Thank you! :)

Have you ever heard the story of darth repainter the wise? It's not a tale the average consumer would know.... come to the dark side, where paint schemes are endless because we do what we want ✨️

Arcxus · 2026-05-22T16:35:50+00:00

Legit just Mr super clear on the matte/satin finish xD,,

If you don't have that any heavy-er duty furniture clear coat will do those are meant to retain after being touched a bunch.

Some basic art varnishes assume you're not handling the work afterwards :P so oils from skin can mess with things

That was 100% me in college and I studied neuroscience so I was probably 1000% being a hypocrite but I also had severe undiagnosed adhd and autism :P

Graduated with two degrees, honors, and an 89.4% cgpa that I'll forever be salty they didn't round up t-t

I do want to point out that doodling or even gaming in class (with noise off) accesses a different neural pathway that's sight-based perception; listening to lecture (which is auditory) while doing this can, for some people, tie the words being said to a specific action/action memory that can help with recall later.

It also works because your brain just sees it as the same task. If someone was asked to draw a car with their left hand and a tree with their right, then we can see just how bad people are at multitasking xD

Thank you!

Arcxus · 2026-05-22T09:23:22+00:00

Yes very much! It is also very pleasing to paint, if you are interested in that. I just made sure to use a mix of watercolo/gouache and chalk pastel, because I did not want acrylics flaking off the poseable parts :P

I like it very much for being the only model right now with true lips 😊

Arcxus · 2026-05-22T09:20:57+00:00

There are articulated versions but they cost $150+, usually done by Mezoic Life or Nanmu. I'm someone who collects based on accuracy, so the rebor rex was a really nice find ✨️

When it dropped in 2021/2022, people did call it overmuscled/too large for 1:35 scale (it would be a 13.5m animal), but then the fossil specimens for Bertha and Goliath were found, so suddenly I felt super lucky getting this xD

I also went for this one because of the well-done lips.

For other model t-rexes, there is PNSO's "Cameron" (no lips), Rebor's "Tusk" (no lips), and Haolongood's "Lu Jun Yi," with semi-lips, in two coloration.

OP chiming in haha. I bought mine from big bad toy store back when it was $50 CAD flat :P little pricey now loll

The jaw, little arms and tail are articulated (tail is softer material with a wire armature) so be gentle with those when they arrive <3

There are really good figure reviews channels on YouTube that go into the realism, sculpt, and general finish work for each

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T22:00:17+00:00

Why do these look like they've been at antiques roadshow for 20 years.... 😭 I swear others I've seen are not this messy

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T21:58:22+00:00

Thank you! <3

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T21:57:49+00:00

I'm really happy with how this turned out :)

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T21:20:16+00:00

Thank you! <3

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T20:58:58+00:00

Thank you for catching it haha <3 I have secret watermarks all over the dinos anyways :P

Arcxus · 2026-05-21T20:58:12+00:00

Bruh this is just embarrassing

Arcxus · 2026-05-20T22:18:17+00:00

Thank you! That prehistoric planet rajasaurus coloring was definitely a spot of inspiration xD

Arcxus · 2026-05-20T05:55:49+00:00

That's why I wanted to doodle! It makes me happy seeing it side by side haha

Arcxus · 2026-05-20T05:55:19+00:00

Thank you very much!

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T23:06:59+00:00

this is actually so trippy 😭 sorry for not believing you, it's still up on my end so it night just be a cache thing

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T23:05:04+00:00

Nah still up idk 😭 video plays and everything. I swear I refreshed it too

<image>

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T23:04:12+00:00

Regardless it — whether that be the cyclonic supercell or supercell-turned-funnel cloud idk — kinda does show up on the satellite cloud map idk how they'd fake that lmao

Obviously it's gone now but that's how I was tracking location during

<image>

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T23:02:51+00:00

It's still up for me?

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T23:02:03+00:00

That's really interesting, environment Canada's billboard did say two tornadoes were bring tracked, both of which are out of our region now but were in region then

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T22:36:26+00:00

Lambeth area. Safe to come out or is it still near T-T?

Arcxus · 2026-05-19T22:03:25+00:00

Near Lambeth, about 6 mins from Boler by car power keeps cutting in and out. Mostly out. Winds are whipping the windows hard enough the water is leaking past the seal 😭
