    This work very well Zizi for the Raptor mold!!! Very nice job applying the sculpy I must say!!!

    What is your idea for painting? Keeping the gray or are you going to spice him up a bit?

    dirty white and spots like the original toy, but due to this mold's design, the legs will have to ba a bit flesh colored to brownish flesh to compensate for the gold parts of the original toy while still making this bot's beast mode relatively believable. :D

    This is turning out really cool. I enjoy seeing customs being made how the artists wants to!!!! Plus, I have always been a huge dinosaur buff. I actually wanted to be and archeologist and study fossils up until I was about...well, I still would like to do it!!

    Looks beautiful. I like the colours like this. It wouldn't even necessarily need a secundary colour.

    But if you DO want suggestions for colours, a metallic/candy purple + one predacon symbol -could- look sweet.

    I have an original Dinobot, and I'm tempted to do something with it, but I won't, I want to keep it as original, especially since its still in mint condition.

    I can imagine how tedious sculpting those feathers must have been. Excellent sculpting skills. It really paid off!
