Mar 24 2009Own Your Own Velociraptor Trophy Mount
Remember the life-like Dilophosaurus mount that Geekologie Reader Josh made? Well he's at it again, this time with a 1:1 scale velociraptor head!
Up for auction is a full size replica of the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park. It measures 28 inches from the nose to base of the mount. It is made of high quality poly urethane resin that has been painted and sealed. The dinosaur is mounted to a wooden base that can be mounted to a wall like a trophy animal.
Josh is selling the head on eBay. Current bidding is at $200 with 6 days remaining. Now I really hope none of you outbid me, because this thing would look perfect mounted in my trophy room. And by 'trophy room' I obviously mean bedroom. And when I say 'bedroom' I'm talking the actual bed. And by bed I mean my ass. Sexy time!
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures and another link to the auction.
Thanks Josh, now I want one with a body.

12. scurl - March 24, 2009 5:22 PM
That reminds me of the time I mounted a wookie head. The wookie was surprisingly gentle.

Life size... do your research next time. Velociraptors were scaled up in Jurassic Park. They were the size of a dog (33 lbs)

Very creative and cool, though

I'd add a subtle blinking eyelid to that, one that closes about once every 20 mins or so.
"Did I just see....? Nah...."
17. Delgo - March 24, 2009 8:42 PM

But the back end.
18. Delgo - March 24, 2009 8:43 PM
Still Chris Brown trophy mount would top all.

@14
Yeah I know how big Velociraptors really were, about 6 feet long. I made a "movie replica" of the Jurassic Park version. So the size is correct for what I made. The JP one is more close to the size of a Deinonychus or Utahraptor.

TINA TURNER
Well the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
You dont think of them as human
You dont think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
Chorus
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ILL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I'm YOUR PRIVATE DANCER
A DANCER FOR MONEY
ANY OLD MUSIC WILL DO
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You dont look at their faces
And you dont ask their names
Repeat chorus twice
Deutschmarks or dollars
American express will nicely thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Repeat chorus

It's ok, Dino Josh. Don't pay attention to the supposed know it alls. You did an awesome job! Man, if I didn't just buy a house, then I'd be all over that head.
I'm going shopping in your store now for things that I may be able to afford, now. Good day.
24. Vtx - March 25, 2009 9:25 AM
now nwo nownow! My grammar is all effed up, today. It's too early.
25. Dinosaur Josh - March 25, 2009 9:31 AM
Thanks guys!
Well I am starting out as a Paleo artist. I am going to school (almost done) for movie special effects, but I like the museum type stuff better.

What? No feathers? Those nasty raptors had feathers all over their nasty bodies ... kind of like giant carnivorous chickens from hell ... they'll rip yer guts right out and eat em before you die.
27. Momboelitist - March 25, 2009 11:26 AM
Pay attention shitheads. Josh was not trying to replicate the speculated make up of the real raptor. He was emulating the ones in Jurassic Park. RMPL, this means you @ 14. Or was 26 more of a douche bag?
My first post in 3 months and I have insult people......Which is kind of what I did before, so, OK then!
Probably could have made it with gaping mouth and bigger mounting board with front claws on either side of the head but beggars can't be choosers I guess.
Josh, you have a future!

Hey, sorry to bump this thread, but I want to know if Josh is willing to do another one? I've been looking for something like this for a long time and it is by far the most realistic thing I've seen.

I would be willing to create these if anyone would be interested? Teeth and all.
They would be commissioned based. I also create Dragon heads on plaques.
