I hope so. 

One of my young Rexes wasn't out a month before a kid tried sitting on it and broke it's ankle and hip.  I just did repairs last night so hopefully it lasts now.  I also added a fence around them and and the baby trikes, saw pics posted of kids sitting on them..ugh.

Ouch - but of course.  Similar problems with the Crystal Palace dinos too.  I don't blame young children - but I do blame their parents!

Working on my Dolichorynchops.. I'm finding conflicting images. Does anyone know if the teeth interlock outside the mouth or are they inside like an icthyosaur?

Thank you! Hopefully someone makes another nicer one than what's currently available. I could have used a slightly larger reference.

Had some issues recently with all this winter weather for the holidays, big tree came down and took out a fence and crushed our Carnotaurus's tail. We got it cut it off of it yesterday just gotta wait til it warms up to see if I can fix it. Currently propped up with some sticks.

Aves Apoxie Sculpt brand, I've heard there are some better ones since picking it up but I've not have time to try them.

Cool thanks! Never worked with self hardening clay but it's definitely on the To-Do list.

Start small, use a little at a time. I had a friend help me on the Pachyrhinosaurus..I went off to meet someone she mixed an entire 4lb tub. When I got back it was rock hard. If you need any help feel free to PM me.

avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon I appreciate the tip and your offer a lot! I thought about starting with a figure customization.  Don't know what and when though haha. Had planned on customizing the PAPO Theri but since PNSOs release that matter has resolved itself  ;D

Yeah that happens. Just when your ready to make something yourself someone else does it lol

If your new to it, I would get a few 1.00 dino figures from walmart and experiment on, add feathers to their trex, new teeth on them, ect..
