It's made by a friend. It's my color :)

That's absolutely gorgeous, both the sculpt and the paint.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

ceratopsian

A lovely addition to your collection. An excellent base too.

Your friend is a talented sculptor and you a talented painter! It's a beautiful figure.

Avian

That will surely look nice on your shelves! The color reminds me a little bit of the soft model by Favorite Co.
You must understand the past before you can change the future.

It's very nice, by the way, what company does this parasaurolophus belong to?

Thank you. My friend made this by himself.

Both the model and the paint job are very beautiful!

Very nice coloration, would love to see it in daylight.

As a long term fan of this genus, I approve of this model! ;D  Both you and your friend are extremely, phenomenally talented - this looks like something professional you might find in a museum.  Both of you could certainly market your skills if you fancied it. 

I LOVE your paint job, both the colour scheme, which has to be one of my personal favourites of the Hadrosaur colour schemes I've seen, and the application.  I especially like the fact that you've put gloss one the eye and around the nostril, it really brings it to life.  The sculpting is gorgeous, and I love the crisp scaly texture and dynamic but naturalistic pose - and the fact that you're friend included a back frill. 

Admittedly I'm not an expert on Hadrosaur anatomy, but it is basically accurate, although I would say that the tail is too thin.  Hadrosaurs had distinctive deep, muscular tails.  More minor nitpicks are that the beak sheath could do with being longer and the body is a little skinny compared to most modern restorations.  But I'm being a pedant in true DTF style.  The fact remains that I think this is a beautiful work of art.
UPDATE - Where've I been, my other hobbies, and how to navigate my Flickr:

Yes, the tail is a little thinner, and the shape of the head can be more detailed. We're still trying.

I'll take it to the outdoors when I have time. To choose a better place, I will shoot more works.

Don't worry, you can only improve from here!  Not trying to rip you apart, just offering constructive criticism.  Looking forward to see outdoor shots, and some of the other things you've done.

My compliments to your friend the sculptor! Your paint work also looks very nice.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
