Hi everybody!

I would just like to know if someone already bought this sculpts/models:
https://www.facebook.com/Fomisaurus-324200197603562/about/?entry_point=page_nav_about_item&tab=overview

I found them while looking at Luis Rey old posts:
https://luisvrey.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/and-then-mexico-once-again/

Apparently, they´re most made of foam and the sculptor lives in Mexico, but there is a lack of other informations in the Facebook page that bothers me (What is the material from which the skin is made? What is the price of each figure? Payment Methods? Does he send to other countries?).

Does anyone know the answers to the questions above?

There are some good looking models in the Facebook page.

Very interesting find Thylacosmilus! I wonder if the creator will consider making this into a line and sell them... They look very good!

[Nanuqsaurus]

There are some very beautiful dinosaurs on that Facebook page! Looks like this sculptor loves feathers, he even has feathered Lesothosaurus and Heterodontosaurus!

Seems like epoxy resin to me.

[terrorchicken]

those are fantastic!
heh, he has a quetzalcoatlus and a Quetzalcoatl figure.

I live in México.
I have just asked your doubs to the seller, so please wait for the response.

These look grand! The paint jobs and use of feathers are superb. Wonderful species diversity too.

[Halichoeres]

These are pretty cool. I recognize a lot of animals found in Mexican deposits.

Thanks for helping me, Megalosaurus!

Hi.
Theres no internacional shipping available.
The cost depends of the size of the model as follows:

Use a converter from cm to inches and from mexican pesos (MXN) to your currency.

Sorry to say that there isn't a easy way to do this. You have to browse each album and you'll find the scale of each model in the picture description, then do the calculations. Its easier to say which models do you like and then ask how much will it be.

If you want me to help you with the shipping, you'll be paying shipping to my house and the to yours, which can be pretty expensive if the package is big. But I'll do it if you want to continue, no proffit for me.

shipping was the barrier I ran into a few years ago when he first started out.  I may hit you up for some help Megalosaurus around November if my finances get back on track.  Thanks for the offer!

[Thylacosmilus]

Thanks for the answer and the offer, Megalosaurus. I spent a lot this year with David Silva Project (and probably  i will have to pay the same value in taxes when i get the figures) and the floating exchange rate starts to become  unfavorable, but I will try to save up money until october/november before I bother you again.

Those models on his Facebook page are very impressive.
Luis says "This man has invented a new kind of dinosaur model with a plastic foam technique and a wire skeleton. Accurate, visually stunning dinosaur recreations worth of the most prized model and paleoart collection! On top of that: they are posable! Yes, you can change posture, move neck, limbs and the lot without any hinges." and "Believe me, you have never seen or FELT any dino model like them: they are actually soft and lightweight!"

I am thinking it may be a Silicone Foam could also be Latex Foam but I would be afraid of that breaking down over time.

[tyrantqueen]

^ Latex or foam would make sense if they were poseable.  I have to admit I'm tempted, models like that would have unlimited potential for dioramas and such. I've always wanted to own a stop motion puppet dinosaur.
