You haven't seen my Supes collection in the Toyroom forum?

Here's a closeup of the lunchbox...

I was hoping you say that!

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?

[Mego Milk]

I like the brown one, sir.

[Hector]

I like the brown Pone, sir.

That's a done deal, my friend.

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

Bone color or glossy black?

[alex]

brown for me

[Megospidey]

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

[Hector]

Please...if you guys say BROWN one more time...

Are you guys doing this on purpose???
