STEGOSAURUS

Terrible Lizards! This is an unknown scale dinosaur model from an unnamed Chinese toy company which I bought at the Dollarama for $2. It is a stegosaurus. It lived in what is now Portugal and the western USA from about 163 000 000 years ago to about 100 000 000 years ago during the late Jurassic (Albian) period (about 9:30 in the morning).

I stripped down the pieces and sanded or cut off all seam lines and flash, then carved out the ribs and built up the top bone stubs on the vertebrae. I also cut off the jaw hinge and gave the skull a better shape.

It was airbrushed white and aged white. To finish I added a sepia wash, and finally some light grey dusting. It was done last Sunday.
