Here are a handsome pair of dinosaurios we just finished putting on steel stands. We sculpted some elements and used some cast resin parts to compliment the actual fossil.
We do a lot of the sculpture with 'Bondo', building it up and carving it down to the shape of the bone adding cracks to echo those found in the original.
Our work also includes painting the parts we make in order to match the color of the particular fossil. I believe these specimens consist of 40%-60% actual fossil. Sorry to dissolusion any who believed that all they saw at museums was real/original.
So cool Andy!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! Is one a raptor? I'd love a raptor in my backyard to scare all the kids who harass my dogs. So far my pirate flag and skull and cross bones door mat hasn't done the trick but I'm quite confident a raptor would.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I have no idea how I found your blog but I'm glad I did. Must have been when I was in your class and I just re-found the link.
He's an Allosaurus, state dinosaur of Utah. Bigger than a raptor. And that exhausts my knowledge concerning 'Al'. Don't tell my dino boss, but I'm not even sure which geological time period he belongs to.
