    Critiques are very important! You should never feel bad about pointing out something to anyone of any experience level. That's what makes us grow as artists.

    I didn't personally feel it was necessary to muddle with the dino mode as far as adding articulation, but what does everybody else think? It certainly wouldn't be overly difficult to do. Maybe I will!

    Thanks for making that easier to say!

    i mean its just that he is super articulated everywhere else....
    i think it would make the whole thing seem of the same mold rather than just the old dino arms on there personally

    Yeah, that's a very good point. I think I will do the arms now that you bring it up. Aside from detailing the feet and abs section, and gap filling and sanding that would be all I need to do before paint prep. Sold! Thanks!

    I totally don't know yet! More and more people mention to me they would love to see this in G2 colors.

    I think when I'm done with the build mods, and prepping for paint I'll put up a poll for a week or so in General Discussion to get a broad opinion.

    Love that! Whenever I see dinosaur stuff I immediately turn back into a six year old kid!

    I gues I was concentrating on the botmode so much I overlooked the obvious need for a little arm articulation in dino mode, haha!
