Ankylosaur week is here so what great timing to feature an ankylosaur, or nodosaur to be accurate - the excellent PNSO Borealopelta!
Now I’ve reviewed this figure before. But that was as is. What we have is a model repainted by a master artist - Raúl Pedroche, better known on social media as Gex.
Gex is not just a master painter, but also does conversion of existing models to create models the way he wants them. The PNSO sculpt is satisfying enough so there was no need for that, but I wanted those spikes I saw in the release images back! And I think I have. Not just that, but also a more real, granular look caused by restoration of detail in the osteoderms, the flank and skirting spikes of scutes, and even the underbelly receives some colour and gunk.
Gex can be contacted best via Instagram at “gex_pdroche”.
There you can see the projects he has completed as well as what he is currently working on. No spoilers intended, but you MUST check out his Ceratopsians conversions! He can also be found on Facebook by searching for “Gex P Droche”
