Beautiful Dinosaur mix

[Himmapaan]

Inspired by Seijun's picture of the original Carnegie Apatosaurus baby from Germany (unfortunately we still don't have the 'link to post' feature back), I took some pics of its mother, that 'Grand Dame of rubber sauropods' - also of German origin .......

Helge is of course referring to this post in particular.

I do so want the original Carnegie Apatosaurus mother and infant...

That's very helpful. Thanks Niroot .

So are these the first of the Carnegie figures that were distributed by Schleich? I remember that prior to the ReplicaSaurus line they were offering these (same is apparently true for the Monterey Bay Aquarium Collection) and in the early 90s I've seen the old Carnegie Diplodocus (and others) frequently appearing among Schleich figures in toy stores in Germany - wasn't there even a tag with "Schleich" and "The Carnegie Collection" on them?

That's right. That's why I thought the Carnegie Collection was made by Schleich back then.
We didn't have the internet and I didn't even know Safari existed .

              This is the original Carnegie Brachiosaurus I bought the very same day in 1988 (1989?)

     PaleoCraft 1:20 Elasmotherium by Sean Cooper

[Tylosaurus]

ZOMG ! *orthocone* That horn is massive!!! *orthocone*

It's more like a "don't mess with my horn" thing rofl Very nice detailed sculpt though
What colors are you going to give it?

[brontodocus]

That Paleocraft Elasmotherium is simply stunning! The texture of the fur is especially gorgeous. Oh, is this the reason why Mironimus-Rex currently doesn't have it in stock? BTW: I'm painting my Paleocraft Thylacoleo at the moment...

[copper]

must... have... that elasmotherium...

[postsaurischian]

must... have... that elasmotherium...

He, he ... so did I. I love it!

..... might be .
Have I already mentioned that I really like your new banner ?
Wait .... 1, 2, 3 .... I can see 6 PaleoCraft models on it. Looking forward to the newly painted 7th one. I have 8 at the moment.
And I also see good old painted Invicta Muttaburrasaurus. I bought that one at the Queensland Museum in 1996 .

Thanks Helge! Oh, yes, I've got the painted Invicta Muttaburrasaurus from you... let me check... in October or November 2010! So far my only painted Invicta, though.

What a wonderful collection. And stunning shots. You truly have an artistic insight in your photos. I really liked the one with Triceratops and Ankylosaurus taking a walk on your hand.

Thanks Harukin . The 'hand photo' took a while. It was a bit hard to keep the left hand calm while taking pics with the right (which of course also had to be kept calm).

The postman rang me out of bed today - exceptionally early! Yes, he's the only person being allowed to do so ...
_{....... especially when he's got beautiful Dinosaurs in his bag for me.}
Himmapaan sent me his version of this beautiful Shapeways figure. What a wonderful start of the day!


     David Krentz 1:144 Edmontosaurus - painted by Niroot Puttapipat



     _{I can't believe how beautiful it is - although I've been knowing Niroot long enough to be well aware of his excellent skils.}





         Now it's a trio!  from left to right:  painted by Niroot  /  painted & based by Martin Garratt  /  unpainted 'Black Detail'

[Himmapaan]

Hooray! I'm glad it's arrived safely, I was beginning to worry!

I didn't realise Martin had painted his with stripes along the upper back too, darn. I'd have painted this one more differently. 

[brontodocus]

Wonderful! Actually I think it's rather an advantage that both paint schemes go together so well.

   Papo rex stalks Dinoland Maiasaura .......

[Tylosaurus]

This is a very nice photo


As if it's looking down and thinking, "Hmm ... There is no way I want to fall down there!"  *orthocone*

[Simon]

Now THAT is one heckuva diorama photo!  The Trex doesn't look bad at all from that angle!  I thought it was the old TRex for a moment!!

[brontodocus]

That's a very nice location where you photographed the Papo Tyrannosaurus and Dinoland Maiasaura! Do you have that creek near your home?

[radman]

I agree with Simon and Bronto, a very nice picture indeed.  I just got the Papo running T.rex myself, and it is quite nice; you have captured it quite superbly.

Thanks for the comments . Yes, it's just around the corner in the 'Günther-Klotz-Anlage'.
I can't tell you how happy I am that spring time is here .
