Citipati oviraptor 3d print

Recommended Posts

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.

Very nicely done! Excellent job :) 

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

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,

Really great job indeed. I would like to see some more different angles of it and if possible the baby T.rex too. :ighappy:

Really great job. What kind of paint did you end up using? How did you apply it?

 

I mostly used the following web site for guidance on painting the skull.  Along with some experimentation with different colors.

Very interesting. I've saved that link for when I go to 3-D print some fossils. Thank you!
