Sister Wants You To Jerk

come from Where's the little Squiggofanten, Part 1

Lucky chance

After the idea of a separate Squiggofanten for some time through my brain turns walked there and he is wrapped around the question why it matters whether it would be worth a Schleich Dino to buy for a fortune, I stumbled at the flea market in Haselünne on this worn out toys for the Dino 50ct (roughly the right eye of a slow-Dinos) in my possession changed over.

I almost forgot to post a link, for those who do not know what a Squiggofant: http://wh40k.lexicanum.de/wiki/Squiggofant

The Dino is very worn and the structure a little rusty, are also seeing significant casting fin. But no matter. There must be something to it anyway to be made.

The dinosaur, still fresh and healthy

I jeopardize an extinct species

After a brief show trial was the Dino in a hurry sentenced to death by decapitation and the sentence was carried out on the same evening by the craft knife . Since ivory is still hard to obtain were also kept by the head of the horns.

"down with his head!"

So why are the dinosaurs died out ...

... because they are completely hollow inside! Since one model is not on the soft body can Dino needed a filling. However, I did not want the model with synthetic resin, or sand with glue, etc. . Fill Since it would have all a bit too hard (and made in the case of resin also fiercely expensive. So I went for building foam, in addition to the fact that it's a beautiful mess is to work with, even . very easy all we have at least the theory so deep inside the nozzle and construction foam march

Say. "AAAAAAAHHHHH"

That sounded so good in theory ...

In practice, however, there was the problem of the expanding foam is herausgequollen greatly from the hole and the interior still remained somewhat hollow.
The stability increase was large enough but thank God that I can continue working now. This morning I cut off the building foam flush with the neck and will in the next few days with the model of the head start, the structure of a bit of spice and remove from all the obvious casting fin.

large wounds tend to fester more ...
