Time for primer and painting. Lying your Dinosaur on its side allows you to provide a good protective coating inside the legs. It is also helpful to ensure a good coating on the underside of the body. Several light coats are better than one heavy one. After returning to an upright position, the priming can…
Pamela the Pachycephalosaurus gets a Makeover
It’s always a good idea to select a site before adopting a Metal Dinosaur. Depending on the size you don’t want to be moving them around frequently. Mine are involved in many of my projects so they tend to travel the yard and inside the house from time to time. I have platform trucks and…

Even More Color Splashes for Angie the Augustynolophus
I repainted the Orange with a lighter shade by adding more Sun Yellow to the mixture. It came out on the Salmon Pink side of Orange. I added a Purple outline that I made by mixing the Navy Blue & Apple Red. The first mix was so dark it dried black. I added some White…

The Yellow & Almond have received two coats of paint as well as the Nutmeg, Red and Purple. Angie’s Lavender Eyes are back too!
