![]() For the extra wiggle of silicone, though. It's not a huge problem, just keep in mind that pillow stuffing fibers, loose bristles from paint brushes, and bits of hair will inevitably be found stuck to your headpiece. Silicone is prone to building up a static charge. The weight varies because I can't always use the exact same amount of silicone, stuffing, and expanding foam. These lekku average between 1.4 and 1.7 pounds. I reinforce the top curves with a soft expanding foam which preserves the shape of the curve and holds the pillow stuffing in place. The lekku are filled with pillow stuffing. Cut a smooth, even line and it shouldn't be a problem! If you leave a jagged edge, that point can begin to tear. ![]() When trimming away excess silicone around the head opening, make sure to cut a straight line with your scissors. Silicone is prone to tearing under some conditions, however, so you must be careful not to create a weakened point where a rip might get started. My oldest silicone headpiece is nine years old, and it is still in perfect shape. Unlike latex which can crack after a while, silicone lasts a long time. Silicone lekku are really, really wiggly! These longer lekku are very flexible and will sway considerably as you move. ![]() They stretch a couple inches longer to approximately 29 inches when they're stuffed, and may get a little bit longer when worn since the silicone can stretch a bit under its own weight. ![]() These lekku are 27 inches in length when cast. Silicone headpieces are only made in one size because silicone will stretch to fit. Please read the tutorial for painting silicone in the Tutorials section of my store if you want to add spots, tattoos, or change the color of your lekku! Unlike latex headpieces, you can't paint silicone with the same body paint that you use on yourself. Silicone is more challenging to paint than other materials. If you are going to use multiple head wraps for your Twi'lek costumes, it helps to have an extra pair of ear cones for each wrap! Male Twi'leks have human style ears, so I do not include ear cones with male headpieces. If you wish to order extra pairs of ear cones, you can find them in the Twi'lek Accessories section of my store. ![]() Please be patient, and know that I'm always casting and shipping as fast as I can!Įach female headpiece comes with one pair of ear cones. The final shipping time will depend on how many orders I have in my work queue, and how complicated the designs are. I cannot guarantee a perfect match, but I will always try to get the colors as close as I can!Įvery lekku headpiece is made to order, and will be cast, stuffed, and shipped as quickly as possible. I do my best to match the silicone to each body paint color as closely as possible. A cake of paint is NOT included with each headpiece. I included a paint cake in each picture to show that the lekku were made to match that color, and to help people see which brand/color of paint to buy if they want to match the color of the lekku. Please Note: I do not sell Graftobian Pro Paint body paint. These are the color samples that I have so far: Like most water based paints, Graftobian Pro Paint paint tends to rub off during wear, so a body paint sealant should be used to help the application last longer. Graftobian Pro Paint is a water based body paint that comes in a dry compact that is ideal for sponge or brush application. They are made to match the Graftobian Pro Paint brand of body paint. This listing is for pre-colored silicone headpieces in the medium length. ![]()

![]() Though not all palaeontologists were convinced, the evidence in this paper was enough for us to rethink our design for this animal. This was in contrast to the giant tyrannosauroid Yutyrannus, described in 2012, which preserved only feathers. These impressions came from multiple areas of the body (see graphic), all of which showed very small reticulate scales. The paper had some fairly convincing evidence most notably, the paper offered published skin impressions of Tyrannosaurus rex for the first time. presented evidence against the theory that all tyrannosauroids were feathered, a notion that us and many others had followed. In 2017, Phil Bell & colleagues published a study on the skin covering of Tyrannosaurus rex. The first difference that many will notice about our new T. rex musculature, they are listed at the end of this page alongside those used in this blog post. If you are interested in the literature cited during the creation of our T. We pushed the muscular thickness about as far as we reasonably could given the data we have. One caveat to consider is that no one knows exactly what these arms were used for, or whether they may have been very atrophied in life. Above you can see Scott Hartman’s feedback about the thickness of the arms before toning it down. It was RJ’s first instinct as well to give this fella beefy arms. Muscles were drawn, redrawn, and sometimes redrawn again-all under the guidance of Scott Hartman, who we believe to be the leading expert in the field of muscular restoration for dinosaurs.ĭuring the the course of this project we have received some criticism for the thickness of the arms. Countless hours were spent by RJ in an effort to read, understand, and implement numerous papers’ information. We believe this to be the most in-depth anatomical recreation of this animal. “We believe that community involvement is important, and plan to encourage feedback on in-game performance and gameplay features via our Steam forums and official Saurian Discord server.A major goal of this project was to reconstruct every muscle.

![]() ![]() The additional moves that were cut tell an even more exciting story. This explains why what we end up seeing makes little sense to people who know the rules of chess. It is fortunate that the actual endgame itself was, in fact, well constructed even though several key moves were cut from the final version of the movie. Perhaps, like me, you repeatedly watched the scene and found that the whole last movement of the chess pieces made absolutely no sense. Why did Ron need to sacrifice himself when it seems that Harry could have moved in an apparent checkmate instead? If the Queen had just taken out Ron on the edge of the chessboard, why wasn't she able to prevent the checkmate in the middle of the board? Confused? Of course you are, and you are not the only one. After Ron's sacrifice, Harry reminds Hermione not to move until Harry, as the Black Bishop, moves into a position to checkmate the White King, as per Ron's game plan.Īfter watching the action-packed scene again, I noticed that something didn't quite add up. We find that in the last moves, Ron, as a Knight, has manoeuvred himself to the edge of the board as a forced sacrifice to the White Queen, since he has checked the White King. Many chess pieces are smashed into bits when they are overtaken by the opponent pieces. In order for our heroes to pass, they have to play deadly moves as Harry, Ron, and Hermione are part of the Black pieces as a Bishop, Knight, and Castle (Rook). Recall from the movie, Harry, Ron, and Hermione play their way across a chessboard to pass the White players in a giant-scaled and dangerous game of Wizard Chess. This is because vital information was cut from the final version of the movie. If you are familiar with the rules of chess, however, the movie scene doesn't make sense. ![]() ![]() It was exciting and very dramatic, especially the scene of the chess game where Ron sacrificed himself so Harry could checkmate the White King.

The problem….by the time the discomfort from “after” was starting to go away, he was back to having 4-6L of ascites built up again. It just felt to him like he wasn’t), or the discomfort and cramps for 2-3 days after as everything was moving back to their regular positions.
