TooOldForDinosaurs' Collection

Stunning! I especially love it next to PNSO's Triceratops.

[Halichoeres]

Wow, that Dreadnoughtus! I love the inclusion of the Talenkauen and the little pterosaur. Really drives home the enormous scale of the sauropod.

Right? I think that it was a great idea by the artist to include those in the scene.

BBC Walking With Dinosaurs plush Ophthalmosaurus from 1998. Official merch from the television series release. Original tag still on and in wonderful condition.

A piece that I have been on the lookout for for a very long time and I am super happy that it finally joined my WWD Ophthalmosauri pod.

The inscription on the tag reads:
A very common Ichthyosaur in the late Jurassic seas. It had the largest eyes of any vertebrate and these probably helped it hunt for squid at night or perhaps at great depth. Its snout was long and thin with no teeth, suitable for snapping after fast, manoeuvrable prey.

I bet he/she was mightily surprised to find so many relatives in their new home!  Seriously though, I'm glad you were able to find something you'd been looking for.

Hehe, you might be right. Thank you - I appreciate it! 

[Concavenator]

Seeing all those Ophthalmosaurus together feels soothing, in a way! 

[Halichoeres]

It has such a big mouth! I might be afraid it would eat its PVC pod-mates...

[Ikessauro]

I really does feel soothing! 

[Saarlooswolfhound]

That is a wonderful collection of Ophthalmasaurs. Congratulations on such a long sought after piece!

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

Thank you for all the nice comments! 

@Halichoeres I can assure you he/she is very friendly. Main purpose of the big mouth is to give big kisses to his/her family members 

@Saarlooswolfhound Thanks!

Two new exciting additions today. And my first personal experiences with paint commissions. I bought these two models over Dinosauria Creatures. The owner of the online 3D-printing shop usually collaborates with Javi/Javier, the artist behind the IG account @dinocomissions. After the purchase you get invited into a private discord channel to discuss all your  wishes. Everything was so smooth, they replied super fast, they were both very friendly, I got regularly updated on any progress and the shipping was surprisingly fast. Really just a grade A experience and I can highly recommend them if you're looking for custom models.

I got a Tarchia and a Zalmoxes (both models by miniature museum) of course as a tribute to PP2. As a reference for the paint scheme I chose a blue tit for the Zalmoxes and a hoopoe for the Tarchia;



Here are the beautiful results:

I find the Tarchia especially attractive.

I find the Tarchia especially attractive.

The pattern is a wonderful interpretation of the hoopoes feathering.

[SidB]

I find the supporting elements, bases, plant, wood, very effective.
 

[postsaurischian]

 Splendid! Two absolute beauties . Colours and base of Zalmoxes knock me off my feet!
 I think I have to check Dinosauria Creatures' homepage again one fine day.

[Libraraptor]

Colour patterns of birds have always been great blueprints for dinosaur depictions. Yours are no exception and really beautifully crafted! 

[TooOldForDinosaurs]

Thank you all for your comments!

New setup photos will follow soon, since I recently moved in together with my girlfriend into a flat.  Spoiler: I had to reduce the number of models on display and got a glass cabinet - it looks so much better than before!

[Halichoeres]

Those turned out great! I wouldn't have thought to translate hoopoe into ankylosaur.

[Concavenator]

Looking forward to seeing your new display. I like seeing collections in cabinets, even if that makes me more jealous! I definitely want to get one for my collection too, hopefully at some point.
