Geospiza fortis' Animal Models

What a wonderful seahorse!!

Wonderful and impressive Seahorse  I understand why your friend was happy, not only vbecause it is wonderful and impressive but because you have spent hours for her. She has a very good friend

Wow love it. I would absolutely buy this model in a store

Thank you, Widukind, Kikimalou, and MiniZoo. Here's another picture of my elephant:

It should be done soon enough for next week's Student art show.

Looking good!

Thank you, LeeAnn.
My elephant is finally done, though I actually had it finished two weeks ago, I've just been busy and hadn't had the chance to post it. The art show I entered it, as well as my other models and cane, was a huge success (until it rained) , with many positive comments on my pieces.

While baking, it actually lost balance and fell on the side. The repair job took a few days and involved the removal of the right legs, but I would say the fix is acceptable. On top of that, it had a little fall after the show was over and so is sitting on my desk waiting for me to re-attatch one of the tusks and fix a white mark on the one side. As well as my elephant, I have also planned and started three dinosaurs. Here's my first; Indominus rex:

Congrats. I can see why you were a hit at the shows nice job on the repair

I like your models very much. It seems you are able to do whatever you want!. Congratulations!

Impressive finished elephant and dinosaur internal structure indicates that it will be a great job!. Congratulations !!.

The dinosaur looks very intriguing

Thanks Wilorvise, Mgarat, Signatue, and MiniZoo!
I took a picture today showing skin texture:

I missed your excellent elephant and the Indominius is very vey promising

Very cool!

Your sculptures are gorgeous!
I'm looking forward to see finished Indominus Rex Now she looks perfect

Great work again :)

The elephant is looking great and I love the dinosaur too. Did you finish this dino lately?

Thanks :) Actually I had some other sculptures to do and so indy will not be finished for at least a week. But here are the ones I've missed posting:
This parasaurolophus is in 1:20 scale; almost too big for me to handle (and to think I was originally intending it to be 1:12).

The gorgosaurus is in 1:40.

After the indominus, I have planned a columbian mammoth, tropeognathus, europasaurus, and brontosaurus all in 1:40.

They are beautyful, Geospiza

Love the pose of that gorgosaurus, it is gorgeous!
Very nice projects and lots of talent, please keep us up to date.

Wonderful I like both models, the parasaurolophus is so quiet and noble with a delicious painting

I like the Gorogosaurspose of course but the thing I prefer is the head: It has flesh and it is so different from "skinny skins on bones" theropod head

Your work is inspiring

Phantastic!

Amazing !!! A color too! With that it always has problems I
Otherwise, what material do you use?

Thanks, all
Kiki, I don't like the skin-and bone look, either. I can't think of any modern animal which has fenestrae as visible as those seen in some theropod drawings.
Maty, I use a combination of Super Sculpey Firm and Super Sculpey, but more recently I've been using the regular Super Sculpey without mixing.
Here's an American Crocodile I've been doing:

He's based on one which used to live at a local zoo but was sent back to a zoo in Florida after he outgrew his exhibit. I don't think I've seen this species in toy form yet.

Also, a Columbian mammoth.
I'm considering dropping a constant scale with my modern animals as to reduce space issues and so I can make smaller animals with less difficulty. The prehistoric animals I want at 1:40 but I don't think I'll use a consistent scale for modern animals anymore.

I'll also be going on vacation soon where I'll visit Disney's Animal Kingdom, meaning I'll have inspiration and photos for more animals upon my return.

It's always interesting to see your in-progress works
