Tony G. Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 My 3D print of a full size Citipati oviraptor skull. 3d files came from: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/life-size-citipati-oviraptor-skull-and-cervical-vertebrae. I had no idea how to paint when I started this. A lot of Google searching on how to paint and experimentation. Also printed Life size baby T-rex skeleton, which is about 7' long. I started 3d printing about a year ago when my wife and kids bought me an Ender 3 Pro for Christmas. Pretty soon I will have my own dinosaur museum in the house. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amateur Paleontologist Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Very nicely done! Excellent job Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q.

Allosaurus Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Really great job. What kind of paint did you end up using? How did you apply it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Cool! I have been looking for a Oviraptor 3d scan for a long time and ended up building my own using ct data. And now there it is. Great paintjob! Best regards, J Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Really great job indeed. I would like to see some more different angles of it and if possible the baby T.rex too. I don’t where you live but it not often you get a bison looking in at your window . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly used the following web site for guidance on painting the skull.

I've saved that link for when I go to 3-D print some fossils. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
