32fordboy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find good photos of the first few neck verts in a psittacosaurus. Mine is missing some, so I was thinking about making some that at least look right from PaleoSculp. Thanks. Nick www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I suggest typing psittacosaurus skeletons into google, you get a lot of skeleton photos some with great shots of the neck verts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 but really, why don't you just go to a butcher and get some cervical verts from some little quadrupedal anything and glue them suckers in there? then you could let people guess which ones weren't right by an elimination of process. get it!? GET it?! wow. i crack me so up. you know, on the other hand, the thing starts with "psittaco", which oughta be enough to bring the bird man down off a limb long enough to where you could get an x-ray of his zoanthropic self and model some necks verts after his. ausssspeeeexxxxxx! oh, AUSSSSSpeeeexxxx!!!

32fordboy Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I did the google thing, but can't seem to find any usable pics-none close enough or bad lighting. Maybe it's just me...I'll keep looking. haha elimination of process... www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32fordboy Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks for the help, guys. I also found a good pic here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pro...na-May23-08.jpg If you notice, the neck verts are pretty complete on this guy, not to mention complicated. Once again, thanks. Nick www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr-J-K Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thought I had some pics in my albums, but it appears not online. I'll have to go through and check my physical albums now... In the mean time: http://laelaps.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/psittaco2.jpg http://www.dinoart1.narod.ru/new/psittacos..._sibiricus3.jpg Combine the two, and you should have a decent idea what you'd be looking at.

32fordboy Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Tr-J-K, thanks for the links. That second one will come in mighty handy. It's similar to the one here: http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/psgallery/gallery.htm Thanks to ebrocklds for that link! Seldom, I'll try not to keep you waiting too long. Hopefully, I'll be cutting metal sometime in the next few weeks. Right now everything is in the laying out process, with the vert modelling to come soon.
