After Stuart had lived with his new paint design for a while, we decided to expand it on his sides. More Purple Gloss then more Deep Blue. The overspray on his head was corrected covering the misplaced Berry Pink. Another coat of Maui Blue on the Eyes. Now we’re ready for more details. The Brontosaurus…

Stuart & the Amargasaurus
As I mentioned last time, Stuart will follow Gary’s color design. I used Maui Blue Gloss for the Eyes and Berry Pink for the mouth. Unfortunately, I did not mask off enough of Stuart’s Head which resulted in overspray even with using a piece of cardboard to block most of it. A little extra care…
Stuart & more on Sauropods
We left off with Stuart receiving his primary colors – Spring Green and Warm Yellow. I let the metal welding aid in my decision for initially applying the primary colors. Now it’s time to use artist brushes to make a more realistic meeting of these two colors, as they would most likely in nature. I…

Stuart the Sauropod & More!
Stuart gets his primary colors Warm Yellow and Spring Green. Staring on his side makes it much easier to get Stuarts underneath areas. While the Yellow is curing, I apply the Spring Green to all that I can reach. After a couple of hours Stuart is dry enough to stand up. I need a ladder…

Have the Proper Tools & Protection – Leather…

Jadon’s Claws have been masked and painted Hammered Brown. Apple Red Metallic provided a nice top stripe for Jadon, which will be blended with the Black Night…

The Prehistoric Landscape!
What was the Landscape like during the Age of the Dinosaurs and even before? As Pangaea the Supercontinent rose above the Ocean, lush soft wood forest – Giant Ferns, Cycadeoids – similar to Cycads of today, Ginkgoids, Conifers with broad leaves vs. needles, Horsetails & Rushes (grass like plants with hollow or pithy stems) spread…
Raptor Detailing & More Humans Visit the Park!
Blue, Charlie & Alan receive detailing on their tongues, eyes and teeth. Apple Red Metallic gives the tongues a wet look. Gloss Marigold is a nice choice for the Eyes and Gloss White makes those Teeth Pop! Spraying paint in the caps of the cans and dipping with artist brushes allows me the ability to…
