I like those! Very nice :D

Re: Dinosaurs! :)
clever use of feathers on that raptor there. you might even consider doing some kind of quill type attachments out of stiff plastic "grass" or similar. I'd go with the kind they use in silk floral arrangements. just a thought :P

I was looking more dinosaur species up, and I found some which would work. It's a good idea!

I was just thinking about pterodactyls and what not. you might be able to use pieces of plastic for the thinner parts like the wings. I keep all the leftover plastic from my mouse and rat bins...lol. would just have to get a "form" and put it in the oven for a little bit until the plastic starts to warp and then mold it into the form.
I was also thinking you could use the same method for making "armor"...since I'm kind of a sci-fi guy myself...cyborg dinosaurs appeals to me lol.

Actually...XDD You just about hit the nail on the head about how to mass produce costume armor for Star Wars costumes quickly and easily...
I was thinking I could use those sorts of things for the armor plating or spikes on stegosaurs, spinosaurus, etc.

lol. I didn't even stop to consider the star wars thing. I've known about it, but that didn't come to mind when mentioning the armor plating haha. I've never made any costumes or anything, just had the info handy :P
I like the armored idea though, if not cyborg, then definitely for stegos...or even those...ankylosaurs? I'll have to look it up...they pretty much look like armadillos haha. never been too handy with dino names :P
