Awesome collection there !

I see some of my favorite figures referenced here, the Rex reminds me of a more realistic Diablo from Primal Rage and the new Torvo looks like the JP Allosaurus ..one of my favorite Allos.. ;D

What a nice collection! It's funny that you mention the Shapeways dinos. I have an easier time painting tiny than the big guys. I especially like the torvosaurus and bright breeding colors Rex.  :))

Thanks! The Torvosaurus does resemble the JP Allosaurus:

But, just to be clear, as I said above, this color scheme is the one Martin Garratt used for the 1/10 Monolophosaurus sculpted by Jorge Blanco:

Thank you! I guess I need more practice painting the smaller ones. My trouble is putting on a layer of paint thin enough to allow the details of the model to still show through. If I put on too much, stripping it off can be dangerous to the model, as I have already broken off several of the Shapeways T. rex teeth. I was able to repair it however, by using Apoxie Sculpt to make new teeth. Let me know if it's too apparent:

And here is a close up of Shane's 1/15 Tyrannosaurus (my favorite T. rex ever; thanks Shane!):
