#brachiosaurus

I am thrilled with how my Brachiosaurus is coming along and wanted to share some progress so far! 🦕 She is my very first sauropod sculpture, so I did a ton of research to make sure I got her right, though I'm sure i got somehthing wrong ^_^'! I'd love to hear from any dino enthusiasts if you spot anything I may have missed. Later this year I will be releasing her as part of my Dinosaur Chibi Collection, a personal passion project I have been quietly working on and planning for a very long time. This collection means a lot to me and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you all here!

Plannosaurus Brachiosaurus

This is the last Plannosaur I've built, and it was a while ago. I do have the Therizinosaur, and I have a few on preorder, but I just haven't gotten around to building them yet. Anyway, after the Parasaur, I decided to switch gears to doing naturalistic interpretations of famous versions of the dinos I was painting. In this case, Bakuryu Brachio from Abaranger.

Also, unrelated, but this thing pure black primed looked pretty cool.

The Details: As I eluded to, I primed the entire kit in black and then tried to emulate Bakuryu Brachios colors using mostly gold and silver, with a few streaks of red, blue, and yellow, and with red for the eyes.

Overall, another cute kit. Part of the reason I haven't done any since then is because the only thing I can think to paint the Therizinosaur is after the Dragonzord, and I kinda want to be more original than that. Oh, fun fact, did you know they planned to do a full-scale Bakuryu Brachio, but it never made it to full production? There was a scale one made of cardboard, but never a DX. Only a small playset version.

I was walking of out of Slam Dunk Festival the other weekend, mildly dehydrated and slick with the layers of sun tan notion from throughout the day, when this dude who was clearly on some kind of substance, points at me and shouts (a bit slack jawed), ‘maaaaate, I can see your purple aura!’

I’ve had worse things shouted at me in my life, and given I had pretty much been on my feet for 8 hours, the only thing I could muster in response was, ‘whoa! Thanks.’

To which he then responds, ‘yeeeeah man, I can see it! Are you Dutch? It’s the purple aura of a Dutchman!’
