      A glossy black look for the claws would be my choice.

            Here's the Raptor...work in progress...

            Horizon JP Velociraptor - a set on Flickr

            The Raptor model has an original upward stance...but I don't like it...looks like it's gargling water or something...lol.

            So I told the model-maker to re-potition its stance...and give it a more menacing attacking lunging position...I think he looks more baddass that way.

            What do guys/gals you think?

                That's a done deal, my friend.

                I now need opinions on the color of it's claws.

                Bone color or glossy black?

                    I vote black on the nails too. Nice WIP pics. I see he uses Tamiya acrylics - they are the BEST paints in the hobby IMO.

                        THANK YOU!

                        That's what I was requesting, opinions on the color of the claws/nails, not the body, that has obviously already been decided, lol.

                        People, please follow my posts, lol.

                        Yes, excellent paints indeed.

                        And thanks again for your choice of claws/nail paint, and NOT body paint, that's a moot point...lol.

                          Personally I would like the bone white better.

                          Seems more realistic

                          Black would be fine if you were using it in a movie because that seems to be the trend

                            I will take that into consideration, because I also like the bone-colored look as well.

                            However, black is really not a trend, because it is based on birds of prey, they tend to have black-colored talons...plus the Velociraptor is said to be an ancestor of birds. Many Dino claw fossils come in black as well, but some are bone-colored too.

                            Either way, it is a tough choice for sure, I like them both...lol.

                            Thanks, Mike...for your input...I will make my decision soon.

                              My vote is brown. He looks scary. Also reminds me of Dinobot from Beast Wars. :D
