Gwangi's Collection (Group Shots pg. 7)

Looking at your awesome collection displayed openly, I was just wondering how many times you dust or clean them.

TIA!

Thanks for the compliment and to answer the question...never. I dusted them when I moved to my new house but aside from that I haven't at all. They seem to remain fairly dust free which is strange because I have cats and a dog. I suppose the day will come when I do need to dust them. The electronics on the other hand...

I'm afraid I have no interest in a Schelich Dilophosaurus. You can make a trade/sell thread though and advertise it there. Someone else might want one.

Will you trade the DOC Yangchuanosaurus for a prototype and an end product of your chose from my company? If you will pm me, and tell me the ones you want from each( proto and end) if I haven't designed it yet ill make a design. Please! I am desperate for that Yangchuanosaurus! Please!!!!!

When you have your model made, then we'll talk. Until then I have no interest in discussing a trade with my Yangchuanosaurus. Watch eBay, you'll find one there eventually.

Very well, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself!

Collection update. A few new figures but I'm mostly updating because of my new shelf. I didn't like my dinosaurs scattered around the house and was keeping an eye out for shelf to display them together on. My wife found this one and another at a yard sale and they're exactly what I was looking for.



I'm annoyed that the Tyrannosaurus skeleton has to be displayed with the sauropods but it would only fit on the top shelf...same with those Brachiosaurus so they had to be together.

Nice

Very nice display Gwangi. That is the piece I am always struggling with...display them as groups ie. Hadrosaurs, stegosaurus, anklyosaurs, sauropods, marine life, etc. Then I find myself isolating certain brands like Kaiyodo, Tsukuda, and boxed Battat, etc. I like how you have yours organized.....wish mine would make more sense to me.

Thank you and yes, I agree. It is difficult to figure out how I want them. I would love to try grouping them by brand, when they lived, scale or any of a number of other methods but ultimately displaying them by relatedness is the easiest option and the best use of the space I have.

I keep looking for the shelf with godzilla and the other "almost " dinosaurs in there.I wound up having one of those for dragons, creature of the black lagoon, etc . Another complication I ran into is all the based dinosaurs I have had done...while gorgeous to display they tend to suck up the space fast. Your collection seems to fold right into that shelf perfectly

My Godzilla models are with my movies and movie collectables along with a huge alien queen with prey that I absolutely love! Yeah, I could not be happier with that shelf, I'm glad my wife picked it up, she knew exactly what I was looking for. I have another a lot like it that sits empty...room to grow I guess!

Indeed. When she first told me she found shelves for my dinosaurs I got a little nervous but she pulled through alright.

I know the question isn't aimed at me...but I have to say Jobaria is probably my fave CollectA model, ever. Maybe because I'm partial to the awesomeness that is a rearing sauropod, I dunno

It's not the most accurate (the chest area should have been bulked out a lot more) but I still love it.

Also, Gwangi, looking at this photo:



it sort of looks like the Jobby is trying to mate with the Carnegie Camara
