digit Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Very nice work (and resulting fossil). Did you manage to prep this with just the dental pick and toothbrush pictured? Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. -Ken we worked on it mostly with a few dental picks and the toothbrush, somtimes we had to use the airscribe to remove realy hard parts of the matrix. it was a tedious prepjob, but we are realy pleased with the results. And we could work on turns on the piece 2 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
