brontodocus' collection

[brontodocus]

The post above reminds me of the "Dino toy weight competition" thread somewhere in the labyrinth of V.1 ;-)
I WILL go fot Papo Brachiosaurus, that´s for sure, because I really like it. Maybe Santa Claus loves me?!

Hey Stefan, actually I already thought about asking if you'd like to relaunch that thread over here! For those who don't know it: Here it is!

[brontodocus]

Aaaah, yes... Finally.




I bought it a month ago but didn't find the time to take outside photographs until today.

I really love that second shot, just replace the businessman with a fleeing Ornitholestes and it'd have my vote in the next diorama contest!

[Seijun]

I think what the second shot needs is the guy holding a leash going up to a cute little dog collar on the apatos neck.

Thanks, Zopteryx and Seijun!

When I took the photos I didn't notice the spider webs, though... I had to climb a few metres up a rock wall (no, not a fully vertical one, thankfully) near my home to make the photos - with that thing in one hand. Not easy to find a suitable place at the moment, normally we have beech forests everywhere and of course these are covered with fallen leaves which wouldn't look good.
Oh - and the businessman, that's actually the German national football team's goalkeeper's coach, Andreas Köpke.

Yes, but can he hold it? "No, he won't bite you. He just wants to step on you..."

    Paramount!
I do not covet you the awesome Apatosaurus (since I already have it), but your ability to take these pics. I do not dare to move the wonderful thing from where it is now .

Amazing photographs friend. Sideshow dinosaurs are wonderful  .

Thanks Helge & Jetoar!

I fully understand that! I was really afraid I'd break something - one wrong step could have been enough. But I'm glad I took the model outside, nonetheless, there's not enough free space available at home to photograph it in front of an appropriate background. And currently we have just a few November days that are not rainy, which is rather unusual.

Huh, I've been a little inactive here, recently...
And I almost forgot to post this one, I received it shortly before Christmas:


Favorite Soft Model Tarbosaurus bataar from the exhibition "The Gobi: Cradle of the Most Enchanting Dinosaur Fossils", Osaka, Japan, designed by Hirokazu Tokugawa.

Many, many thanks again to Helge (postsaurischian)!

that is such a beautiful Tarbosaurus figure. i hope to get one too someday.

[Jetoar]

Very beatuful half feathered Tabosasurus  .

[Libraraptor]

All the huge theropods get manes nowadays. Can´t decide if I love or hate that. Nice figure, anyway!

I'm the same way. I appreciate the attempt to feather the animal but I feel like if you're going to give it feathers just go all out and do it.

  He, he ... what a lovely Tarbosaurus.

                     ..... Damn! Yours seems to stand better than mine !

Thanks, all!

Not perfect, but about as good as my old Favorite Soft Model Tyrannosaurus. Standing was already possible directly out of the package but a little hot water helped, too.
