Beautiful brush painted details—the ridges and scales are quite realistic; the sculpts breathe realistic air. The eye clearly visible—and clearly watchful—adds so much personality. This is a beautiful work in progress, Borg, and I look forward to seeing the beasts on the base!

Oh I do like how those are turning out. How can you not love dinosaurs?

Great inspiration! I am trying my hand at making some foliage. In this case some reed.
I have glued the reeds in small holes that is made. And am experimenting with the set up.

Magnificent work on the reeds. One suggestion I have; move the dinosaur closer to the croc so that it appears the croc is seconds away from clamping down on that dino's neck. Your call though as this is your project and it is already more impressive than I imagined it could be.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am still toying around a bit so all that input is welcome.

I've always been afraid of working in this genre of modeling. Modeling live subjects is an artwork in itself. This looks great Borg. Awesome stuff man.
