T. rex - 3D printed head

OK then, here’s the final model for the Tyrannosaurus collection, I’m calling this one the Dual-Detail Rex Head (at least until I think of a better name :smile:).

3D printed model, built and sculpted entirely in Blender 2.78 and 2.79.

If you saw the final posts of my W.I.P thread you’ll be aware it comes in lipped and non-lipped versions to reflect the current scientific debate about the subject. This is a 3 piece model and assembly with a suitable glue is recommended this time. Initially only 2 scales for this version- 1:20 and 1:16. Sometimes I get requests for other scales for the skulls so this may change.

A few more photos of the lipped version (we call her Scarface).

Example shown in photos is 1:20 scale, brush painted with artist’s acrylic and lightly coated with a compatible gloss varnish for protection. Display stands is perspex and 2mm piano wire.

It feels like I’ve been chipping away at this thing forever and I’ve just filled over a week prepping models, photos and the like but I think I’m finally putting rexy to bed (mostly).

I say mostly because of course nothing’s ever really finished. There’s always something to add or tinker with so I may re-visit this thread with an occasional update. Also I haven’t printed myself a non-lipped model yet so there’ll be more photos if/when I get round to it, I fancy a croc-like olive green with rust-coloured eye horns for that version.

It’s good to get the work out there at last, hopefully I’ll make a few sales on this but we’ll see. I’m sure I’ll be back here with a new project at some point.

this is crazy, I feel like you could make a lot of money off this if you sold a bunch of these

oh wait, you are selling them! I didn’t know you could do that!

Thanks, I don’t think I’ll make a lot of money on this, it’s quite a niche product and not to everyone’s taste. It’s nice to get the work out there though, I’ve had some great responses so far.
