Jurassic Park - Big Velociraptors

I'll be watching this with extreme interest, who knows I might even be tempted to try this myself since my 6 year old brother is such a JP Dinosaur nut.

Should have more for you to see this weekend hopefully. I have shaped the head more since my last pics.

Looks like it's coming along nicely. Very cool project!

Real good start, can't wait to see more

Here're pics from a couple of weeks back (hadn't been able to upload til now). The eyes are resin cast and are being positioned in these pics. I have made much more progress on the shaping and details since these were taken, and will upload more pictures very soon.

I haven't sculpted something as large but would it be possibe to carve the basic shape from foam and and overlay it with clay?

 

[Prop-Builder]

Yes, that's basically one way of doing an armature. You would have to coat the foam with something to give the clay a better surface to adhere to, such as resin. The armature I did for this has foam sprayed onto a post (post attached to the board), and after a little shaping I coated it with fibreglass. Although my foam shape was more crude and I relied on the clay itself to form the shape.

Very good start.
Enjoy about news pics

Oops if I payed attention I would have seen the pic with the redish colored foam what type of foam is it by the way?.

 

[Prop-Builder]

I just used expanding spray foam available at any DIY store, then covered it with resin and glass cloth.

Well, it's been a while, but I had made much more progress on 1/2 scale Raptor busts. Here's some pics of a kit. I have all 4 JP versions just by modifying the head a little. This one came out a bit bubbly as I didn't let the resin settle long enough after shaking the bottle. Anyone want to see them painted up? I'm going to put in glass resin eyes.

Sweet. Always wanted a full scale one. Missed the one for sale a while back from the original molds. Bummed.... This looks great man. Get it painted already..... Please.

 

[Prop-Builder]

Thought you might be interested in this painted up Raptor at 1/1 scale.

Beautiful! In a scary dinosaur way!

 

[Prop-Builder]

I'm considering doing the shoulders and chest area for one too, and painting up some males. I'll do the same for the smaller 1/2 busts too. I think it would look better as a wall mount that way.
