Actually that "T" is for "Trifluorochloride", F3Cl, and yes, it does cause chemists to empty their bowels upon hearing there is some nearby. While it does not contain oxygen, it's the most potent oxidizer known to man. An "oxidizer" is anything that can oxidize another chemical, AKA "fire". Only in this case, the chemicals it can cause to burn include things like "asbestos".

The “T-rex Pimples” would be what we refer to as Osteoderms. They’re basically hardened, bony deposits that can be found on parts of an animal, where it would usually act as armour. Tyrannosaurus, from what we know, didn’t have osteoderms. However Tyrannosaurus did have keratin that ran along its nasal (Ridge along the top of the snout) where it then turned into two round-ish horns on either side of the head, which grew above the orbit (eye socket) and Postorbital (Behind the top of the eye socket.) It has had a small spike of keratin growing on the bottom of its Jugal (Cheek).

6:29 Actually, at this point it's accurate to reconstruct T. rex with or without feathers. There are fossilized skin impressions that only show scales, but they are small and from areas of the body that probably wouldn't have feathers if they were present. There is a feathered relative of Tyrannosaurus, but it lived millions of years before T. rex and on a different continent, so feathers on Tyrannosaurus rex aren't guaranteed. The main theory that people go with now is that baby T. rexes had downy feathers that they gradually lost as they aged. So Dave did shed his feathers, but not because of safety concerns.

[@riot2136]

@@galvanizedgnome inferring the level of musculature is actually a lot easier and less prone to inaccuracies than say inferring the level of feathering or scales a dinosaur had. This is because the size and strength of muscles have a direct correlation to certain features of the skeleton, that being the size and robustness of ‘muscle attachment points’. This is where certain skeletal muscles attach and brace to the bones. Using the specific parameters of such attachment points can allow you to calculate a rough estimate of the amount of force a muscle could exert when contracting, it’s how the bite force of extinct animals is estimated for example. Going back to what the op said tho, although I doubt a trex would’ve had the arm mobility or strength to rip a human completely *in half* , based on the size of various muscle attachment points and bone thickness within the shoulder and arms, their arms definitely were considerably stronger than a humans, with an individual arm most likely being able to curl a couple hundred pounds without too much trouble. I’m no expert though, so take what I’ve said with a grain of salt and if you’re interested, I’d recommend you do some research of your own into the intricacies of calculating muscle strength. Also search up a picture of ‘trex and human arm bone’ and you’ll see pics comparing the size. Although arm length is somewhat similar, trex arms are much thicker bone-wise so even without all this stuff I’ve said, you could easily assume they were pretty jacked lmao

[@peppernacl5057]

@@NorthoftheBorder The LEDs work by receiving power from an induction coil. it's quite low profile. it's just a little copper wire and a small batery pack. youd have to place the induction coil and batteries within one foot of the lights. you could easily hide it under a shelf with the sculpt on top, or build it into a base. or, at the risk of showing my age, just always sculpt a stargate around it. that would explain ,say the existance of a mech-shark. you can fairly easily make custom LEDs for the system as well. there are several tutorials you can find with a quick search. you could have a sculpture of superman that has green glowing viens when you get him too close to the kryptnite with the hidden wireless LEDS.

Masterpiece. Adam, this is 10/5 stars. i would have wanted this when i was little. you have made my dino mech dreams come true. thx.

[@disposable_income_andy]

Love this guy, reminds me a lot of the T-rex design from the 2008 Turok. Something about it seems a little zombified, though, like I expect this is what a zombified Rex would be before actually becoming a zombie. Minus the TF2 flamethrowers, but hey he can hold them and he seems happy about it, so good for him. Love these dinosaur builds a lot.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Turok... there's a name I've never heard in a long long time.

[@disposable_income_andy]

@@NorthoftheBorder It's not great and is kinda lazy but Turok 2008 has some damn good dinosaurs (and things that aren't) and even though it didn't make it to the final game, for some reason this reminds me a lot of the beta and "prototype" Rex designs. Glaze this guys eyes over with white and he's basically a zombie.

[@official_MrDoge]

Bro, this was so good I thought it was a scene from the history channel after 10:00 PM

[@drakothedragon]

Great! Excited for the follow up video where you replace the flamethrowers you made here with fully-functioning miniature flamethrowers.

[@kevinfuentes3961]

Love this Man's talent and wit. He absolutely makes my day with every perfect sculpture. I watch with my 6 yr old and he loves all you vids as well.

[@GCKMimi]

Adam, I can't tell you how much joy I get when you make and use the negative texture rollers. I am all in favor of taking time now to save time later and it's just so satisfying to watch

[@nathensinkaienbbss7350]

This is by far one of my favorite projects done by Adam👍

[@NOTdweebs]

The way you create the flames is always so interesting to watch

[@SilentDragonite149]

As a Hunter, a t-rex with flamethrowers literally screams “Anjanath” to me. (Although with Anjanath, it’s nose is the flamethrower…) Speaking of, it’d be cool to see figures of Rathian and Rathalos (particularly Razewing Ratha) in the future.

[@ashleya3236]

When I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was "ah, so a real-life anja." The earlier BotW guardian sculpts put me in mind of our favorite pickle(deviljho)'s laser beam, too.

[@wasted1390]

Ah, a fellow hunter.

[@RagingBrachy]

This stuff is a arch-tempered anjanath

[@Choujifangirl]

That’s exactly what I thought, its the alternative version of a Anja

[@jacobb.]

You make everything look fun and easy. I bought some clay and tools and started screaming 2.47 minutes after beginning. I bought a book for assistance. Nice video and I hate you in the most loving way possible. Cheers.

the Final Result is surprisingly nice! Fantastic job!

[@990099909]

Hey Adam! Your channel (can't get enough of it!) has made me want to get into sculpting. Can you explain the different clays and their pros and cons? Thanks!

[@stoneraptor6219]

Imagine the title of this video without the context that this is an art crafting channel. The outcome is both amazing and terrifying

[@rebecca235]

You make amazing clay sculptures please make some more Minecraft themed ones

[@WhiteAndBlack82]

Literally anything that includes a T-rex and moder or any technology in any way is super hilarious to me

[@thatguy-jb6wi]

I love how this is probably one of the deadliest things you wouldn't want to meet irl and his name is Dave. Reminds me of the octapus from penguins of Madagascar

[@Serenity_Dee]

T. Rexes did have thumbs! One of the two digits was a thumb, the other was a finger. But they couldn't really rotate their wrists and they had very little gripping power; paleontologists, last I knew, were still just blindly guessing at what, if anything, those tiny arms were used for.

[@midnightshadowz12]

absolutely fantastic. I am not even half way in and I have already learned a lot of new tricks and techniques. splendid

[@kaytiej8311]

Such dedication to your task. The details leave me speechless.

This is one of my favourite things ever! The awasomeness!😍 I love the flames. So simple yet so very effective. The sculpt as always is mind blowing.

[@morgansinclair6318]

Dave definitely looks like something Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes fame would dream up, love it!

[@LegendOfKitty]

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. I'm excited to see what you've got for us next!

[@theangrysuchomimus5163]

As a paleo enjoyer I don’t remember reading anything about T-rex pimples. I do know that carnotaurus had similar scutes randomly dispersed across it’s body but it was only distantly related to T-rex and T-rex scales likely evolved from feathers, similarly to the scales on a bird’s leg. However even though the pimples might not be accurate, it looks good on the sculpture

[@sketchygato7847]

I’m curious how many of these scale texture rolls you make? Do you ever reuse old ones?

[@nerdypaleodoc]

Paleontologist here, the 'pimples' may or may not be accurate, but you are likely correct in reconstructing T. rex without feathers. Animals that reach very large body size tend to generate internal heat when they move (Gigantothermy), and T. rex would certainly fit the bill for generating excess heat while moving. Feathers are really good at keeping that heat in, and so a feathered T. rex would likely overheat very quickly. So babies probably had a downy coat to keep them warm, but it is more likely that the feathers were lost by the time they reached adulthood.

[@leahmmckee]

The fire looks soooo cool and realistic!!!

[@SH-sq6pz]

I love it, this is probably the best thing you’ve made.

[@emerybrandt2211]

Congrats on your 2nd year!!! Coming up with a new tiny nerdy thing every week is no small feat but you’ve done it none-the-less. Thank you for the dedication! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@tuarihawkins-hakiwai1312]

Ah that's why scientists say the Tyrannosaurus rex doesn't have feathers anymore

[@Zilxari]

Love the fire-floss, you could say they look pretty sweet 🔥

[@KitD2365]

This thing is fabulous. Your sculpting is amazing as always but I'm super impressed by how cool the flames look.

[@MrIHasHeadphones]

As a fellow Dave, I've gotta day you did an excellent job. Any chance we can get a triceratops with chainsaws?

[@N_Drogyny]

Massive Calvin energy, just replace the flamethrowers with F-14s.

[@HoloGraphicDraws]

Anyone else remember 'Kameo, Elements of power' the Xbox 360 game, if so you probably also remember the Cannon T-Rexes that you wished you could keep but disappeared whenever you entered a new land. This reminds me of those.

[@seanwoolley2006]

This one is one of my absolute favourites. id happily have this in my display case. Maybe if you ever want to set the scene you can make a herbivore like stegosaurus with a water jet on its back to fight the fire of the carnivore

[@Taracinablue]

Epic and fun! I'm so impressed the "foil cotton wad monstrosity" became huge spurts of flame!

[@chonkygoose1818]

imagine the video actually being about him genetically creating a dinosaur and then teaching it how to become an arsonist by giving it a badass flamethrower.
