I'm surprised I don't see a Carnegie in that Plateosaurus collection. Love the Bullyland model, I really need to get that one.

I'm amazed that the Kaiyodo stands up on its own with its tail up like that.

It's a trick. A small piece of acrylic Colorata rod (which you can't see in the pic) elevates the tail.

Aha! Very sly.

....... how about getting the erect Bullyland version? Don´t you like it or didn´t you simply encounter it yet?

It's a bit too much of a Schwäbischer Lindwurm ( ;D) for my tastes.

I'm also surprised. I forgot about that one.
I've never really liked it. Maybe it's the colours?

amargasaurus cazaui

The Carnegie Plateosaurus is a model I have always liked for some reason...but I did get one repainted by Martin in colors that more tend to resemble the Zallinger mural scheme .

I see ;)

Well, I do have the Antediluvia Gryposaurus, too. Got it for Christmas six or seven years ago and it immediately broke both of its forearms. Fixed it, still love it!

Thanks, Nebuloid!
I have the complete collection, all figures in the same colour and I love the way they look.
I don't think I'll ever let them get painted.

I guess the blue stage has run its course.......

Hah! Never! One of the next models has to be Blue again!
This one I wanted to look a bit zebraesque :).

It's a lovely model.  I especially enjoyed seeing the close-up of the face and the detail of how it's been painted.

So many beautiful Dinosaurs.

Sit! Good Girl!

Now that is a pose you don't see every day.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

  :)  Thank you for the comments! I'm glad I now have every Krentz model that I wanted.

  :D  Rader Studios 1:35* Styracosaurus albertensis  (sculpted by Jonathan Rader, painted by Martin Garratt)

                             >  This has been my favourite Styracosaurus ever since I saw it on radman's collection thread, years
                                 ago on DTF v.1. Another model I thought I'd never get, because contacting Jonathan Rader
                                 seemed to be impossible. But just as with the Brachylophosaurus a fortunate coincidence happened
                                 and I could get one from ataraxus (THANKS again!) that I immediately sent to Martin.
                                 The base is missing but I can live with that. The wonderful colours were inspired by CM Studio.
                                 * The last picture shows that the model is more like 1:40.





                         




                                   ... compared to similar sized figures by Battat and Safari Carnegie Collection ...

that Carnegie Styracosaurus still looks great for its age. glad that i have one too.

                                                                         :)  CollectA 1:40* Beishanlong
                                                  * As in most cases of CollectA's DeLuxe series, the model is much bigger.
                                                                         I'd say the figure is about 1:30 - 1:25.

It's absolutely better than the stock pictures.
Great!
