Velociraptor

thingiverse

This is very much a work in progress, I am still figuring out how best to divide this for better printing. I'm still not satisfied with the teeth and mouth and it will need some significant work to get it just right (the small teeth won't print without a big scale up, and making them bigger looks weird), and I know it's not watertight yet as I work to correct cosmetic issues without losing detail (general quick watertight options remove some key details). I am sharing this a bit early to keep with my Friday release schedule and get feedback as I continue to improve this model throughout the weekend. Thanks for your patience as I work to complete this model. Check out my page: https://www.thingiverse.com/RyanTheMast/designs for several more printable heroes and creatures. For the base, I used elements of SexyCowLegs' Velociraptor Skeleton. Check out their page for more great designs at https://www.thingiverse.com/sexycowlegs/about Velociraptor is one of the dinosaur genera most familiar to the general public due to its prominent role in the Jurassic Park movie series. In real life, however, Velociraptor was roughly the size of a turkey, considerably smaller than the approximately 2 m (7 ft) tall and 80 kg (180 lb) reptiles seen in the films (which were based on members of the related genus Deinonychus). Today, Velociraptor is well known to paleontologists, with over a dozen described fossil skeletons, the most of any dromaeosaurid. Update! Lifay64 at https://www.thingiverse.com/lifay64/about and Justin87 at https://www.thingiverse.com/Justin87/about are the winners of this thing's First Make Awards! Please check out their pages for more great makes. Update! 5/26/19 As requested by Griforok, I uploaded a complete version without a peg hole. Update! 5/27/19 Based on feedback from Lifay64 and Justin87, I made a version with a larger base to improve balance and a peg separate from the base so you can print the peg in vase mode to save time. If this proves popular, I will work on some other dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, as well as accessories and variants of this model if requested. I could possibly do things like battle wounds, dino-rider armor, a wall mountable bust, or a jungle base. So please post your makes, hit like, and provide feedback in the comments on what you would like to see.
