Meanwhile I have uploaded another pose of the Yangchuanosaurus, finally I killed him

Rofl Don't worry, he died for a good cause. The diorama fans will be pleased

Dude I love your concavenator! Its so very detailed1 Did you used dynamesh for this?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Manuel, if you ever lack for projects, I would toss my own suggestion out there....one of the more recent discoveries that has not been done by anyone and could be done in larger scale...Pegomastax Africana !!! Very exotic looking and unique dinosaur . Just a suggestion and I do know your creative zone is lined with them already, just my two cents. Love the steady stream of unique models you have been chugging out there lately. And they say my psittacosaurus sign is to be delivered in a few days, so excited for that, many thanks again.

I received my 1/35 Concavenator today.



I like it very much, although I was a bit disappointed that some of the details in the 3D mesh did not show in the final model, but I guess that is to be expected in Shapeways models.

Btw, MB, have you ever considered turning your 3D models in resin kits? Like how David Krentz does with his Saurozoic collection. It would take full advantage of the details in the models that way.

Anyway, thanks for making these models and being so open to our feedback also

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Lucky.... I'm thinking about getting one of those as well.

I use Mudbox for sculpting because I find it more intuitive, although Zbrush has lots of powerful features.

The Pegomastax is in my list of future projects, I even have a basemesh for it. It is really small, so I don't know what scale I would use, maybe 1:4.

Thank you for uploading that photo It would be great to do resin kits of some of my models, but printing a high resolution figure is very expensive and I don't have any experience making resin kits.

I have finally an enemy for my Stegosaurus, the Ceratosaurus. Here is a render of both models:

I'm adding these two to my list! I would love to buy these all again as resin models. I think Mr. Krentz could point you in the right direction.

That's understandable, but for what it's worth, you definitely have the talent for it

Most references I see place the dinosaur at around 60 centimeters in total length or just under 24 inches long . A 1/4 scale would make the model then roughly six inches which would be about correct. If you were to go 1/2 it would be a foot long and require two seperate pieces for the process.Think that scale would be right on target for the dinosaur.

Manuel, Shapeways is really confusing me as to the approximate size of models on that site. Can you tell us exactly how big (in inches) most of your models are? Again, I know Shapeways says, but I also know that Shapeways has a track record of having the wrong dimensions. Thanks.

My 1/35 Concavenator model is just over 6 inches from nose to tail, but Shapeways lists it as a little over 5 inches. I didn't know Shapeways had a track record of getting the measurements wrong, where did you read that? Just curious.

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

TQ, I've heard it from several forum members, and I have also heard that in many cases, like the one you mentioned, it is only about an inch off.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Pretty awesome Ceratosaurus bud !

[SpartanSquat]

Fantastic job in the ceratosaurus! One question, the plates and the spikes are subtools?

Thank you   Who knows, maybe in a future I try it

I don't know, maybe 1:2 is a little big. I'll see, once the model it's finished it's not difficult to make different scales.

The Ceratosaurus in neutral pose is about 17,5cm/6,88in. I think the main problem with some of the wrong sizes is that Shapeways changes the orientation of the models in order to have the minimum bounding box. They try to print the maximum amount of figures at once.

Pretty awesome Ceratosaurus bud !

Thank you

Thanks, I sculpted them in Mudbox as separate objects and then I put all the pieces together with 3ds Max.

I don't order from Shapeways a lot (the only one I have so far is David Krentz's 1/144 scale Tyrannosaurus), but this Concavenator is just too awesome . I am going to try to get it for Christmas in WSF Polished.

Thank you, glad you like it 

[Yutyrannus]

Can you please make an Ichthyovenator sometime soon? That would be so awesome !

[dutchdinolover]

Stunning work, again.

I simply can't keep up with your work rate. I think i will buy myself some christmas presents this year!

[amargasaurus cazaui]

My Psittacosaurus sign arrived today !!! I will get some pictures when it slows down a bit for me and  post them, but I wanted to say thanks again so very much for making that happen for me. Awesome piece for my collection and so appreciated.
