Wow..yeah. Definitely not 1:35 ...but bigger is better right ? lol ;D

I believe the iguanodon is 1:20, from
What I've looked up. the Rex and trike are 1:35, the ichthyosaurs I have no idea what scale it is. Listed as 1:35 but it's way bigger!

I'd be interested in seeing the Allo compared to some standard scale model.  I did get the Manit Iguanodon from the same seller, listed as 1:35, and it was a pretty nice kit, lotta flash, though, and the base was well done too.  But it was huuuge:



Here  it is with the Carnegie Iggie (1:40), and I'd say  the Manit version is close to 1:20.



I will say I have fallen in love with his kits, they are very clean and well done in detail.
I do also like how his predators have their mouths closed. A Lil refreshing from the jaws agape pose that many kits have.
I did measure the allo! I was shocked to find its 13" long and 4" tall at the top of the neck.

I was hoping it would be greater than 15 inches. Well, thanks for measuring it anyway. I'd still love to see pictures of the kit!

I could add photos on here of his kits that I have. I really want to get the carnotaurus and deinonychus! The deinonychus isn't feathered but that can be fixed with some apoxie :)

13" makes that Allosaurus 32.5' long in 1/30 scale.  Close enough to add to my 1/30 collection.

I've been slowly working on getting this kit built. If its close enough in looks, I'd like to have it and Dan lorussos (I'm sure I spelled his name Wrong :/) allosaurus pursuing dan's stegosaurus or radars camarasaurus. I have yet to do a pursuing scene so I figure it would be a nice new challenge :).
