This mod will be released June 12th 2015, when Jurassic World is released.

That's not an unrealistic date to hit. Maybe Stern will buy it from me and put it in their Jurassic World pin!

Finally some progress from this slacker!

Still working on the neck and body...

Uh oh... I don't want to commit to this yet, but I think I've come up with a way that she can have arms!

#306 9 years ago

That is so rocking, you can def. count on me for one. You are one damn good artist there winter.

I feel bad for T-Rex arms...

I think the arms wouldn't look right with the current model, but I'd love to see you try. Poseidon Yang is a great modeler and here are some pics from his female t-rex as a reference...

Progress!

I still have some more to do before this part is finished, like blend the divide between the back of the neck and the head and redo some areas.

If only Smaug was this cool......

#310 9 years ago

Smaug is a technological marvel! We can marvel at how JP managed to do it better decades before =)

Smaug is a little off topic. Let's please keep this thread about this project and comments/opinions about other games' toys elsewhere.

Thanks,
Jim

I guess I chose the wrong time to post updated progress. I'm getting burried under Expo threads!

No pics for today, but I've confirmed the latest additions are in-tact and hardened. I had a bit of a scare when I noticed movement in the underlying polymer clay shell on the back that I had originally superglued together. I guess the epoxy and dried super glue weren't getting along.

I'm not happy with the scales in some areas and will end up re-doing them, but that shouldn't take too long.

I might install it this weekend for a test to confirm it can work in this current state. I will have to hot glue the top of the head onto the frame or something for a temporary bond since it's not currently attached to the back/neck like it will be in the end.

#314 9 years ago

With 616 people posting right now, it is hard not to get buried any time of the day.

#315 9 years ago

Dang this is looking awesome!

#316 9 years ago

Looking really good. Can't wait to see more.

So excited for this. Patiently waiting.

I went ahead and joined the back and top of the head. Even though it will make the mold more complex, it will make for a stronger piece in the end.

I've still got some spots to fix up, but I'll hopefully be finished with this part of the sculpting soon. Then it's on to teeth and mold-making.

#322 9 years ago

Oh snap. Congrats man, that's a big milestone.

#323 9 years ago

Wowowowow!!!

#324 9 years ago

Sweet! That looks great!

#326 9 years ago

Super nice! Put the teeth in there, a dash of paint and you'll probably have 9,008 potential buyers (source: ipdb.org) .

#327 9 years ago

Brilliant work! I'm extremely impressed. You must have fist pumped when you got a successful t-rex chomp!

Looks amazing!!! When can you start on a remake of Smaug????

#331 9 years ago

That is fantastic - congrats on the great job!

#332 9 years ago

I can't wait to see what it looks like with teeth.

#333 9 years ago

Nice! !!

BTW sorry about a post long ago bitching about mod prices
I got mixed up with the trex Matt is making and his prices

This looks awesome . ..even as an albino LOL!

#334 9 years ago

Hah! Looks great!!

#335 9 years ago

SWEET! Cannot wait to see it with teeth! Kudos man

#336 9 years ago

Great meeting you Jim, and OUTSTANDING work man !!

#337 9 years ago

I just got my 1st DMD (and only 2nd SS), It happens to be a JP.

Damn, I want one of those. Great job so far, keep up the good work.

#338 9 years ago

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement.

I worked today on improving scales in some areas. I'll move on to finalizing teeth soon.

Just so we're clear, the current sculpture will not get painted. It will be used for making molds for casting in another material.

Your T-Rex looks incredible! I don't have a JP, but boy if I did...

#340 9 years ago

Absolutely incredible! I am in shear awe of the work and am excitedly looking forward to seeing more! And, selfishly, my JP is greatly desiring this!

#341 9 years ago

Test teeth...

IMG_20141113_212544.jpgIMG_20141113_212544.jpg

These's aren't the final teeth (obviously not the final color,either), at least not in the top. These are from the same mold I made for much earlier tests. I think they look like good bottom teeth, but I'll have to sculpt some different ones for the top and figure out the best consistent way to secure them in place.

After having it sit in the game and studying it from the player's perspective I noticed some things that needed to be changed, so I worked on some improvements to the head. The front edge and the top of the crest have been altered and softened up a bit. I also lowered the top edges of the back of the head behind the brows.

#343 9 years ago

Nice, looking good man.

#345 9 years ago

Sweet!!! way better than the original! Normally I'm not into MODs on existing original pins but this happens to be a superior upgrade from the DE T-Rex, you hit it out of the park! Just crossing my fingers about pricing if and when available

#346 9 years ago

FINE! I'll take one as a tester...I'll be the guinea pig

Just messing. Great work man! Looks fantastic!

#347 9 years ago

Sweet....
Makes me want to get JP again.

#348 9 years ago

um, DAYUM!

#349 9 years ago

First let me say that this is nothing short of awesome! Not to be Debbie Downer but does the new T-Rex pick the ball up (have enough clearance) when the metal guard is installed in front of it on the playfield? Just a thought if it hadn't been tested with the metal part there. Believe me, when this is done, I'm all in. Great work.

Amazing the difference the teeth make in the look!
