T-Rex

    Before I even start my normal spiel about what I have been painting, or apologising for the photography or any of the normal stuff I tend to do at the beginning of the post, I want to go straight in with accusations. So here it is, I blame Michael Awdry for this post, it is entirely his fault. There I was, minding my own business and boom, yet another blog on dinosaurs, and there I was buying yet more toys online on a website I had never heard of before, but now have saved . . .. So when I got home I figured I had better get one of the dinosaurs sitting in my backlog of 'to do' projects moved into the 'done' projects pile. So here it is; my T-Rex, how can you do dinosaurs without a T-Rex?
 
 
     He hasn't been painted or touched up at all, just stuck to a base and based like everything else. Much as I wouldn't have picked this colour scheme if he was being painted from scratch (he'd probably be a reddish brown colour), I quite like it.



Thanks for reading

  1. Priceless! I do apologise Mike. :D I have this very same Dinosaur, or Rexi as he is known here, a fabulous piece of plastic and the jaws open too!

    1. Ha ha. Nah its perfectly fine. I saw him on the last blog you did and figured I had better get him done now. Great toy isn't it? Kind of the reason why I didn't want to ruin it by mucky about with it. Mine still needs a name, but not sure what.

  2. Lovely model dude!
    As for a name, you should call him Mikey.

    1. Thanks Bob. Mikey might work, although I think there might be too many guys with the Michael in their name into dinosaurs already.

  3. You lucky chap! A perfect miniature and it only needing to be based. Why can't all toy soldiers be like this :)
