My favorite Tyrannosaurus

I'm tired of roaring posture, I feel like lying on the ground waiting for prey to more dangerous ....... Sculpted by Shinzen Takeuchi,painted by Mushroom

Broken links.

Also, are you the same Lythronax who joined in November?

It is a beautiful model. Seems to have a very long tail, at least in that last view, which I like.

TQ, I think it is a different member with a similar username.  Welcome Lythronax01

  Awesome!

Do you have other family members as well ?

Is there another source to get these models than Shinzen himself?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Beautiful piece ! This is actually the one I wanted from the set myself..along with the juvenile animal.  Just never could find them.

I believe Shane said he could get them but as a set only ?  I asked once but never got a reply so I'm unsure.

I'd like to know as well.  I was able to get one of Shinzen's smaller kits 10 years ago from a seller who knew him and travelled to Japan often, but I don't even know if he is still in business.  His Sega TRex is purely awesome, although I would have preferred had he made the head a little larger. 

Like Araki and Tokugawa, I don't always like the way he restores some of his dinos (his resin TRexes tend to be on the chunky side), but as a sculptor is he virtually unmatched.  His 1962 Godzilla (from G. vs King Kong) resin sculpt is amazing, maybe even better than Yuji Sakai's G. sculpts.

looks cool! Snow and a puddle as a very real!

I like this guy for the same reason I love David's Dinosauria Rex...it's an old grizzled veteran. This is the King that can stalk into anyone's kill and take the lion's share. Yet here he is in a moment of peace regarding something the viewer can't see with mild interest.

In other words...a badass

Yes ! I tend to wax poetic.

Wow. Pure beauty. I agree with you, Blade. I love that old, grizzled look on a T-Rex. Not enough of those in my opinion. Plus, it adds a nostalgia factor since that's pretty much the way T-Rex was depicted in most of my childhood dinosaur books. I still don't really know which one is more scientifically accurate, but I have a soft spot for these old, seasoned veteran Rexes

How did you model the icy pond? That looks great!

Nice paint job and scenery.  lourebro

What we see above is the oldest member of the "Tyrannosaurus:Growth Curve" set.
Have you seen the chicks yet ?

[Balaur]

Wow! What a wonderful model! And welcome!

[Ultimatedinoking]

meh, its ok. I think it's head looks like a gorgonopsid, and I don't like tyrannosaurs with dermal plates.

[bigbear]

Great model! It looks as if it wants somebody to throw the stick...
