That Anchiornis is lovely!

Thanks

Placodus





The individual teeth all printed out nicely, although it's kinda hard to photograph.



The original file was purchased from here: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/placodusdr/89369/

1/20 Udanoceratops in WSF. Another ceratopsian joins the group





Normally I do not order in WSF materials because I have been disappointed in them in past orders. But looking at this print, it's not so bad. I remember there being issues where one side of the print was smooth, and the other was extremely raised and rough looking. I am not experiencing this problem this time. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe Shapeways improved their printing service.

Also, the tip of the tail seems to have chipped off, and they didn't inform me of it But it's easy enough to fix

As always, the file was purchased from here: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/udanoceratopsdr/86279/

  Cute Udanoceratops figure and nice movement.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Lol that Udanoceratops printed well....a face only a mother could love. Did the tail chip in transit perhaps or is the piece just missing , meaning they broke it while printing?

[tyrantqueen]

Thanks guys I don't think it broke while printing, because Shapeways would have informed me of it, and offered me a refund, as they have done with my previous orders. I guess it broke during transit. But it's not the end of the world

I might be misunderstanding but arent you using the "print it anyway" option for these renderosity files....?

Ah, I remember now. There was a case of an Arthropleura that had its antennae snapped off during printing. I forgot to check the "print it anyway" box so that must have been why I was offered a refund. It's a small box so sometimes it's easy to miss

Martyniuk books

[Patrx]

Fantastic! I need both of these books. I've not heard much about Beasts of Antiquity yet, any thoughts so far?

It's good. I like that he included illustrations of both males, females and subadults of the species. It's mostly pterosaurs but there are a couple of theropods. The book as a whole feels very polished

Is it heavily illustrated or are there just a couple of pictures?
I would surely get it if it had a good amount of beautiful art (which the Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds does, in my opinion).

The first half of the book is more wordy, and it describes in detail the history of the limestone. Then it moves onto individual species. I think there are about 13 species in total. Every species has a page like this:



But even the "wordier" parts of the book do have some illustrations scattered here and there. Here's an example:



I hope that makes sense

  This looks beautiful, thanks for the info!
