Description
I thought I'd have my hand at customising a figure. This little fella is a Jurassic Park Velociraptor toy. I have three, and these used to be my favourite toys, dubbed "digging dinosaurs". When I found him, he was looking a bit battered, due to all the "digging" he did in the garden. So why not spice him up a little? Hot stuff!

Recipe:
-1 Velociraptor model
-4 Coloured enamel paints- Brown, orange, yellow and red
-Too much free time
-Paintbrushes
-White spirit

1.Wash the dinosaur, making sure that all the seaweed and sand and mud has been washed out after many years of play down the beach/garden.
2. Put it in the airing cupboard to dry. Deny all knowledge of putting it there to parents.
3. Get all your gear set out, make sure newspaper is down, and paint it all red. Wait for 6 hours before doing another coat. Then wait some more.
4. Start adding details on body, making sure tail is dry enough to hold. Make sure each colour dries before adding another layer.
5. Paint the tail and make a mess everywhere. Leave to dry. Including paint in the sink, which will piss your mother off.
6. Set up pot plants and fossil collection in back room and take photos! Yaaay!
