Gotcha! Daspletosaurus.

This is my Alonso 1/24 T. rex slightly converted to represent a 1/18 Daspletosaurus.

I changed the shape of the lacrimal hornlets in front of the eyes with milliput and leaned the body slightly down and more forward by bending at the ankle.
Then I painted it like a Giant Killer Rottweiler-Chicken.


I made a big base to look like the edge of a forest-floor with a fallen tree.


A corner with some stagnant water and algae for a little variation.


And this is what it turned out like after the final finish with pastel chalks.


It just fits in one of my display cabinets.

Looks really neat. Curious, what is your fixative for the "leaves?"

Spike, as I told you, I LOVE the way you handle Bases. Especially those Bases with Leaves on it. Incredible work, and well done. Surrounds the T-Rex in a natural way.

Thank you very much, Frank.

Aj, the leaves are glued down over a heavy misting of pva glue diluted with water. Once set, several passes of matt varnish help fix them.... for a while.

I took this model to a show during a storm last year and between my car and the doors to the hall a deal of my forest floor took to the heavens.

Spike.

Very nice, I like it.

Thanks, Roc. Much appreciated.

Spike.

Holla thats a good one. Well done groudwork.
I like him.

Thanks, Stephan.

Sometimes the groundwork gets as much time and effort as the kit.
And why not?

Spike.

Indeed, me too.
