Too true.

[alexeratops]

the charm of very old dino books and their unintentional humor (you chuckle while reading them).

Or the smug feeling you get because you know most of them are wrong

Oh, man, totally! 

[tyrantqueen]

How about some baby dinosaurs

Tyrannosaurus rex juvenile "Jane" in detail plastic



Chasmosaurus juvenile in frosted detail



The Kaiyodo Dinoland Chasmo will make a good parent...

[tyrantqueen]

Kaiyodo Dinoland Stegosaurus



It needs a lot of TLC but the sculpt still shines through. I'll be repairing and repainting it. The current colour scheme is a little too....tropical for my taste.

Very nice stego, was it a kit or a prebuilt?

[tyrantqueen]

Very nice stego, was it a kit or a prebuilt?

I think it's a model kit, because I removed some of the paint with rubbing alcohol and it was white plastic underneath. I've never seen a prebuilt version of this kit, they must be pretty rare

[Invicta Hunter]

Yeah I think the prebuilts are very rare.
Any ideas what colour you'll be painting it after the old paint is stripped off??

I can tell you what colour I won't be painting it: green with red plates Actually I do have something in mind. I really liked Angie Rodrigues' Stegosaurus render, so that's the paintjob I'd like to copy.

[stargatedalek]

nice find
and nice choice of paint app, it already looks almost like it was made with that model in mind

[Invicta Hunter]

Sounds cool, I hope it goes well.

1/20 Anzu, in frosted detail.

Very nice! What's your opinion on the FD material? When painted, are the extra details worth the extra money when compared to WSF? Sometimes the cost is pretty crazy by comparison and it's a tough call to make.

Well, I've said this enough times that people are probably already sick of it, but I always prefer the detail materials if possible. I don't think there is anything wrong with WSF if you don't want to paint the model, but the frosted detail materials are just better to paint. I mean, WSF is so coarse that dry brushing looks horrible. Maybe it's my personal painting style, because I like to utilise a lot of dry brushing.

I do think the frosted detail material is worth buying, but I really hope in future that the price will come down so that's more affordable. It's really nice being able to see the extra textures on the model that would be lost on the WSF material

[Patrx]

Interesting! I kind of like the porous property of WSF when it comes to painting, (including dry brushing), but I am very much a novice in that regard anyway.

[sauroid]

very cool Anzu, TQ.

[tyrantqueen]

Thanks guys.

Here are today's acquisitions:



I have not read the book in its entirety yet but it looks good. Although I find the CG models to be poor in comparison to the rest of the artwork in the book.

Dinoland 1/20 "striding" Tyrannosaurus rex, by Shinobu Matsumura.







This one can be tricky to find, so I am even happier to get one that was unpainted and includes the box and instructions

[Patrx]

Wow, that model looks to be pretty spectacular! D'you plan to assemble and paint it?

Of course

[Invicta Hunter]

Very nice rex, how much did you get it for?
