Wow, amazing

Will the retrosaurs be available for purchase soon?

[Joel]

Yes, those are looking great! You are very talented, sir. Keep up the great work! 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yep, definitely ordering those as well..man I'm racking up quite a want list..

[mb-cg]

Thanks, I'm glad you like them I made a 1/72 and 1/40 versions of both models and uploaded them to Shapeways.

GREAT !

Hello, I've worked a bit more on the Yinlong. Here are a few images of the model:

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Now that is one amazing figure . I do not know of anything offered out there even close to that model.The detail is quite well rendered too. Let me know when this is offered please. My only suggestion would be to offer a few different poses so I can order a few of them please !! Perhaps a running version or one that is lowering to the ground in the front to grasp something?

Would like to see a 1/40 Champsosaurus. Don´t think anyone has done one of these before.
Would be interested in several for "Best supporting actor" in my Campanian dioramas.
Am up for Crystal Palace Iguanodon and Megalosaurus too.

I agree with Spike 110%! I have wanted a good Champsosaurus to go with my Cretaceous model kits for a long time. 1/40 would also work with 1/35 as well.

That Yinlong has me curious..could a 1:1 Microceratus  be possible ? 

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I forgot to ask, what size are you considering offering the yinlong model at?

There's a small champsosaur in the Safari Prehistoric Crocs toob. It might actually be too large, at about 3" long, for 1/40 for a smaller species (assuming 1.5/5' long for a champsosaur, the figure would be about 1 1/2" long). For C. gigas though, it would be the perfect size (at about 10'-12' long).

Either way, I would still want a Shapeways one! The same model in 1/40 and 1/72 would allow for different species in the same scene!

I have the same figure and I was planning to make a resin copy & re-sculpt the jaws. However, a Shapeways figure in several different poses perhaps is a much better proposition than that Sow's ear into a Silk purse project.

Either way, I would still want a Shapeways one! The same model in 1/40 and 1/72 would allow for different species in the same scene!

Safari´s Champsosaur is too clumsily sculpted for my purposes. A mb-cg Shapeways alternative would hopefully allow access to finer, more anatomically authentic detail.

It would be printable only in frosted ultra detail. I will do a quick test model and will show it here.

I forgot to ask, what size are you considering offering the yinlong model at?

I'm modeling it for 1/10, I think it will be the best scale to have the details visible in the final figure.

That Yinlong has me curious..could a 1:1 Microceratus  be possible ? 

I think that it would be possible in WSF, but it would not be very cheap... The cost of the figure depends on the volume, and it would be very high

[amargasaurus cazaui]

If the holotype of yinlong was 9.8 feet long, that would make a 1/10 rendition roughly a foot long then if I understand scales at all? That would be an amazing model to have !

That would be enormous! As far as Shapeways goes. I would happier with a smaller one--1/30 or 1/40. If for no other reason, the cost on that much material at Shapeways would be...prohibitive.

[mb-cg]

I had the Princeton Field Guide by S. Paul as reference and I think the size is about 4 or 5 foot. I've searched a bit more and I've only seen that size (9.8 ft) in Wikipedia. I don't know which one is more reliable. The model I'm working on is about 16cm.

If it ballparked around 100.00 or so I'd be game. Maybe a hatchling Allosaurus would also be possible. I know David once mentioned something about hollowing out a piece to a certain extent..is that possible ? Could allow larger pieces for less price then.

I'd go with GSP's Field Guide. I'm not sure if those who edit Wikipedia have access to the source material.
