Stanley is very happy with his new look. Although the inside of his mouth needed a little Berry Gloss, which has been completed. We are debating whether or not to add more details to the Scales & Spikes. A look at Stephanie’s makeover and the details that were added to her Scales & Spikes is…

Stanley Receives More Color!
The last time we visited Stanley, he had received his primary colors – Gloss Purple for the top and Gloss Turquoise for the underside. Gloss Ivory was used as a base coat for Stanley’s Scales & Spikes. Next steps Metallic Apple Red applied over Ivory on the Scales & Spikes. Also, added on the top…
Easter Rex, Easter Raptor & other Eastersaurus!
We have all heard of the Easter Bunny. Did you know there were Easter Dinosaurs? Really! The EasTer Rex, the EasteRapator (or Easter Raptor depending on location in the Prehistoric World), EasTerceratops and many other Eastersaurs. For some reason the Bunny is the only Easter animal people seem to remember. Hmmmm. I wonder why? Millions…
Brontosaurs & Time Travel
The baby brontosaurs were waiting for a clear coat when we left off. Before Clear Coating make a final check to confirm all your touch-ups have been completed. A check underneath indicated I still had some work to do. Touch-ups around the legs, some coating inside them and the baby brontosaurs were ready to clear…

Dinosaur Drums are Calling!
March is Music Month for Readingtokids.org. I have been saving decorative tins for several years, not knowing quite what to do with them. You know the kind, filled with Shortbread or a variety of European Chocolate Cookies. You may purchase these treats at various times of the year, but the winter holidays are when you…
Stanley’s Color Splashes & Stegosauria
We left off with Stanley’s Rust-Reformer coating. The Flat Black is a Cool Look, but probably Best for a Carnivore. Next step Rusty Brown Primer. Again, starting on Stanley’s side allows reaching inside the legs and tight spots underneath. Upright for finishing and 48 hours to cure. As mentioned previously I’m using the bird experience…
Stanley the Stegosaurus & History of Stegosauria
Stanley joined the Prehistoric Pals at the Park last May and has been very patient waiting for his rust protection. As a result of the long wait, the wire brushing took much longer. Stanley like Stephanie, a Stegosaurus that arrived a year earlier than Stanley, has a number of stamped details in the metal that…
Baby Brontosaurs & Changes at the Museum
We left off with the baby brontosaurs post 11/23/2019 “More on Blue Too, The Baby Brontosaurs and Dinosaur Pads”. The decorative design for the Brontosaurs backs, added colors for the Eyes, Nostrils and Claws are the next steps. All these details are added by dipping artists brushes into the caps after spraying the paint into…
Tyrannosaurs Come in All Sizes!
As we discussed in post February 1, 2020 “Hobbes Transformation & History of the Tyrannosaurs” early members of the Tyrannosaur family existed over 100 million years before the T-Rex came on the scene in the last of the Cretaceous Period. Four years before the discovery of Kileskus by Alexander Averianov in the Krasnoyarsk Region of…
