Joel's dinosaur collection UPDATE!! Shane's 1/20 Torvosaurus completed!

[Joel]

Because I have had a few requests for pictures of my collection, I am posting them here:
This is Shane's 1/15 Tyrannosaurus, painted by me (most of these are, but I based some off other paintings):

Here is Shane's 1/15 Apatosaurus that I just got from Darren (thank you again, sir), awaiting putty and paint:

Shane's Torvosaurus (I did not like the paint I gave it, so I stripped it off and will repaint it) and David's 1/40 Tyrannosaurus:

Some more (I am going to repaint the Camarasaurus, and maybe Shane's Allosaurus):

The Kinto Favorite Trcic Allosaurus, repainted by me to look like the one from Dinosaur Revolution, and Darren's Tyrannosaurus:

Faux bronze SideShow Tyrannosaurus and Darren's Tyrannosaurus again:

More:

I am still working on Shane's Acrocanthosaurus, and yes, that is a Keith Strasser Pachyrhinosaurus:

And the end of the cabinets:

Great collection, Joel!

[tyrantqueen]

Lovely, you've got a lot of statues/resins I wish I had

[deanm]

Wonderful collection!!!

[Tylosaurus]

Very very nice collection Joel!! You have some masterful resins there too, this yellow one looks cool:

Which is the Shane Foulkes Acrocanthosaurus Resin Kit, right?

What an impressive line-up! It must be an elevating feeling to enter this room .

Thanks everybody! My collection continues to grow; here is Shane's 1/18 Carnotaurus I just finished painting:

I was fortunate enough to find someone willing to part with his! I painted it similarly to the Carnotaurus (along with the Pachyrhinosaurus) in Dougal Dixon's book, The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures . I figured since it's such a strange dinosaur, it needs a strange paint job. Let me know if it's too weird. I plan on painting the Shane's Apatosaurus in the same style as the Lusotitan in the book, along with Krentz's Gorgosaurus like the Tenontosaurus.

Amazing statue collection. Far too classy for this forum! Any chance of some close-up shots of some of your favourite pieces?

I'm also intrigued by the JP T. rex sculpt - which one is that?

I'd love to. I just returned that camera to my brother in law (mine broke), but as soon as I get a new one, I'll post some more.

It's Galileo's 1/18 Tyrannosaurus. It looks like he does not sell it anymore, so I was lucky to pick it up when I did. Here is a shot of another one (presumably Galileo's):

That's right. I'm still working on it; I'm going to feather out some more small black stripes along the main stripes.

Very, VERY nice collection!

[Tyrannosaurid lover]

Well thats a detailled collection that I want have.

[ZoPteryx]

Wow! Those are some fantastic models, I really like the color scheme on the Carnotaurus!

[brontodocus]

  Now, that is a seriously lovely, wonderful collection, Joel!

[Tylosaurus]

He already said so 

Probably I didn't see it? Hello dyslexia ... somethings I just see over the head due to this  Sorry for that.

[Dyscrasia]

Awesome, yet expensive collection!

Even though I have all the SSC Dinosauria statues, I really envy those resin kits. If only I could afford them 

[Joel]

Thanks for the additional comments, guys!

Unless the shipping charges are far more than I expect to where you live (South Korea, right?), then you can afford them! They are about the same in kit form as the Dinosauria statues. To paint them, it just takes a bit of practice (don't try it if you are tired; you won't concentrate very well and the job will look sloppy).

I saw Martin Garratte's build up of the Monolophosaurus, and I thought that paint scheme would look great on the Torvosaurus! I hope you don't mind, Mr. Garratte!

It's with my Krentz 1/72 WIP dinosaurs. Those guys are tough to paint.   

[ZoPteryx]

Wow!  That looks great!

[Horridus]

Wow. I hope you give it a good base!

[Joel]

Wow. I hope you give it a good base!

Huh? You mean you don't like the 1x4 piece of wood I gave it? 

Wow!  That looks great!

Thanks! When I get time, I'll cast a piece of sandstone and mount him on it, sort of like the Sideshow Apatosaurus.
