Bandai T-Rex - DONE

[keavdog]

Not sure if this is the right forum but... didn't fit under tanks, planes, cars or whatnot.  Do we need a 'And now for something completely different' forum lol

Beautiful kit, went together in a couple hours.  Bandai does nice stuff.

That is incredibly COOL!

[keavdog]

Ha - that's exactly what I was thinking about when I was building it lol. Can't wait to paint the beast.

[kyledehart5]

Man. That is freaking awesome!! I love it.

[stikpusher]

I love it! So much fun to be had there!

[Leon]

That is really cool! Looking forward to seeing it finished.

[lyle]

Cool. Not much meat on that one!

[keavdog]

Just having fun

[Leon]

Reminds me of the Godzilla movies John!

[kyledehart5]

Is that an egg tank? Super cool and fun. Which is why we’re all here right? lol. I love it.

[keavdog]

Ya Kyle - toon tank. Fun stuff.

Calling Rex done. Super fun kit and just an open canvas to try all sorts of stuff

[Leon]

Great finish John!

[chromdome35]

I am sure this looks great, but none of your pictures are showing up for me.

[kyledehart5]

I can’t stress enough just how cool I find this. Awesome work. I love it.

[tcoat]

I thought it was cool as it was but tis is buckets cooler!

[keavdog]

Thanks for the kind words. Really fun project.

[handiabled]

This looks spectacular!

[Steve Zuleski]

Wow, that was fast, great job, bones looks great!

[reserve]

Different and too cool a guy could have fun with that

[keavdog]

Brent - thanks! Fun project.

Steve - I had the an entire day of modeling yesterday

Reserve - I tried a bunch of new techniques painting him. Artistic license on a subject where you really can't be wrong

[armornutii]

  I love him facing off with the toon tank, great scene

[Real G]

I love it!  Do the Triceratops next!

Bandai also did a Mosasaur.  And Wave does a Plesiosaur:

[keavdog]

Ya the Triceratops looks pretty interesting.
I wonder if nessie is a Plesiosaur???

I've been waiting to comment on this beauty of a build all day long John. I've seen alot of things built up but I've yet to see one of these built. Fantastic paint work on this. Absolutely LOVE the subject!!

[keavdog]

Thanks Joe. Very fun, quick build.

  I dont stray far from tanks and afv s but after seeing the job you done on this i have got to get me one a these   I love the paint color on the bones any chance of a quick insight to colors used .

[keavdog]

Started with a black base then a coat of very light gray (would have used an off white like tamiya racing white if I had it).
Then I dry brushed with humbrol linen and successively darker shades of tan. The last coat was a medium cover with plain old testors square bottle brown.
Finally applied Flory black wash.
His nails are testors dark anodic gray (lol). And teeth are light grey with a very light brushing of tamiya clear yellow.
So... as you can image this was me browsing around my bench and thinking...'hmmm...that might look good'. Super fun project.
There's a couple other builds if you do a web search.

  Didn't see that statement when you first posted it but I'll be looking into this John. I've seen dino's, sharks and other animals being built not only here but on other forums too. Will see that we can do about that.
