Not only it is difficult to leave behind so much rich exchanging with so many lovely people, but I had left with pending work here, and on top , everytime I come from my alternative “home” I have some marvels to customise too… it has been customising week(s) people! I had to keep track of every update.
This time as usual I brought some good stuff from Hector Munive, Yeuehcauhceratos here pictured… modified partly by me, but hey… I like to keep things personal!
On top of that, the legendary CDMX shop “Tienda de Dinosaurios” , that has a prominent stall in what is anyone’s toy dream-place (or nightmare spending on your mental state) called “Rock Show”, with its zillions of models, street stalls and sweaty customers, and two prominent dinosaur model stalls, including one by the devoted Arturo PC. with which I did some very good exchanges, “Tienda” has commercialised a fine display miniature piece called “Combate Eterno”, that portray the most famous predation scene in the fossil record: Velociraptor vs Protoceratops. The sculpt is fine but unfortunately I was baffled by the colour scheme… completely the reverse of what the fossil really is! . So customising it was a good start on my return… and a good complement to the finished 1/10 version of “Dinosauria Creatures’ fine restoration of the battle… my palette of colours again at work! So much fun and so dynamic!
Dinosauria Creatures continues to do great. great work and I managed to give my 1/35 version of the same battle as a gift to the eponymous Isaac Camacho for his birthday… the man that at the age of 13 has managed to already create a whole alien planet (and its ecology, in detail) and wisely >still< prefers dinosaurs… and expertly talk about it!… a LOT! Here we are under Splintersaurus Spinosaurus in Saltillo, Coahuila. Keep going Isaac!
Coming back to Dinosauria Creatures, I had several kits pending to finish… one of them (personal favourite) was a fight of two very hormonal male Camaraaurus … I spent a good deal of time trying to find a colour scheme that would surprise (or enrage) everybody… this time making use of my new iridescent palette… I thought, if Prehistoric Planet got away with serial inflatables along the neck… why not colour patterns that would be just as changing and outrageous…
The iridescent patterns were also put to use my new Dinosauria Creatures couple: Ceratosaurus and Kentrosaurus... more experimental than anything else! Customising is my way of experiment with colours lately.
Long live 3D Printing and good sculpt artists… now I just need to change profession once again… and the task will be completed!
