patrickhudson Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Decided to attempt some DIY Dino displays today. Happy with how they turned out - as long as my three year old doesn’t get ahold of them. I’m going to try the claw mount with some natural wood, maybe beach wood, in the future and spend a bit more time on it - but the first try worked out somewhat. All personal Montana finds with my buddy and my 12 year old daughter. All teeth are 100% natural except the largest brown one which has some minor repair, and the claws which have tip repair. also - I get that the tarsal bone (?) doesn’t fit the claw, but I’m no purist - and not that smart, and for display purposes in my daughters room it looks cool enough. Maybe if @Troodon wants to donate a proper bone to fit the claw I’ll fix it 3 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be blasphemous - but double sided clear 3m tape. A tiny piece does the trick - and I haven’t had any issues in the past damaging anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Ha ha not sure my chocolate brown Hell Creek phalanx would look nice next to that claw. Looks great. Very creative way of displaying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking recently of building something on the scroll saw lately myself. I really like the look of the wood background you have in these. Giving me all kinds of ideas. *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Wonderful use of the wood, I especially like the claw stand.
