can't tell if there is an ear hole - there should be
tail too curvey at the end - would have been more stiff
shoulders look a bit humanish (wide). the coracoids should be near touching in the midline.
metatarsals seem about 10-15% too long
don't see a first toe (kind of a dewclaw)

other than that, very impressive!

Dear all SPNHC members,

My name is Thomas Hughes, I am a BA(Hons) Modelmaking student, studying at The Arts University Bournemouth in the UK. I'm particularly interested in modelmaking for museum and natural history exhibitions.

I have recently been working on this 1:30 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model (pictures attached) it is currently in its raw clay state so adjustments can still be made, it will be moulded and cast before painting and finishing. I would like to ensure it is as accurate as possible, so any comments, or ideas for adjustments would be greatly appreciated and credited.

If anyone would like to see more pictures, do let me know, I'm happy to send them to you off the list server.

Thank you in advance for your help.


Regards,


Thomas Hughes
