Tips On Painting Models. - pluto - 03-09-2008
Well, ive been trying to paint some Jurassic Park dino models with no luck i painted one about 2 times but i never seem happy. Im having a hard time getting the different colors to come though and finding the right color on the T-rex<img src=\"http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c219/ITZ-U/0630_15.gif\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />and on the Raptor<img src=\"http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c219/ITZ-U/0630_18.gif\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Any help would be great!!Jake

Go on ebay and find Amazing Figure Modeler back issues, the ones with Jim Lawrence doing Dino paint demos. They're 100% worth it. I might have one..if I find it i'll shoot it over to youI love Jurrassic Park and dinosaurs...one thing that is cool is you don't have match anything because no one knows exactly which colors the dinosaurs were..I love the colors in Jurrassic park, very possible. A cool little fact...Velociraptor was actually the size of a dog. The raptor in the movie is actually Deinonychus. Only reason they didn't use his original name is because they wanted the word Raptor in his name so no one got confused when they interused the word "raptor"D

another fun fact about the raptor is that they sprouted feathers on the tops of their heads in which scientists say were so sensitive they could use them to feel vibrations in around themit was also recently discovered that the tyrannosaurus rex also had similar feathers

Ya I think that's the issue.Ya the feather theory is really cool..I believe it. Not to mention Jurrassic park was a great catalyst for getting normal people to think about dinosaur lineage a lot more...considering that they probably stem more from birds than they do from reptiles.
