Paleochris's collection

[postsaurischian]

I ordered me the 1:25 version of the resting Cryolophosaurus, but it's getting a different coloration.

Really? I'd only seen this color in the studio's original shade, what's the color of yours?

 Mine was an unpainted kit version which I sent to Martin Garratt. It's now basically brown with a colourful tail.
 I will get it on Monday. Can't wait to take pictures .

I find it's not solely the cost that limits my resin buying. As much as anything it's the lack of appropriate display space!

You're collection makes me so tempted to go for the resin pieces more, I've just now acquired one and I don't think I could afford to go into your route of collecting!  It is quite amazing!

[Halichoeres]

The Eomaia/Confuciusornis is the one that catches my eye most, too! Is that life-size, or maybe even a bit larger?

It's a 1/1 scale, life size diorama !
The whole diorama size is 40 x 50 cm.

I show you the second color scheme and the size vs hand :

 I don't say this very often .... but I'm envy. The Confuciusornis is just ... AWESOME!!

 Is it still available?

No sold out... there are only 45 copies but you can (hopefully) find a second-hand one in China.

Thank you! The level of detail made it look even larger than it is, extraordinary!

Tupandactylus
M.See Studio
Scale: 1/6
This model comes in two color schemes, but this one is my favorite.

The most beautiful pterosaur ever made?

I love pterosaurs but they are rarely sculpted.
Also, every release is a small event and I try to get every model (but they are very rare and expensive...). Msee studio, probably one of the best manufacturers of resin dinosaur statues, made this superb Tupandactylus over a year ago. So far, it's my best pterosaur piece (in fact, of my entire collection), but Msee will soon be releasing new models of extraordinary pterosaurs! In more accessible versions, it would be interesting for PNSO to do so too

Very nice indeed. Have you ordered their Dreadnoughtus schrani? I am thinking of this one actually.

[paleochris]

yes I pre-ordered it, it will arrive very soon, this model seems to be finished on their side. A lot of people were curious to see how Msee was able to make this in a small series, as the model is extremely detailed (especially the base).

Beelzebufo vs Masiakasaurus
Scale : 1/5
Artist : SenSen

This is a scene from the famous 2022 BBC documentary "Prehistoric planet », in which a huge frog attacks a small dinosaur.
Beelzebufo is the largest frog ever discovered, measuring over 40 cm and weighing 4 kg! Given its size, it could well have attacked reptiles, birds, small mammals and juvenile dinosaurs such as Masiakasaurus, a very small dinosaur. This scene could therefore have occurred in Madagascar during the Cretaceous period between 72 and 66 Mya

The scene is very dynamic and, as always with Sensen, the quality is very good.
I find, however, that the tongue isn't painted very well, with only pink and no nuances. A little paint touch-up to give it a more viscous and realistic look will therefore be necessary.

Msée Quetzalcoatlus

I've been looking for this piece for 3 years. I had offers at ridiculous prices ($1,000) but finally, one day, an English collector sold me his for the same initial sale price ($300).

It's not in perfect condition - the wooden base is missing and 2 small repairs will be necessary - but I'm so happy to finally have it!

Scale: 1/15th
Limited edition: 100 copies

Rajasaurus Hunting Isisaurus Scene
Studio : Midnight Ink
Painted by Kino

And here's a new species of abelisorid! I'm very pleased with this addition, as it's a species that hardly exists in miniature/sculpture, unlike Carnotaurus for example. It's a fine addition to the collection, and I thank Xinyou Xu!

Rajasaurus narmadensis
70-66 MA
INDIA

[Stegotyranno420]

You cannot go wrong with the Rajasaurus 
But those lizards in the Queztalcoatlus statue.
What are they, they probably are near man sized if this represents the larger species

It's true that Chinese artists are usually very rigorous, naming each animal on the sculpture and/or assembling the species without error. Having said that, I think it's just a bit of artistic freedom, after all, maybe some big varans were present?

 This was once discussed in RobinGoodfellow's collection thread. I think the lizards were meant to be Palaeosaniwa.

Well ! You teach me something really cool! I can put a name to these lizards, so great!

Dakotaraptor VS Pachycephalosaurus
Manufacturer: M.See Studio
Scale: 1/10
2020
N°40/100

One of my favorites pieces. I'm really happy to have it. This scene is incredible, a lot of dynamism, and this raptor is very beautiful! we feel the terror of the Pachycephalosaurus !

[ceratopsian]

Amazing work on the Dakotaraptor.  The colours are stunning.
