Rapid scribbles, trying out an idea. Couple of studies, trying to drama up the confrontation a bit. I've raised height of the view position because of the tall/portrait aspect of the mural area but I don't like doing this because looking down on dinosaurs makes them look less imposing. I...

Been making a few measurements for the mural to get a handle on what kind of proportions I'm working with. The plan is for the painting to be in the blue area of the drawing, the adjacent wall would've been better but as you can see it's been occupied. So the working area is kind of a tallish...

Thanks for the kind words folks, I sometimes find it hard motivating myself to start drawing but once I do I enjoy it. Might try some scribbling this weekend. There's always the licence that came with the device so I could go back (I doubt it though). I think they look hungry and are eyeing up...

Haven't been active for a while, had a bit of a break from arty stuff. Got myself a Surface Pro, hopefully it'll help me get back into drawing. Of course I couldn't resist removing Windows and putting Ubuntu on it (sorry Microsoft I just prefer Linux). Courtesy of the patched Kernel from...

Just seen this, very impressive. Going to build this one soon.

Great model!

Another iconic ship, looks spot on. Has anyone made a U.S.S. Sulaco from Aliens? (Whoops just spotted it)

Absolutely glorious! Always loved this ship.

Pretty sweet. Interestingly it seems to combine details from both the 5 foot and 32 inch versions from the original trilogy.

Excellent job on the build @micahrogers, she looks great out in the sunlight too (completely agree with you that the model is a female :biggrin:). I intended the feet to sit vertically but I messed up my first build as I was in a hurry. So that's entirely my fault for not indicating the...

Thanks guys, the review was a bit of a confidence boost.

The Vallejo paints were fine for my needs. At a push I could have managed with artists' acrylic but I fancied going 'posh' for a change :biggrin:. In the pre-digital days I used to illustrate using acrylics and sometimes oils so I developed a few techniques for getting opaque and transparent...

Yay! The Dimo got reviewed on the DinoToyBlog.

I'm not really a model maker but I've had to start painting up my sculpts for product photography. Originally I was using cheap artists acrylic which was fine for the skulls but I decided I needed something with better opacity for the Dimo 3D print. I have to say the Vallejo paints rose to the...

It works for my purposes because I just use it as a tool to create the raw elements, the bulk of the work is done in 2D software. I refine the hand painted texture in Krita and vector adjustment/layout is done in illustrator. Here's the Blendswap links. Nothing spectacular, just the stuff I...

Watching this with interest. Incidentally I'm using Vallejo Model Color to paint the 3D printed sculpted model which the card version was based on.

I don't use Inkscape and it's not difficult for me to modify my original AI file but it would only be worth my time if a few people wanted that version. Yeah that's deliberate as the card model is a low-poly version of my 3D-print sculpt which is posed so it's banking/turning to the left. It was...

Thanks @Gandolf50, to be honest I don't interact much on BA, I mostly start a 'WIP' or 'finished projects' thread and bomb it with images. I will look out for you though. If you like collecting free models I have 3 on Blendswap I added a few years ago, just look for the user 'Tarnyloo'...

An idea I had the other day is to do a blank (un-textured) version as an alternative to the pre-coloured dimorphodon. This would be for any maker who'd prefer to add their own colour design. It wouldn't require loads of work on my part to mod the original, mostly a matter of deleting the...

Go for it:D! I do wonder though, how possible would it be to make a glider based on the model? Kinda like those cheap and simple foam aeroplanes we had in toy shops as kids. You know the ones- a flat fuselage with flat flying surfaces slotted into them. I know nothing about making models for...
