Here are two "teaser" pics of Rader Studios' Edmontosaurus.  I've had this kit for a while now, but just recently got around to deciding on a scheme and getting it started.  Still needs some detail work here and there, but this is basically what it's gonna look like:

My painted Rader Studios collection:



I still have a number of Jon's unpainted pieces, and hope to get them up eventually.

Nive work. i love the colors of the Acrocantho and the Styracosaurus!

[Jetoar]

Congratulations  ! I think the same that ataraxus. Good work with your Acro and Styraco.

[Dr. Brad]

I'm liking that colour scheme more than the scheme on the same kit I'm working on! Look forward to seeing more pics!

[radman]

Thanks!  Just to be clear, the Styracasaurus and Acrocanthosaurus were done by John Naja and Steven Demarco, respectively.  They may both be available for commissions.  The other three were done by me.

Very nice, love the design scheme on that one. Your brave to use bright red and blue! I think I have the same Camara that you have except mine is green

Thanks!  These are shapeways models done with cheap acrylic paint.  I mistakenly ordered two of the same size; one I ordered a few months ago, they were available in 1:72 and 1:50 scale.  Posing it with Dinonikes' 1:40 Faunacasts model and Krentz's 1:72 Antediluvia model, I assumed that I had bought the 1:50, as it's inbetween those two:



Anyway next time I ordered, I decided to get the 1:72 version as well; but to my surprise when it arrived it was in the same size. I realized upon reading the specs that the 1:50 version is considerably bigger. 
How big was this thing actually, i.e. which scale is correct?
Anyway, I decided to paint them differently, with chameleon-like abilities; one is the diurnal napping-near-the-surface version, the other the nocturnal hunter.

Man..seeing these just makes me want them as larger kits or even statues !

Some of these I've posted before, somewhere, but I just recently made this neat little base and thought I'd see how they look on it:
