Models modified by Artists! From various social media platforms…

[Bread]

Gex_pdroche on instagram seems to never stop working either

Indeed. Dude is Prolific, and his paints are insane. No two of his works are the same.

Agreed. I also wondered if artist like him do this as a full time job now.

I've been waiting for my Tlatolophus since April 15. Stuck in Mexican customs. It's August now. 😞

Man, I can't imagine. At two weeks I was pulling my hair out!

Luckily, from what I've seen, the finished models shipping to their new home ship faster than when they first go to the artist.

I suggest anyone having an order done through any artist should ship them back through UPS. Even if it is more expensive, it is faster.

Ordered my haul of PNSO's, to be customized by dinosaur_models_artworks, through Aliexpress. They took over 3 weeks to arrive, plus at one point the tracking stopped for about a week. Well, half of haul is complete and I am having them ship through UPS, dinosaur_models_artworks recommendation, and they expect to arrive in nearly 3 days. Crazy right? But I did pay $80 for shipping

Adding another artist to the thread!

ArtzbyAnz who can be found on instagram and Facebook. Her name being Ansley McDaniel, she offers fully sculpted models which some users have posted here before, but she also offers complete repaints.

PNSO Torosaurus with juvenile:



PNSO Stegosaurus 1.0



I've shared these before, but I wanted to add Ansley to this thread as she does an amazing job. I've discussed the possibility of having her sculpt lips onto a few therapod models. I'll share those of course when complete

Seems like so many of the customs I'm seeing are PNSO-based.

What does that say about PNSO? I'm not sure it says anything bad, but it says something...

It can mean two different things. First option would be that people recognize shortcomings in the PNSO models. Second option would be that people consider the quality of the sculpting of PNSO outstanding but have a different taste about the color scheme. Esthetic taste is a highly individual thing where there is no good or bad I would say.

Really this depends on the model itself, and the shelf presence it has, for me personally.

For example, the PNSO Deinocheirus is perfect. Yet I am planning on shipping mine out to get a repaint since as it sits I get somewhat bored of it. Then again, some repaints or models I have in general I don't feel this way. Like Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus.

I will say a majority of the repaints I want or have are indeed PNSO models. They have high quality and beautiful sculpts, but their paint application and schemes lack most of the time. I feel the same with Eofauna really too.

PNSO's therapods we all know why those need modifications

[Bread]

Just received my PNSO Tyrannosaurus with lips added and a full repaint. Plus my PNSO Lythronax with the same treatment.

All made by dinosaur_models_artworks:

PNSO Tyrannosaurus, colorscheme based on Chuckwalla, a North American lizard.









Comparison with ArtbyAnz's PNSO Torosaurus repaint & Martin Garrett's Eofauna Triceratops:







PNSO Lythronax, colorscheme based on Woma Python, sadly this species of python once common throughout Western Australia is now critically endangered.







Comparison with Haolonggood's Pachyrhinosaurus green variant & CollectA's Regaliceratops repainted by Martin Garrett:





I have a few more coming from dinosaur_models_artworks, then I am finished with acquiring customs until next summer...

*Sudden realization that I still have David Krentz AMNH Tyrannosaurus coming*

[SidB]

Great work, @Bread . I really like the Lythronax in particular - almost find its expression endearing. Love the Garretized Eofauna trike too.

Thanks! I am actually most happy about the Lythronax just due to its elegant expression as well. And thank you! Martin's take on this Triceratops is amongst my favorites.

[Kei]

Beautiful acquisition indeed Bread  Loving the scheme on your Rex & Lythronax

[Over9K]

@Bread

I would love to see some more full body images of your Cameron, please. That colorway is incredible!! Can you put it on a darker background, I bet it would really POP!

[Bread]

@Over9K sure thing, but unfortunately no darker/black background. I have some of dinosaur_models_artworks photos and some of my own with comparisons:

Photos below are by dinosaur_models_artworks

I'd be shocked too if a Tyrannosaurus was right there.

[Over9K]

My Cameron has lips! Photos by Bravo Models.

[Bread]

Fantastic! I see your going with a scarred up Tyrannosaurus judging by the injured lips.

I am curious to your chosen colorscheme or will it just be original PNSO.

Yeah, we're depicting a very aged female rex, 30 years old. I stuck with the PNSO, I really like that colorway and paint app, and I wanted the focus to be the modifications, not new paint. My next custom will be full paint, tho.

Interesting!

I am eager to see the results of both customs! Please keep us updated!

Speaking of colors...

I am just addicted to base the therapods on extant reptiles now...

These aren't even the ones I am currently having used as a reference











I like this concept that dinosaur_models_artworks kind of pointed me in the direction to have as I have numerous therapod models he's doing or has done for me to choose coloration from.

[Over9K]

Her name is Summer, and she's a mean ol' bitch...





















Bravo Models has made my vision reality, better than I even imagined her! I cannot recommend his services enough!

The detailwork elevates the model so much.

[Bread]

An awesome piece! Very nicely done and I am glad to see you pleased with your custom.

[Bread]

dinosaur_models_artworks just repainted his own PNSO Tyrannosaurus again. Man, I am always amazed at his work. Even simple repaints like this resemble what could be an actual once living animal.





Also, here is a repaint of the Zhuchengtyrannus. Notice how well this sculpt pops with an improved paint job.

[Bread]

Been a bit since I've updated this thread with customs.

Here are a few WIP figures. I had a last minute haul of some, and unfortunately I am breaking my rule of "customs only in summer." Oh well

Meraxes


"Zhuchengtyrannus"


Lambeosaurus


Albertosaurus



Gorgosaurus


I'll of course post finished customs when photographed in hand or from dinosaur_models_artworks IG post.

The Lambeosaurus, Meraxes, and Albertosaurus will probably be amongst the first. Others will probably be a bit longer.
