Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Not sure quite what you mean, but Everything_Dinosaur is Everything Dinosaur as in the blog, website etc.  Based in Cheshire (UK), a small team of dedicated, enthusiastic dinosaur fans and such like.  We have followed various posts on the forum for a while, we get lots of questions about new models, information requests and updates on our various blog sites and such like, so we thought we ought to take the plunge and become fully fledged forum members.

Congratulations,FUTABA on your new Troodon!

[Takama]

My Troodon has arrived.

Hah,  Congratulations 

[FUTABA]

Thanks guys, he's a bit bigger than I expected, not complaining.

[SBell]

The Jurassic Hunters are indeed quite a bit larger than we are used to!

[sauroid]

i like that Troodon a lot

[docronnie]

Nice Troodon, Futaba!

What I got yesterday:


Schleich Brachiosaurus - 2002


I maybe wrong, but I believe this is a Kaiyodo Dinoland 1/100 scale Allosaurus.  It is made of resin and only labeled Allosaurus under the base.

TFL!

[FUTABA]

Nice Allo docronnie. The style doesn't look much like Kaiyodo to me, not saying it isn't by them, I don't know to be honest, but it looks different to the majority of their stuff if it is by them. Anyway, it's a beaut.


Got my Geoworld Caudipteryx through today.

The colouration is a fair bit darker than the stock photos but I think I actually prefer it a bit more drab, looks more realistic yet still vibrant enough.


Also got this book a couple of days ago during a quick visit to the NHM (went for a daytrip to the Science Museum moreso but I can't go there without at least saying a quick hello to the NHM). I haven't read it yet but looks really nice.

[docronnie]

Thanks Futaba! Researched and it seems to be a Kaiyodo, but will post it in the identification thread.

Nice Caudipteryx you have there and a very interesting book too! 

[Jetoar]

Congrats for your new acquisitions. This book one of the best books of paleoart from my point of view.

Good luck. I'll check the ident. thread soon for the news.

Congrats for your new acquisitions. This book one of the best books of paleoart from my point of view.

Thanks. I don't necessarily agree with the artists view that it's "more dramatic (and fun) to reconstruct a dinosaur tearing flesh than say, sleeping" as it risks turning them into monsters instead of animals to a small degree, but having said that, he also does say he tries to depict other aspects of behaviour, which I find more interesting than just predators being predators without any thought to what else makes them the animals they are. The later pictures in the book look the most appealing to me as they are after all the large theropod fan fiction flesh feast. Having flicked through the artwork I must say overall it's highly impressive though, and I like how it's not overly speculative. Going to have a lot of fun reading it I think.

[Takama]

Four new Geowrolds

Saltasaurus Megaraptor Spinosaurus and Thescelosaurus

[Jetoar]

Wonderful figures of Geoworld  .

[amargasaurus cazaui]

A few pieces from the fertile mind and deft brush of Martin Garrat. Pictured are Martins redo of an old Airfix Triceratops, a new take on the Carnegie Acrocanthosaurus, and finally a Krentz 1/72 Anklyosaurus from Martins own collection, that I was able to purchase.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The paint job really made a difference on that Acro !
