The lizard skin looks like it could belong on the T-rex. Just to stir things up, how about feathers?

It was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist prior to the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event.

I don't think a 6.8 metric ton lizard would make it off the ground, but possibly it had feathers. I'm not sure where I would put them. LOL!

I would have them cover the naughty bits.

[Dune]

You'd need quite some feathers then 

[MGebhart]

You guys are funny.

Here is the effort so far. Getting closer.

[Henry Blewer]

The skin is really looking good.

[MGebhart]

Thanks, Henry. I always appreciate your involvement.

[Dune]

Thanks for showing your progress here, Marc. It's really evolving nicely. I like these muted colors. Don't forget the quiet type!

He's looking very good now. Maybe dirty those toenails and fingernails a wee bit.

I like it ... much!

Much!

Here is another idea for skin color.

[Henry Blewer]

The head might be too red. The shading on the rest is good.

[Dune]

The head might be too red

That's because he's chasing a female!

Latest speculation by modern archeologists is that our friend T-Rex was most likely a scavenger rather than a predator.  Note the diminuative forelimbs: not much good for grabbing and holding prey.  Nor are the claws on the feet adapted for ripping flesh as those of a velociraptor are.  That being said, the red head may be appropriate for this guy - the same as a turkey vulture.

Really nice modelling that you are doing, Mark!

[Henry Blewer]

Good points. I can't imagine them turning quickly or stopping on a dime considering how big and heavy they were.
