The Triceratops’ Claws are masked and painted Hammered Gray to match their Beaks. The Brontosaurs Claws are painted the same color. However, no blue tape or plastic is needed. Artists Brushes dipped into paint sprayed into the caps of the paint cans do the trick for the Brontosaurs. These Brontosaurs had only three toes per foot vs. five on those in the fossil records. So, I painted two more toes on each foot. They seem happy with the additional toes.
The Racing Green Metallic has been applied to the front and backs of the Triceratops Shields. As mentioned before the males received more color to reflect a bolder design to attract mates as they would have millions of years ago. The Gold Rush Metallic Rings in the center of the Shields near the Horns will be painted over. I was trying out a design idea. The Triceratops and I agreed it was too much. The sides of Christopher & Paul received one trim line, yet bolder in Racing Green Metallic separating the two shades of Violet. A paint tongue design is in the works for the Triceratops otherwise, it’s time to give them a rest. I may add more to the side design with Racing Green Metallic or perhaps a design for their backs. But, “Less is More” may rule the day. It’s time to finish up with the Brontosaurs. The Brontosaurs: Mom Cindy, Dad Gary & Uncle Stewart rejoin the kids – Kristen, Libby & Arlo – to show off their current makeover status.
Stay Tuned for Finishing the Brontosaurs & More Dinosaur History too!

I used watercolors to make Dinosaur Designs on my N95 Masks (New Ones above). I couldn’t get a yes or no from 3M regarding any impact this might have to the effectiveness of the mask. Many Museums sell Dinosaur Themed Masks Check them Out!
