That Tyrannosaurus looks lovely. I like the dermal osteoderms too, he looks very gnarly. Is there any reasoning why you added them, or is it just artistic license?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The craggy look is pretty cool..almost tempted to do it on our Rex..

[Yutyrannus]

Cool but...no feathers ?

[mmfrankford]

Love that rex!  If you get tempted to put feathers, please make this one available. I will definitely grab this scaly fella!

Question, can you easily convert one of the centrosaurus into a styracosaurus??? Just wondering?? Hint hint, nod, nod...

[dutchdinolover]

I orderd a bunch:

-Baryonyx
-Yangchuanosaurus
-stegosaurus
-ceratosaurus
-spinosaurus

I simply could not resist anymore

[dutchdinolover]

And I forgot to mension the Pentaceratops

Asome rex Manuel! an other must have for me. (to be honest, every peace of your work in the 1/40 scale line is... )

1:40 Ceratosaurus and Stegosaurus.  Awesome, huh? 
Actually, top pic is Allosaurus by GN.

I'll second this suggestion!

Very nice models, radman!

[radman]

One other nice thing about Manuel's models is, he has started putting the holes for hollowing out the figure on the bottom of the feet instead of the belly - still useful for supporting the figure without having to cover the hole up later.

Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like the Rex 

The T-rex looks fantastic! I hope to see it in a variety of poses. Do you intend on making the fishing Baryonyx in 1/35?

I'm working on it, so I'll try to upload it soon

That Tyrannosaurus looks lovely. I like the dermal osteoderms too, he looks very gnarly. Is there any reasoning why you added them, or is it just artistic license?

It's mostly an artistic license I've tried to explore different ideas with the therapods I have modeled

Now I have modeled some Theropods I want to change a bit, and the Styracosaurus is on my to-do list of ceratopsians. I wanted to model the Nasutoceratops too, but I saw that Aaron Doyle has already modeled it.

Aw, still no feathers? 

Cool but...no feathers ?

I grew up with scaly dinosaurs and it costs me a lot seeing the T. Rex, the King of the dinosaurs covered with feathers XD Anyway, the evidences are there so I have done a test with feathers and I will try to upload a 1/40 feathered version:

Thanks radman for the photos  . Shapeways is getting more and more restrictive with the escape holes, and I'm trying to make the holes the less visible I can. I try to avoid swiss cheese dinosaur figures XD

Cool rex! I like the feathers, it makes it look better, IMO.

[Yutyrannus]

Feathered version is so awesome ! Also, have you thought about the Ichthyovenator suggestion I made a while back?

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Yes; I also like the feathered version, myself.

[tyrantqueen]

Aesthetically, I prefer the scaly version. I don't have a problem with the fuzzy one, though. I just prefer that if my dinosaurs are feathered, they are given full bird style featherings, instead of just a thin coat. Like the Kaiyodo capsule T.rex:



You have a guaranteed purchaser in me though

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Feathered version looks good. I personally feel there isn't enough evidence one way or the other but with both versions, to each their own.

I like to keep options open, it leaves more room for artistic freedom

True enough.

Strangely enough, I agree; I prefer the scaly one. The new Kaiyodo rex is great in terms of feathers, but the "mohawk" concept is a bit tired by this point XD

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

I don't prefer one way or another; I do like both versions when it comes to the pics Manuel has released.
