Dinosaur Thomas

Blackbird Jr had his heart set on Dinosaur Thomas (and a rocketship) for holidays this year, those were the only things he asked for. Unfortunately the set containing the fossil car has been retired and we weren't sure if it would get here in time if we ordered it online anyway. Polymer clay to the rescue!

Original fossil car:

I almost burnt the holy hell out of it after not realizing my toaster oven was set 100 degrees too high (I haven't used it in ages) but the black darkness at the edges adds character.
