MY GROWING COLLECTION

[J.R.S T REX]

Hey Guys and Gals, I got my family room computer hutch a bit fuller with some Rebor friends.  Thanks for looking! More to come!

They look really great all spread out, each being highlighted.  What is your plan as they multiply?

I have one more area that can accommodate some more dino figures.  My family room entertainment center has a pretty cool display area as well.  I just have not figured what to do with my speakers.  It is pictured below.

Wow! Really good looking display!

I purchased this entertainment center back in 2007 and had some other things displayed.  Never used the lighting as what I had did not warrant it.  I have to admit that I have gotten lots of favorable comments from both my office computer hutch as well as my entertainment center.  The built in overhead spot lights really make the dinosaurs pop.  The only issue I have with the top 3 shelves is that I have speakers in each one.  I am thinking about putting the flying dinosaurs on top of the speakers and will see how it looks. 

I was thinking about getting the SideShow T Rex and Stegasaurus (which is sold out but available on ebay) and putting them  on the base of the credenza underneath the hutch and the base display area measures 63 inches.  The T Rex would be on the right facing left and is 30 inches and  the Stegasaurus would be on the left facing right is 27" and I am aware that it is scarce.  I will attach another picture and would like some comments from the fellow dino collectors if you think the 2 SideShow pieces will complete this display or look weird.  Thanks!

One word of caution about putting things on top of speakers: if you watch or listen to something loud, the vibrations can knock things down. Papo's aren't delicate, but after a few falls the paint might take a hit.

I think the Sideshow statues would look great in that space, though.

Those speakers in my office do not turned up much, mainly used for my work computer.  That being said, the entertainment center in my family room has speakers that do get played loud sometimes.  Thanks for the warning as I should consider it when making some new selections for that space.

Your display looks fantastic so far!  So clean and organized!  I wish my man cave could look like that.  My home can be too chaotic and I have to protect my goodies from kids and pets. 

Again, well done!

Your display and book shelves are awesome  .

I added a few more Papo figures to my growing collection.  The Baryonyx is absolutely awesome as I am a Papo lover and the color and detail of this figure are absolutely awesome.  I would have liked a bit more realistic posing but it is crazy good to me.  I also added a few older Papo figures, the Pachyrhinosaurus, and the baby Pachycephalosaurus.  I have now purchased virtually all of the Papo and Rebor dinosaurs available and probably like Papo's Pachyrhinosaurus the least.  It just looks phony to me.  The baby Pachycephalosaurus looks great but why would they not come out with an adult first?  Seems a bit strange to me. 

I now am waiting to complete (as if we ever complete our collections) my displays with some really cool models built and painted by Martin Garratt!  The 4 that I am getting include Dan's Dinosaurs Yutyrannus, Lu Feng Shan's Coahuilaceratops, Shane Foulkes Triceratops, and Shane Foulkes Allosaurus.  Really looking forward to the big model kit build ups.  I will post pictures when I get them!  Thanks for looking!

Looking forward to seeing those buildups!
