Beautiful Dinosaur mix

[tyrantqueen]

It's not a Giganotosaurus,it's a Carcharodontosaurus.

Whoops, my bad

[Jetoar]

Cool Lambeosaurus  . Carcaharadontosaurus is awesome  .

[postsaurischian]

Thanks for the comments !

Cool stuff, but I am reminded, for some reason, of the Invicta Tyrannosaurus' feet when I look at the feet of this Giggy

The feet seem to be the problem with this one ....... I like it anyway.

     Favorite Collection Tamba sauropod (originally sculpted by Hirokazu Tokugawa)

the Bully Lambeo and CollectA Carcharodontosaurus are beautiful. i hope Bullyland would start making really awesome dinos from now on (they are making progress which is something i cant really say about another German brand). the Tamba sauropod looks good. i just dont know why they have to make it metallic. :\

I too think that the new Bullyland upper management is moving slowly in the right direction this year and also hope they will be continuing this trend.

The Tamba colours look kind of cool in reality. Nonetheless mine is already on its way to Finland ... which is even cooler .

lol cool that you've decided to have it repainted.

Happy second thread birthday! I´m looking forward to seeing more pictures and stunning new acquisitions. Maye we also see some "Behind the scenes" someday, I mean, where and how do you store or display your collection?

Yes,I can see what you mean.The whole model actually seems to have a sort of Invicta like vibe to it to me,just more modernized.Which is good because I've always loved that line.

Well, it's true - yesterday was the second thread birthday!
Again I didn't notice that. I'm only constantly watching: When I will have as much posts as on DTF v.1 ?
Unfortunately - because of my small appartement - only about 1/4 of the collection is being displayed. Due to time-consuming preparations like cleaning up and dusting (), taking pics of the different arrangements would be a bigger project, which I want to do one day. The arrangements are constantly changing though.

Normally I'm not a huge fan of CollectA's Dinosaur figures. Last year I didn't buy any for example.
Maybe it's the Invicta touch both of you you see in the Carcharodontosaurus that makes me like it, because I've also always loved the line .

I think Anthony Beeson is a fan of the Invicta line (he wrote and researched several articles for Prehistoric Times concerning the history behind the line) so perhaps it's no coincidence that it has a strong Invicta "vibe"

    Aaron Doyle's Shapeways 1:12  Psittacosaurus & Protoceratops
                                                                                              _{>  both painted by Noora Kivisilta}

Congratulations! The paintwork on those two is simply amazing - lots of small details and subtle shifts in tone.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I have always admired and loved this paint up of the model. It was the model that led me to join the forum and seek out both Aaron and Copper. (psittacosaurus) I have one done quite similarly, although mine fails to capture all the subtle color changes and so forth present in your own . A piece I truly admire and am envious of....congratulations on that one Helge

[Libraraptor]

Beautiful paintjobs!

Asuka Langley Are you into Evangelion?

[CityRaptor]

Someone once said that for an Anime to become successful, it helps to have a girl named after a warship. For Evangelion it clearly worked. 
Looks like she is taking her pet Dinosaurs for a stroll. Her beautiful pet Dinosaurs!

Thank you ! This version of Aaron's Psittacosaurus is despite the hand issue still my favourite one and with these colours one of my all-time favourite Dinosaur figures generally.
Actually this is the second version of the paintjob. I already had had one painted by Martin (Garrat) when I saw Noora's first version. I got very envious and asked her to do the same for me. What came out is probably (as you say) the most beautiful of the three . All of them are of course. I'm a lucky duck and very grateful.

There are some new copperized figures in the works .
I adore her style.

Asuka Langley Are you into Evangelion?

I've been into Japanese animated movies since I saw Akira for the first time in the late 80s . I was so blown away!
I haven't been very interested in the Evangelion TV series, always thought the graphics weren't good enough for my tastes .
I might be wrong, I don't really know it, but the Bandai figures of the series are of extraordinary quality. This figure of Asuka is about 1:12 and so sweet, I would marry her right away. ....... she might think I'm too old, though .

[sauroid]

they are so beautiful.

if i can say something here about the two psittacosaurs and their differences. i definitely don't want to start a quarrel over my opinion  about this.
helge's model was painted  many years ago and between his model and amargasaurus' model i believe i have gathered more experience concerning model painting.
you asked me to paint your model exactly like helge's, and i told you i would do my best but that i couldn't make an exact clone. i only had couple photos as a reference, the best reference would have been helge's model in my hands during the time i was painting yours.
also my painting preferences change and that effects the outcome too. 
these are not excuses, i just wanted to say some points that i think had an effect on the outcome.

i'm truly sorry if the outcome was not what you wished for.

I don't think he was complaining...at least I didn't see it that way. From what I have seen, Amargasaurus seemed happy with his Psittacosaurus repaints. I honestly think they're both good paintjobs.

Maybe it's a difference in photography techniques that makes them look different?
