Sim's prehistoric zoo

[Sim]

Finally it's time for a thread for my figures...  I intend to do an entry for each figure in my collection and this post will contain links to each.  But for now I will only post informal photos of some of my figures.

Kaiyodo Sinosauropteryx with its friend and possibly relative the ToyMonster Compsognathus.

@Faelrin, @Elengassen, @ceratopsian, there's my Sinosauropteryx that Martin Garratt repainted.

[Sim]

An interesting fact I'd like to add is that Sinosauropteryx and Compsognathus have both been found to have consumed fast lizards, suggesting that these animals were fast predators and I also find it interesting they consumed the same kind of prey.  Are they related or not, it's not clear right now.  Also possibly related to them is the much larger Sinocalliopteryx, which consumed much larger prey too.  It would be great to have a figure of Sinocalliopteryx too..

[Faelrin]

Oh wow didn't know those two were nearly the same size. Great results too, but he's always been a fantastic painter.

[ceratopsian]

It looks good in its new coat.

I remember I was had a painting of Sinocalliopteryx as my screen background. You're right, a model would be welcome.

Nice, so you finally created a thread for your collection! Will you be showing your collection setup too?

[Halichoeres]

Nice repaint! I have the PNSO Sinosauropteryx because of the coloration, but I've always liked Kaiyodo's lithe, delicate sculpt better.

[Sim]

Nice, so you finally created a thread for your collection! Will you be showing your collection setup too?

Thanks!  I actually don't have space for my collection to be displayed, so I have it all spread among different boxes.  I'm fine with that though, it stops them getting dusty!

PNSO Tarbosaurus and Zhuchengtyrannus. They tolerate each other and didn't feel like looking at the camera for this photo 
@SRF this is my PNSO Tarbosaurus. The light patches on its snout are less bright than the previous one I had.
L @Leyster this is my PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus!

[Halichoeres]

Does your Zhuchengtyrannus still stand stably?

[Concavenator]

Will you be getting the Boundless World Tarbo?

[Sim]

My Compsognathus has a new friend!

Now I just need a Rhamphorhynchus and Scaphognathus and I'll have all the species I want from their ecosystem.

Does your Zhuchengtyrannus still stand stably?

I could only test it on my bed due to a lack of suitable surfaces in my accommodation, and it stayed standing after many attempts.

Will you be getting the Boundless World Tarbo?

I plan to! It looks excellent and I hope it will be released soon. I'm not sure I'll part with PNSO's though, I still like it a lot.

[Sim]

Some herbivorous theropods!  They get along!



In the photo the Gallimimus is standing without a base and without anything stopping it falling over. Its tail tip is touching the surface it's standing on though. I managed to get it standing on just its feet but it soon fell over. Anyway I'm very pleased with this Gallimimus!

[Halichoeres]

I imagine they would have gotten along! A good spread of morphology for niche partitioning.

[Concavenator]

I managed to get it standing on just its feet but it soon fell over.

In order to fix that, I'd recommend placing a coin under one of its feet. It's always worked for me.

[Spinokaprogorgon]

I use paper. I fold It, and if it's not enough I'll fold it again. I keep going until the figure remains completely stable
