I only own one Shapeways dino. Angie's 1/40 male lambeo, eating.



I like Angie Rodrigues' models and painting style a lot, it's a shame she isn't active much nowadays

Manuel Bejanrano has made a couple of interesting models too. For instance, this Herrerasaurus.



And I love all of Aaron Doyle's pieces too.

  It looks like an unpainted Invicta figure.

[tyrantqueen]

It is far superior

[Jetoar]

Herrerasaurus is amazing  !

Manuel Bejanrano has made a couple of interesting models too. For instance, this Herrerasaurus.

  Thanks for the Manuel Bejarano hint !
I totally forgot about him . His models are beautiful and he's made quite a few meanwhile .


I thought it would be good to post links to the prehistoric model designers on Shapeways :

> Aaron Doyle: Mesozoic Miniatures
> Andrew Sides: gorgonzola
> Angie Rodrigues: 3DCreatures (unfortunately the Parasaurolophus isn't available anymore)
> Bruce Currie 'trilobite': Paleozoo
> David Krentz: David Krentz Dinosaurs
> Eric Thorsen: EricsStudio (only a few models are prehistoric)
> Galileo Hernandez Nunez: GNmodels Dinosaurs
> Jin Kyeom Kim 'kongtrex': VITAMIN-IMAGINATION
> Fabrizio De Rossi: fabricious
> Manuel Bejarano del Pino 'mb_cg': Manuel Bejarano
> Manuelsaurus: Manuelsaurus
> Pablo Arce 'razh00': PREHISTORIC CREATURES (unfortunately the Tiktaalik isn't available anymore)
> RareBreed: RareBreed
> yankeetrex: Mesozoic Creations

..... and for excellent scale figures > Tristan Bethe: tristan_bethe   .... off topic, but I really like them .

Sorry in case I've forgotten someone . I surely have.
If someone knows any more designers, please post links!

[tyrantqueen]

Thanks for the links. Rarebreed's dinos are interesting, although they are a little on the emaciated side for me personally. But the Isisaurus is good, definitely...
I love David Krentz' Diplo, it would be wonderful if that model was made into 1/40 or similar scale.

Herrerasaurus and Scaphonyx

[Jetoar]

Cool Scahphonyx and Herrerasaurus figures .

[brontodocus]

Yes, they are awesome, especially the Scaphonyx! And so... green (looks awesome with the moss)! Christian, did you get the juvenile Scaphonyx, too?

So, here are a few of mine (I only show the ones I've painted so far, I've got quite a few more that still await painting )...

Battle_Brak / Aaron Doyle:

Psittacosaurus "1/12". Material: White, Strong & Flexible.


Protoceratops  "1/12" with quills. Material: White, Strong & Flexible.


"Chirostenotes" sp. ("Triebold Caenagnathid")  "1/20" Luis Rey style.  Material: White, Strong & Flexible.

Alamosaurus "1/144". Material: White, Strong & Flexible.

@ Andre:  Awesome! Keep 'em coming!

@ Christian: Both species are on my to-get-list now .

[Jetoar]

Very nice paint  I like all  .

[stoneage]

@ Andre:  Awesome! Keep 'em coming!

@ Christian: Both species are on my to-get-list now .

Postsaurischian, I just love the way you paint figures and make dioramas!  Brontodocus and Radman your paint jobs are also excellent.

I can't speak for Radman, but I'm pretty sure Postsaurischian's dinos were painted by various artists, including Martin Garrett, Niroot Puttapipat, and Copper.

[postsaurischian]

I can't speak for Radman, but I'm pretty sure Postsaurischian's dinos were painted by various artists, including Martin Garratt, Niroot Puttapipat, and Copper.

Exactly! Solely these three. They are my Dinosaur figure painting heroes . I wouldn't be a good painter.
Unfortunately I'm only having one single model painted by Niroot yet (the Krentz Edmontosaurus right below the chubby Allosaurus). This must change !

[radman]

Angie's Brachylophosaurus, Gryposaurus, and Parasaurolophus.

Martin did the brachy, I did the large grypo with pastel powder, the smaller gryp and the para with acrylics.

[radman]

@ Bronto - no, I didn't get the juvy scaph, as I already had the Dawn of the dinos model about the same size.  I should probably get it though.  Just ordered a bunch more 1:72  hadros from Manuel as well, hopefully will go well with Angie's, some of the Dinotales, and the Antediluvia collection.

[postsaurischian]

  Beautiful pics, Christian!

Here are 3 Krentz 1:72 theropods:
Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosaurus & Majungasaurus - all in Black Detail and not fully cleaned

[radman]

Thanks Helge, btw that group shot of the 3 predators in black is amazing!
I was lucky to find a nice patch of moss in my yard and I think it made a nice background for the photos.  Even though it's only a cm or so high in real life, similar moss could have been a meter or more in the mesozoic, so it makes a perfect substrate for dino pix; I anticipate doing quite a few more there in the future.

[Bokisaurus]

Here are some of my collection
[





























I have a few more that needs photographed, including that Spino and Elasmotherium

[tyrantqueen]

The black material of those shapeways bring out the detail really well...I guess the material was expensive though?
