My name is Galileo Hernandez Nunez. For the last 8 years I have been sculting dinosaurs for living, this is a job that started very early in my life. at the age of 5 I've sculpted my first dino, atfer learning about them in a little book I still have. I have sculpted dinosaurs in all shapes and sevral sizes. I have worked for some toy companies and private collectors.
You can find more about me and my Dinosaurs at geenemodels.com or when you have the time I have a thread full of my work here
Sculpting a life size dinosaur has been a dream my entire life. I really can't wait to have this big guy in front of me and feel how powerful and impresive this animals were. This will be a great step in my career for sure , something that will increase the potential of my portfolio in 100% or more. This may get me the chance to travel to Museums al over the world to take note of the newest findins in the paleontology. Here in Mexico We have very few information and just a couple of Skeletons, One of the goals in my life is to chaneg that, Theres nothing better than a kid who loves dinosaurs, because in my opinion dinosaurs are their firts steps into science.
In this times of computer generated sculptures and with the new technologies in 3D printing aproaching more and more every day, this life size T rex head would probably be one of my last traditional Sculptures, one needs to go beyond and learn more everyday, there's always something new to learn I don't wanna let it go, I wanna remember it as one of my geratest achivemetes created with my own hands.
I appreciate your time and hopefully your support which would be vital.
All the best.
Galileo
What We Need & What You Get
I would need about $15000 usd which would cover the Reasearch, Sculpting and all the materials to produce everything concerning to the project. I am also planning to get a new computer since the one I have don't really allows me to work properly. I need a big screen to see several reference images at the same time and I don't like to keep printing and wasting all that paper. Also the speed on the new machines allows you to do several taskas at the same time.
I have a lot of great stuff that I would like to offer you as perks, as I have told you before I have sculpted dinos in all shapes and sizes. so theres a lot of where to pick. I have T rex heads in scales from 1:48 to 1:5 the first one about 1.5 inch long and the other one about 2 feet in lenght.
In the case I not able to reach the goal, I'll be using the founds to improve my skills in 3D sculpting which is a really exciting field of study, getting a new computer and the software.
Finally I wanted to express the excitement I have about this project, It really gives me the feeling of better things to come, I have so much to learn, so much to experience, so much to look for, " so much beauty " ;) that somethimes I feel like I can't take it all.
See you soon celebratiing the culmination of this awesome project.
You can alos help me a lot by spreadiing the word. I'd really appreciate it, and If theres somethign I can do for you, just let me know.
The best Wishes
