SHINZEN models

One day I hope to get one of the wonderful models made by Shinzen Takeuchi.
It's a pity you don't see them too often in the Western world.

I love the "Tyrannosaurus:Growth Curve" set

!

I like his work a lot, shame it's so hard to get a hold of. Does anyone know why this Tyrannosaurus sculpt has such a massive....bulge under its tail? Is it about to lay eggs or something? $:-\$ I know the base of the tail was supposed to be muscular, but I think this is overdoing it a bit.

Would love access to his pieces as well..aside from the mass market vinyls we occasionally get.

I honestly have no idea about that Rex. I recall seeing it before and I couldn't figure if it was a sexual thing, maybe portraying a sickness like a hernia or gout, or what really.

I always thought the Dinosaur King Sega Red Rex was a resculpt of it though.

Hemroids, I love the sculpt other than that. im hoping to have the 5 pc t-rex set at the end of May. im going to see if a friend of mine can bring it from Japan with him and I will grab it from him there? wish me luck, and money lol.

Do you have to buy the entire set or can you pick and choose ?

If it turns out you can choose, I wouldn't mind getting the old rex and the young juvenile..it would make a neat diorama. The older watchful adult and the playful juvenile animal running around keeping him from sleep.. lol

Shinzen sculpted a feathered rex, I just found out. I might post some photos from his book if people are curious.

Yes, please

Okay, here is the fuzzy tyrannosaurus from Shinzen's book, Dinosaur Creation Project

He is adorable. Wish I had one

Blade-of-the-Moon · April 26, 2014, 07:24:47 AM

the feathering looks nice..is there a better shot of the head ?

tyrantqueen · April 26, 2014, 07:34:44 AM

Here you are

Sorry about the horrible scan, my dad's scanner is not good.

Shinzen is awesome

!
Do you know if this is his 1:35 T. rex in the comparison pic?

Not sure...it seems like a new-ish sculpt, because the book shows the progress he went through sculpting it.

Very nice. Would love to have both of those. I'm pretty sure that scaly Rex is new..it doesn't look like any of his previous work I've seen. I'm assuming they are a set showing the differences in appearance ?

Given your preference for larger sized models, the only thing you'd be disappointed in is the size. They're only thirty centimetres long

Patrx · April 26, 2014, 06:37:23 PM

Very cool! It sort of reminds me of John Conway's recent Tyrannosaurus illustration.

Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus · April 26, 2014, 10:38:23 PM

I love the feathered Rex!

That's around 1:40 so not bad. I do 1:40 and up. But 1:40 is the smallest I like to go.
