CCC (Continuous Caveman Coverage) Tabletop Stegosaurus for Cave Ornithologist (and other CCC interviews):
The tabletop stegosaurus was the centerpiece of the table we used for our CCC interviews:
Our CCC (Continuous Caveman Coverage) Tabletop Stegosaurus from the Original Production:
Made from foam board cut with an X-ACTO knife (#2 blade).
Two small paper cups filled with sand were glued behind the feet to hold it up.
Everything was then paper mached using torn pieces of white wrapping paper (50 lb weight, usually used for packing) and flour paste (flour and water, the consistency of paste). If you use whole wheat flour you'll get a textured look.
Then the entire thing was gessoed and painted with tempera. The black letters and outline were drawn with a Sharpie. (Notice that its yellow spine ridge and yellow tail spike are both accented with the letter C.)
It was then sprayed entirely with Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating. This coating helps keep the colors from melting under sweaty hands and the occasional damp wipe for cleaning purposes.
