David Krentz Dinosaurs

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

David i own one and have for about a week now. Got to tell ya its the best and most accurate Spinosaur model out there period! long toro, short femur, perfect skull and the sail which is in my opinion (not that it matters) is the new correct look of the dorsal vertebrae . love it. Got mine from Dans Dinosaurs. I want to get all of your 1/40th Collection. I wonder if the tail should be a bit longer ? and the head is turned a tad too sharp compared with the neck bend my work has its faults too, but its wonderful and im very glad to have it. more David. Im not just a Paleosculptor but I also collect and support others that do what I do and will continue to support them , I love what I do and so do they, if we want to see them continue then buy there work. I do.

Thanks Shane!  High praise!  I actually triple checked the neck posture, and held back from an even more s-curve that looked really cool and pelican like, but clearly caused the neural spines to overlap.  I know there is a tendency to depict Spinos with a hang dog-c-shaped neck, but this is based on ONP ( anatomically neutral position) which I am alway highly skeptical.  If people didn't know what a rabbit looked like and recreated its skeleton the cervicals would prove that a rabbit spent most of its day staring at its own butt through it front paws.  My three consultants on the piece, one of whom actually did work on Spinosaur necks said I was pretty safe, which I was happy about because I was trying to get the head back in anticipation of a sawfish coming into view.

  Not sure about the tail length.  Maybe... I followed Scott Hartman's skeletal so I'll just blame him.  I think I saw one of your Spinos with an "updated" sail.  It looked amazing.

  I wish I could collect other peoples work, and I often feel hypocritical that I don't.  However, I just don't have room for it all!  Heck, I don't even display my own resins.  I don't even own painted version of my own resins..well, except some Antediluvians.  Pretty sad really.  However, I am EXTREMELY grateful for those people who spend their hard earned money on our dinosaur sculpts.

Scott did illustrate an article saying how differences occur within a given species. So a longer or shorter tail is perfectly feasible I think.

You're right blade, he did!

It's a great point that relieved a TON of stress on my end.

Wow, that looks awesome ! Now I definitely have to get one.  Did you choose a color scheme or give Martin free reign ?

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

That. Is. Amazing.

Is there a notable difference between Frosted Detail and Frosted Ultra Detail?

Is there a notable difference between Frosted Detail and Frosted Ultra Detail?

The details for FUD feel more accentuated but it's a tough call to make.
I usually go with Frosted Detail because it's more affordable. There probably is a small difference, but for me Frosted Detail is good enough for me.

Some pics of the shirts might be nice....  This is the "Queen Version".  There is of course, a "It's Good to be King" version as well.  Cuz I know all you kids love those Mel Brooks movies...

[DinoLord]

Very neat idea!


David you need to do some big sauropods for your Saurozoic collection; I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
