Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

[Shadowknight1]

I have/had that Velocirapteryx.  Not sure if it's still in a box somewhere or got purged in a garage sale.  Loved that sucker though, real mean looking.  Except for that hole in its back.  Never knew what that was for.

Never saw that flying one though.

some of my recent (and not so recent) acquisitions:

Excellent selection. Does the Archelon and Dunkleosteous come with bases?

[tanystropheus]

Colorata quetzalcoatlus

I've always liked the Colorata Quetz. It's elegant and the pose is one of a kind 

[tyrantqueen]

I hate to sound like a backseat mod, but tany, could you please stop quoting entire photos of posts? Just one photo gets the point across just fine. I normally report it to the mods when I see such things, but unless I speak out about it the poster might not be aware of what they are doing and keep repeating the problem.

Thank you

I have the Dunk (and Anomalocaris) and base is included, so I would assume it is for the Archelon as well.

Also, notice how I deleted all extra photos from the quote? Makes this easier to read!

I like that quetzalcoatlus.


I got the trio from JP: Allen, Ellie, and Ian. I got them all used, but I think that gives them some charm.

[Dinomike]

Haha! I got Ellie, Alan and Malcolm second hand as well! Great new creatures everyone!

I think the holes are for sound, since only the JP pieces with sound have them.

Haha, but they are such beautiful pictures...I couldn't resist 
Awesome, I was thinking of picking up those models at some point. The Dunk seems like it will go well with my WS version.

It's a pretty good match, a little bigger.

Battat dinos are really hard to find in my country.
I found this 3 guys on Ebay for 10 US Dollar  (all)..... 

[sauroid]

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Nice pic too! Shows all the details and color.

Thank you. 
When I took pictures with ambient lights (and not studio/photographic lights), usually I use the HDR technique ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_imaging ).
Have a nice day 

[Daspletodave]

To answer Tanystropheus - yes, both the Archelon and Dunkleosteus come with the bases.

[Arul]

yes battat is very hard to find for me, battat diplo is in my wish list

Interesting. Is it complex to achieve? I wonder if it's something I can do when taking pics of the dinosaurs in the Park?

No, it's easy. You need a camera with manual exposure, a tripod and an HDR software (Photoshop can create an HDR image).
If you need more info, please send me a PM.
Have a nice day

I appreciate the offer bud, thanks!  I unfortunately have only a small refurbished kodak digital camera and that's about it. Photoshop?  I still use Paint... I am a dinosaur.. lol

HDR is indeed an interesting idea, and it's very useful for astrophotographers. I like the idea, but personally don't use it as I find tripods a bit binding.
