I figured that infants would be easier to sculpt than adults, and since I wanted a nice skeletal reference for my first maquette, I used the Papo Deinonychus figure and modified the my wire armature to my needs.

yeah and foil too. I had to mount it on something that resembled a rock because it wouldn't stand up like yours. The feet and hands were a pain in the ASS! I'll post it up here later so you can see it.

Yes they are!!!! Teeth are a pain, too XP ! I would like to try something a little bigger next time, and more complicated. Like maybe a dragon...but then again, I have some sketches for a pteranodon hatchling. Have you ever used wire mesh for maquettes? And sweet! I'd love to see it

cool! is this dinosaur the ancestor of the velicoraptor? they look identical!o.0

Thanks! And that depends: If you're speaking of the "Velociraptors" used in Jurassic Park, they weren't actually velociraptors at all! They substituted Deinonychus in their stead, so that the on-screen dinosaurs would be more...Imposing. Deinonychus were 6' tall and 16' long, while Velociraptors were only 3.5' -4' tall, and 6' long. They are from the same family though, and are closely related
