Suspsy's Collection

[Halichoeres]

Ha ha, to me it looks like, "son, if I could reach you, I would eat you lickety-split."

Funny, my fiancée (soon to be wife!) likes to tease me the same way. Still, she lets me keep those two on top of our bedroom dresser, so can't complain!

I'm in the process of selling my condo. The next step will be selling my soon-to-be-wife's condo and acquiring a house. Once that is done, I might have a chance of setting up my collections in a neat, orderly, proper display. But in the mean time, they're all in storage bins save for a few select favourites. Here are all my Carnegie critters, set up on the stairway at my parents' house.



I really wish the CC had produced at least one new ceratopsian in the years before they folded.

[Gwangi]

You're right, in all their years they really only produced 3 ceratopsians that I can recall. They put way too much emphasis on theropods, especially in their waning years.

[suspsy]

A Protoceratops to go with this year's Velociraptor would have been perfect. And I'd gladly trade in the Concavenator and the Cryolophosaurus (despite the fact that I like them) for say, Anchiceratops and Einiosaurus.

I can agree with that. Especially about the Concavenator which I don't even like. But I do quite like the Cryolophosaurus. I've wanted an Einiosaurus for a long time. At least we have consistent ceratopsians from Safari, and we can expect at least a couple more from Battat.

And here is my current CollectA collection, courtesy again of the staircase at my parents'!

Holy cow ! I didn't realize the guidraco figure was that big :O Great collection btw Suspsy 

[suspsy]

Thanks! And yes, it is gloriously big. I can't wait to see what CollectA has in store for the Supreme class next year!

[joossa]

Wow, that's impressive.

Sadly the Daxiatitan and Argentinosaurus are much too similar, IMO. I have the latter and have held off on getting the former.

Yeah, kinda looks like it's your actual pet pterosaur playing with your toys!

[Viking Spawn]

Very nice collection!  Looks like you just need to watch your step!   

[suspsy]

Eh, no problem, the key is simply to start setting them up from the top!

This was my inaugural entry in the Diorama Contest. I took it along the banks of the Ottawa River back in August. Say what you will about dinosaurs mounted on bases, but Firestreak's base made it very easy to stand him up in the water. And it was easy to conceal the base with sand.

Thanks again to everyone who voted!

[suspsy]

Couldn't resist bringing at least one dinosaur on my honeymoon! We stayed at a Sandals resort on the island of St. Lucia. We spent most of our time either on the beach or sitting by the main pool. It was a very pleasant, enjoyable, laid-back time overall, although some of the portions at the restaurants were very small! Also, the roads on hilly St. Lucia are absolutely stomach-turning.

Our suite had a little personal swimming pool, which was where this photo was taken. I'm missing it right now.

Whiskey, sun and T.rex. Great combination!

Whiskey, sun and T.rex. Great combination!

Lol! Totally agree!

Whiskey, sun and T.rex. Great combination!

Lol! Totally agree!

Especially when the whiskey, along with the wine and the beer, is included in the Sandals package!

Mind you, I'm a craft beer devotee, so Piton (the local brew) and Heineken taste like water to me. :p

[suspsy]

Here's my current Wild Safari collection. Probably won't be getting any other ones this year.

[suspsy]

In a few more weeks, this will be the home for my collection. Got a nice big wooden display cabinet with sliding glass doors waiting in storage at my father-in-law's. Stay tuned!

[Gwangi]

That's exciting! Can't wait to see the finished product.
