Hi guys,

This is a painted Allosaurus soft model figure(previous version) from Favorite Co. I used a raw white figure from Favorite's paint-a-dinosaur set.
I also found a resin tree trunk and decided to add a rodent miniature in it.  This made a scene of an Allosaurus is spotting a primitive rodent in a wood hollow. Hope you guys like it :)

Please check the full-size pictures by clicking at the pictures. Feel free to leave comments.

Your repaints are always beautiful and well judged.  Love the hollow tree trunk and the mammal just peeking out.  It gives a touch of drama.

This looks amazing.  It has a much better paint job then what it originally had before. I love the mammal,  it looks like it is telling the Allosaurus to get away from the tree stump.

 :D Tasteful! Wonderful! You're very talented. I'd like to have a figure painted by you one day :).

I recently got that Allosaurus and I could not really warm myself to it, but this customization really gives it life. I like the attention to detail and the naturalistic choices for colors and patterns. Great work. Do you use airbrush or just usual brushes?

I got one smal nitpick for the base, as the feet of the Allo do not "sink" into the ground. Other than that, the base is damn good. I especially like that small puddle and the addition of that rodent,... gives the whole diorama a story of its own :)

Great repaint indeed, and a masterful work on the diorama overall. Quite a big rodent though, considering the proportions with the Allosaurus!

Thank you very much Dapletotyrannus. Yes, I think he's protecting his castle ;D

Than you very much Lanthanotus. I use only paintbrush for this size of figures. I agreed about the feet. I got a tree trunk and making a base after the Allosaurus's paintjob was mostly finished so I'm quite afraid of grabbing and heavily stamping the feet on the textured base to show deeper footprint slots :)

Thank you very much Reptilia. Yes, the rodent model is the smallest size I could find but I also think it's scale is still quite big so I chose to consider that this size might existed but we just didn't discover yet :))

Exactly like Lanthanotus said: the figure is not really special, but it really comes to life in this setting/diorama and with this beautiful paint job. Excellent work. I love it.

Well,

they said it all -
like Lanthanotus,  I also really like the attention to detail and the naturalistic choices for colors and patterns.
and like postsaurischian  I'd like to have a figure painted by you one day ... :)

the hollow tree trunk and the mammal just peeking out just remind me a work I adore :
