After Wire Brushing and spraying Rust Reformer to necessary areas (last week’s post), several coats of Rusty Brown Primer were applied. Two days were needed to cure the Primer. Hammered Black was used on the bottom of the box and Poppy Pink Gloss inside of the box and lid. Then the lid/jaw was reattached to the box/head. Copper Rose Metallic is the primary color for the head and jaw.
I made some rough sketches in preparation of the Mailosaurus painting. Inspiration came from the Allosaurus & Ceratosaurus cards that came with the Museum quality model Dinosaurs. These extremely detailed models came from China. Unfortunately, the verbal descriptions on the cards are all in Chinese. I’ll have to get them translated. An Artist brush, dipped in Kona Brown Gloss paint sprayed into the can cap creates the outlines for the Mouth, Eyes & Nostrils. Hammered Brown creates the details for the Head & Jaw. After completing the left side, I made a sketch to assist with finishing the right. Marigold Gloss for the Eyes.
Various shades of Blue will be used for accents to brighten Malcom’s final look. And of course, Teeth and Tongue will be added. Black Night Metallic will fill the space between the Teeth in the Mouth area.
Stay Tuned for More on Malcolm’s New Look & Preparing for Dinosaur Wizards!
