chrish Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hot for the spot the CF 18 was in, this kit moved right in. As far as kits go...I cant really call it complicated, 7 parts not including the clips to make it "snap" together which I didn't use, instead opting for 2 part epoxy. assembly (about an hour, including filing all butt joints with a rasp) next... painting.

seiran01 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Sweet! Did you print that yourself or buy it somewhere? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant even make my paper printer do what I want! I bought this from a guy who did print it and has (had?) a listing for them on Ebay in the USA for about 40.00 USD's He makes them as ordered so it can take a couple of weeks depending how busy he gets. The pose is slightly boring I think (reminiscent of a dog begging for a bone?) but the painting part is the reason I bought it. On a side note, the casting is tough as nails and light as a feather with a slightly honeycombed hollow inside. This is my first experience with 3 D printed objects, is this the norm?

Making the internal structure partially "air" saves on material going through the printer. Cool project by the way! Will look forward to seeing how you paint it. I guess the rage these days is suggesting that dinosaurs may have been very brightly/vividly colored. Out2gtcha and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Got it, cool Have some fun and add feathers to the raptor since some folks believe it plausible. It’ll basically become a Carnivale dino, lol BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks a lot...great relaxation too! A bit more painting done tonight using suggestions from my daughter (the family artist) Microscale "Micro Crystal Clear" applied to make the eyes smooth, then white paint as a base then yellow & green blended for the eye color gloss coated yellow, black added for the slit pupil and gloss coated again. Doesn't look as much like a dog begging anymore? Thinking of some oil washes now....
