Those look really nice, do you have a better picture of the sauropod?

Thanks, although I have already started to work on the Lirainosaurus by the time you wrote this comment I'll take a photo, but it will be covered in grey primer, if that is okay

Oh that's no problem, I just wanted to see the skin detail if that's the WSF material. Whenever you get a chance,thanks.

That crystal palace iguanodon looks interesting. I have the Kinto Favorite model of the 1850's Iguanodon btw:



I'm a big retro fan  Do you think you could make a retro Megalosaurus, to go along with it?



Thanks for listening to all of our requests

[Jetoar]

Very cool figure, I dont wait to see the finish it

[John]

Thanks! I just bought them!

Maybe for some-non dinos, what do you think about crocodylomorphs such as Kaprosuchus and Sarcosuchus? I'd also love to see a Postosuchus! Even if you choose not to do those guys, I'm still very happy with what you have made so far! Thank you!

Thank you!! I love the shape of the Kaprosuchus, it would be fun to model it 

Would you consider doing an edaphosaurus? With an appropriately sized pin-head, of course 

There's so many replicas of Dimetrodon, but not so many of this guy

It would be fun to model too. Choosing the species to model is a torture XD

Hmm..a nice sized Nothosaurus would be very much appreciated.   Any interest in maybe doing Crystal Palace retro dinos in 1/40 ?  I know I among many others would love to have figures of them finally.

I thought about the Crystal Palace "dinosaurs" some time ago and even made a base model. It is unfinished so I need to detail it. Here is what I modeled:

As for which species of Edaphosaurus to consider...how about the one in all the old paintigs by Knight ect. Edaphosaurus pogonias?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The Crystal Palace Iguanodon is a great start, would love to have a whole set of 1/40 Crystal Palace critters so a Megalosaurus as TQ mentioned would an awesome companion as well. You have to give the classics love.

If you need any reference pics for them or anything shoot me a PM, I'll dig up some for you.

Cool! I'd love to see one in 1/72 scale of course, but do you think you may be able to do one in 1/18? To make it easier for the machine to print out, maybe you could cut the 1/18 scale version into half. Each piece could be roughly 6 inches.

I'd say give a couple of Abelisaurs a go in 1/40.

The WSF max bounding box  is 650x350x550mm, so even it's possible to print it in one piece.

I'd say give a couple of Abelisaurs a go in 1/40.

That would be a good pick when I start with Theropods

I remember watching the Crystal Palace statues in a documentary when I was a child and I always wanted to have a figure of them, so this is a good oportunity. I have modeled the Megalosaurus (it's unfinished), trying to make it as accurate as possible. Here is an image

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Wow ! That Meg looks great..the color gives me an idea too..I have an idea for painting it in a faux bronze now..


When you start on theropods..remember you can never have too many Allosaurs..

[tyrantqueen]

Almost perfect match Another great thing is that this model will be super easy to paint XD

If you ever decide you want to make more retrosaurs, here is a good link for reference: http://www.copyrightexpired.com/earlyimage/prehistoriclifebeforekt/index.html

Hehe, I love retro depictions- they don't get enough love.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Same here TQ..I love the old guys..incorrect or not they were important steps in our understanding of dinosaurs and paleo-art.

[SBell]

I am not a retro-figure kind of collector, but I really like these. I too hope to see a whole series of Crystal Palace figures (if you're really motivated, hunt down pictures of the ones that were meant for Central Park as well!)

I found these I think are supposed to sketches done for Hawkins Central Park project that never was :




This is a great little book on Hawkins work :

This looks cool.

[mmfrankford]

Seriously, I'm loving your models. I even like the "iguanodon", a very iconic figure. I also second the idea of Kaprosuchus. 

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Still nothing in the way of a basal ceratopsian ? I had high hopes that come to be.

I'm sure he'll have one pretty soon, and of course it will be well worth the wait.

[Dinojake]

What about one of these 
mamenchisaurus
Rapetosaurus
Gastonia
Pinacosaurus
Einiosaurus
Pachyrhinosaurus
Altirhinus
Daspletosaurus
Raptorex
Monolophosaurus

I think a Mamechisaurus would be pretty cool, or a Barosaurus. I like really long necked sauropods. But I guess mb-cg has enough requests on his hands atm. I'd really just be happy with some awesome retrosaurs.

Do I dare suggest a retro recreation of the old 1910's depiction of a lizard legged Diplodocus?

[mb-cg]

Hello again, this is the finished "Iguanodon" and an image with the "Megalosaurus":

Still nothing in the way of a basal ceratopsian ? I had high hopes that come to be.

Here is the base mesh of the next model

I like a lot that old drawings and the lizard-kangaroos
