[postsaurischian]

... it's gonna be beautiful !

[sauroid]

cant wait to see that fully painted and assembled postsaurischian.

[tyrantqueen]

Lucky Who are you going to send it to for assembly?

[postsaurischian]

I guess Martin is the right man . He loves spinosaurids, Baryonyx is his favourite Dinosaur.

[FUTABA]

I finally received my Service Games Tyrannosaurus rex

Here he is with a SEGA relative (?)



There are a couple of paint scuffs, and he is missing a finger.



However, I will probably repair it. Or tweak it with putty to make it look like a battle injury, ala Stumpy from Dinosaur Revolution?

Finally, I'm glad to own a Shinzen sculpt

Nice. I like the musculature on this. Is it hollow?

Yup

Archaeopteryx day!!! 

Did you repaint the Bullyland one yourself or is it just a different version?

And the Papo is one ugly bird but in a cute / ugly way I suppose. Still won't put me off getting one. Is the blue section on the back of neck supposed to be a feathery covering or is it scales? I'm pretty sure I see blue scales on the face but it's not clear around the neck region.

And last but not least - A  rubber chicken...

...That poops an egg.

Oh man! That hurts! 
Nice adquisitions.

Poor little chicken had a bit of trouble laying, so my friend decided to give a helping hand (although she'd misplaced the forceps). Almost had to have a C-section. Unfortunately the shell is still up inside her.

Did you repaint the Bullyland one yourself or is it just a different version?

It's an alternate colour scheme. Bullyland released two versions, one blue and one green.

That Bully Archaeopteryx is a variant. I guess the green is rarer than the blue. Got it pretty cheap, lucky me I guess, it was less than 15 bucks including shipping. The neck on Papo's model is feathered, just the face, feet and fingers are scaly. The throat shows some skin wrinkles.

[FUTABA]

It must be a bit rarer than the blue one as I don't think I've seen the green version before. It's a nice colour scheme, probably more realistic in fairness (although I prefer the blue overall because I'm biased ). I think my blue variant cost about £15 with shipping so you certainly got yourself a bargain. I'll have to keep a look out for the alternate one though. It could be a female for my little guy.

And I'm glad the Papo one has a feathered neck. The head would look really out of place otherwise without the feathered neck to blend it somewhat.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Someone's going to repaint the head/neck on the Arche to match the body eventually..then I'm sure it will impress !

The blue was the original version; I think the green was released a year or two later. Being Bullyland, it didn't get much attention or distribution.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I heard the green was more rare. I picked up the blue version myself..the only Archeopteryx figure I own for now.

It didn't get much exposure--the blue one was a museum commission from Belgium. The green was a later repaint, and I think it was retired soon after (maybe the museum only ordered so many in blue, and the remainder was painted differently--and were retired after selling out).
