I have one of my original dinosaur sculpture up for auction on eBay. It is similar to the film version stegosaurus in King Kong as it has pebbly skin and eight tail spikes. Proceeds from the final bid price will go to benefit the St.Baldricks Foundation for childhood cancer research.
Here is the link if you'd like to take a look :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120897889574
After spraying the stegosaurus with primer I brushed on a coat of liquid latex to mask off the tail spikes.Using an airbrush I misted a couple light coats of Polytranspar Light Bass Green over the entire sculpture.
After the plates were added I moved on to working on the tail spikes. The locations were marked on the tail and then drilled. The spikes were then glued in place. When all the parts of the stegosaurus had been assembled I covered the entire sculpture with a thin layer of Apoxie Sculpt clay.
While the clay was still soft I embedded various sizes of baked Super Sculpey into it to give the dinosaur hide a pebbly armored look.
After the clay had cured overnight I gave the sculpture a couple light coats of white lacquer primer.
