Day 36: T-Rex Model

Day 36:

A sculpture of the T-Rex skeleton from the Museum of Natural History. It’s been my favorite thing about NYC ever since I was a child and it always  will be.

I used paper clay, and the base is made out of the museum’s pamphlets. If you see it in person you can see the floor plan and everything.

We were supposed to ONLY use paper for this project, but once it was over I just painted the base. You can still see the floor plan, but now the dinosaur and the base are clearly distinguishable. 

I would’ve posted this sooner but when the project was over, before painting the base, I tore off like half the paper clay from his ribs and his entire right (our left) foot. I wasn’t going to post him until he was finished, and now he is!

Anyways, I worked hard on this. I hope you guys like it!
