A new journey begins

Well…


. I did not really get the response that I was looking for because I have been fearing this kit since the moment that I won it in the amusement park contest a few months ago. I have dealt with the spring Motors previously in two other models and they are very scary to work with. Blood was drawn. I was also afraid of trying to figure out colors because nobody really knows what a velociraptor looks like back in those days. After much Googling, I think I have decided on my colors. Tonight I decided not to tackle that spring since it is the first step. My brain told me “not today Satan, not today”

I chose instead to work on the little baby dinosaur coming out of the egg. His original color is all dark brown but I am switching it up a bit. I have colored the egg to my liking and now I am mixing up colors for the main body of the Velociraptor. Previous post…Majority rules. Help me choose

That dinosaur is so cute!

I haven’t assembled any engines yet; it seems difficult.

Nice work! You did a great job on the egg colour, very prehistoric egg looking! :rofl:

Keep telling yourself, “This is going to be fun! Satan you will not stop me this time! I got it!”

That baby dinosaur really looks like it just came out from his egg. The color is giving. Amazing!

They are just a bit scary…because it is a very tightly woven spring that has very sharp edges. @Sasa

I have mixed up some different shades of browns, khaki and muted sage greens. This will be fun. They had blue stripes on the baby dinos nose…and I immediately said “NOPE, those are going away”… :rofl: @Jo_Zanella

HA! @Suzanne_Jones . I will put that spring to the side for days while I paint and preassemble other areas. I will tackle it ONLY when I have to… :grimacing:

The egg is truly amazing. The different colors make it look so realistic. I’m really curious to see how the dino will turn out.
