    LOL.... just kidding. it was a great trade. glad you put that Killer to good use.

    i'm going to make a remix of your comment about how many good toys are sacrificed to make a mash-up.

    WOW!!!
    Awesome, Dustin... the Killer is not a sculpt I've paid much attention to, but you've added to it in a way that is so perfectly complementary and natural... really makes this toy, for me!
    I hope Bwana takes a look!

    ^^^Thanks

    I have finally decided that it's time to start sculpting something so, in between painting toys, I'm going to be working on this guy:

    I decided to take a stab at sculpting my favorite kind of dinosaur, an ankylosaur. It's still pretty rough and I've got a ways to go but I'm having a lot of fun with this dude and learning a ton.

    thats my favorite dinosaur too. well, he was tied with triceratops when i was a kid. now the anklyosaur wins because he looks most like armadillos which are living dinosaurs themselves.

    the sculpting is killer. when you want to do a mold, let me know and i can help out.

    Love the sleepy-eyed head on this. Is it just me or is it a little sheepish. :)

    Thanks a lot, you guys! I appreciate all the comments and I'm stoked that you guys are feelin' this little dino.

    Still plugging away...got some legs roughed-in this morning and I think I'm really beginning to like the proportions on this dude:

    [​IMG]

    Still rough, I know, but eventually I want him to have short legs and stampy dino feet.

    Looks great Dustin! You are some kind of talented for sure.

    He looks awesome as a dinosaur but personally I'd love to see him possess a little more "monster quality." But that's just my own personal taste.... 8)
