Tidgy's Dad Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Amazing job! What a wonderful but bonkers project. It'll take you a week to clean up. But the finished article is a great centrepiece and talking point. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 That looks fantastic. What material did you use to cover the foam, and did you press the teeth into it before it hardened? Some pictures look like the teeth are kind of sunken into the jaws. 1 For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What material did you use to cover the foam, and did you press the teeth into it before it hardened? Some pictures look like the teeth are kind of sunken into the jaws. Thanks, I put some kind of modeling clay over the foam. It comes in the tube like a silicone and when it dries it's almost like a plaster but very light. Takes quite a while to dry so after painting I pressed little indents in to it for every tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Now, you just need to collect a sequence of partially developed teeth for each position to create the conveyor belt of teeth. 1 Regards, Kris Global Paleo Services, LLC https://globalpaleoservices.com http://instagram.com/globalpaleoservices http://instagram.com/kris.howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
