Hi from 'strailya!

Hi all!!

I'm from Australia. I have a fairly large collection of dino figures of various types, makes and varying quality. I'll take anything into my plastic dinosaur sanctuary that meets (fairly relaxed...) quality and display requirements and needs some love and rehabilitation.
I guess I'm re-living my childhood when I had a lot of chinasaur type figures, I frequent opportunity shops, markets, garage sales etc looking for cheesy retro plastic/vinyl dinosaurs and also collect newer/more accurate stuff.
If it's in a musty old box in a shop and is halfway reasonable quality and needs some love I'll rescue it.
My current collecting started with a play-worn Safari Carnegie Apatosaurus I scored from  a secondhand shop for $4 AU (bargain!) I guess my fave at the moment though in my beloved Tsukuda Hobby Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus (Barry).  And an EPS bead filled soft rubber crocodile with a missing back leg I rescued from a horrible musty, rubbish filled box called Limpy.
I allow insects and various other interesting creatures into the sanctuary but have tightened the character test recently as space for display is becoming a problem.
I do mods to surplus chinasaurs and dioramas sometimes for a laugh (create injured/dead victims and meat and bone chewing, bloodied perps etc) some of those old vintage chinasaur faces are priceless.
That's basically it!
Cheers! :-)
