patrickhudson Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 A little art project I’m working on. The teeth are all real, no restorations - all found by myself and my daughter. I get that the teeth aren’t t-rex but I just liked the skull replica (bought online). I also get that the teeth aren’t necessarily in the right position or arch, but I figured 99.999%of people would never know. The original skull had horrible looking teeth before I broke them all out Feel free to tell me what’s blatantly wrong and I can fix it, or replace with other teeth I’ve got. Next up is working on a frame to hang it in. I was thinking a sheet metal backing with a wood frame and some led lights behind the skull? Any thoughts or ideas in a display? thanks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 looks good, well done! Do you go to paint the teeth in one color or will they stay as they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Nice effort The only items that popped out as a bit odd was the large difference in the width of the erupted teeth. Most folks would not be able to tell. The green circled tooth is difficult to see looks on the surface as a premax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBkansas Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Cool way to display your teeth! How did you attach them? Edited July 28, 2023 by JBkansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled out the existing skulls teeth and then used a clear silicone to secure the teeth. That way if I want I can remove them without damaging the teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
