Kids & their Parents added a great deal of extra paint to Angie (see posts 9-28 & 10-02-2019 “A Funtastic Dino Fest Weekend for All” & “Funtastic Dino Fest – Sunday the 22nd Day Two”)….

More on Blue Too, the baby brontosaurs and Dinosaur Pads!
Blue Too, receives Apple Red Metallic on the Tongue, Gloss White Teeth and Gloss Marigold for the Eyes. The baby brontosaurs love their Gloss Maui Blue Eyes.

The New T-Rex’s Perch & Fun for Halloween
This was previously where Dominic hung out. Dominic has moved to better hunting grounds. This spot had to be adjusted for the larger frame on this T-Rex, David. Six more buckets of sand, leveling and two more 15-inch x 15-inch stepping stones will do it. Jerome one of my greyhounds likes this spot too! When…
Stuart & “Dino Fest”

The overspray on his head was corrected covering the misplaced Berry Pink. Another coat of Maui Blue on the Eyes. Now we’re ready for more details. The Brontosaurus…
Stuart & the Amargasaurus

Stuart & more on Sauropods
We left off with Stuart receiving his primary colors – Spring Green and Warm Yellow. I let the metal welding aid in my decision for initially applying the primary colors. Now it’s time to use artist brushes to make a more realistic meeting of these two colors, as they would most likely in nature. I…
Stuart the Sauropod & More!
Stuart gets his primary colors Warm Yellow and Spring Green. Staring on his side makes it much easier to get Stuarts underneath areas. While the Yellow is curing, I apply the Spring Green to all that I can reach. After a couple of hours Stuart is dry enough to stand up. I need a ladder…
