Very cool! Also if you want to see how I'll paint the Baryonyx, check page one of the Dinosaurs: Monsters of the Mesozoic thread and look for the Australian Spinosaur picture .

I checked it and your other designs and they look great, hope to see photos of the the Baryonyx when you paint it!

I'll post as many photos as I can .

I really like this Turiasaurus and hope to get the 1/40 version.

I wonder though, what size did you use as reference? The Shapeways page states a length of 20.91cm, so your model depicts an animal with a length of slightly over 15m. With the neck and tail stretched out horizontally, would it reach the lower estimate of 21m as provided by wikipedia? Wikipedia also gives an estimate of up to 30m, in this case your model would be quite a bit too small. Or are those numbers incorrect?

I used as reference a reconstruction of the holotype by EoFauna (LINK). I tried to avoid Wikipedia in my latest figures and use the size of found fossils, in this way at least one dinosaur had those dimensions 

I had not seen this reconstruction before, looks like great reference material though. And it seems it uses the 21m length.
Really looking forward to the 1/40 version, even if I´ll have to save up for some time. I wonder if it can be printed in one piece?

I think Shapeways size limits would prevent that.  But if it goes together as smooth as  it appears to it shouldn't be a problem.

Reading this just makes me wonder if Paul was using the estimate from Wiki; In Paul's book "Field guide to Dinosaurs", his estimate was 30 metres and 50 tonnes, maybe there is a larger individual that hasn't been described yet... (probably not but it would be hard to imagine the animal to be a third larger again than the current reconstruction)

I will upload firstly a 1:72 version of the Turiasaurus, that would be really big despite the scale. In 1:40 it could be printed in one piece, but there are some restrictions on Shapeways about the volume and density of the figures, so I've been doing some tests and maybe I upload it as a kit. Here is a comparison with my Spinosaurus, you can see how big the 1:40 Turiasaurus would be:

Wow, thanks for the scale comparison.  I guess even a 1/72 brachiosaur would still be difficult with shapeways.  Still... one can dream.

'will still get that rex and turiasaurus.

Just ordered the 1:72 Turiasaurus, can't wait to see it in person

I have done a test uploading the 1/72 model scaled to 1/40 and there is no problem with the size. The only issue is that it would be only available in WSF.

It seems like Paul used the first estimations, although that restoration is just from the holotype. I don't know if more Turiasaurus specimens have been found

Maybe Paul just used the one on the paper (see below, which seems to be over 25metres...) for his estimate.

[Bokisaurus]

Just received the 1:72 version of the sauropod and it's beautiful and big, larger than Gorgonzola's Amarga that is at 1:40 scale! I can't imagine how big the 1:40 version of this giant would be!

[Bokisaurus]

Got them finally and they are beautiful models!
Centrosaur, Baryonyx both at 1:40 and Turiasaurus at 1:72 ( still big)
[
With CollectA's Argentinosaurus for comparison. Can't wait to paint them 

[Yutyrannus]

Received the 1/40 Baryonyx today, will post pictures soon . It is an excellent model and it appears that WSF shows a lot more detail than I originally thought.

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Mb-cg, if I may be so bold, I have a couple of requests:
Can I personally commission another pose of the beautiful Spinosaurus; an attacking pose (head lowered, bellowing, etc.)? This would make me  .
Additionally, on Blade's behalf, are you thinking about doing an Allosaurus? This would probably make him  .
Anyways, great work, as always, on your models.

[alexeratops]

I too have a request.

Can you make a few sea reptiles, like

or
?

That, my friend, would be, ehem, sick.

[alexeratops]

... a few sea reptiles...

<---- quote from me

And yes I realize that Dunkleosteus is a fish, not a reptile.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I believe Mb stated he had a few projects that were taking him away from Shapeways for a bit, and then his plan was to work on the Pegomastax a bit. So it might be a bit, based on his comments before he is able to visit some of the new requests, if I read his responses correctly

[Yutyrannus]

I too would love to see a Atopodentatus by Mb-cg.

[tyrantqueen]

Dan mentioned something about wanting to get support for commissioning some work from Manuel B for his dinosaur line. So, we could see a resin kit from him in future...

That I would..thanks for thinking of me !

Anytime, Blade. 
Plus, it's not that hard to predict...just ask for an Allosaurus! A BIG ONE.

I wouldn't mind a big Allosaurus either...but MB tends to favour smaller scales (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Imagine if Manuel did a large Allosaurus (or allosauroid) resin kit for Dan's Dinosaurs...that would be a dream come true

Allosaurus is great...but what about Saurophaganax?
