Great collection of Triceratops! nice photos too

Btw, is your Bandai Triceratops a custom? I ask because mine is on a different base, along with a baby.

Not that I know of. I've seen at least three different colours, but never one with a baby. I'd have got that one if I'd seen it!

Wow..epic Trike collection bud! Your paint jobs are nothing to deride either..I like several of them quite a bit.

I assume you have the Sideshow Triceratops Maquette on order...?

The first day it was available from Dan's It'll be nice to get one during its' run and not have to spend a grand on it like Trike vs Rex statue. Thanks for the compliment! The small details are the hardest because I don't have steady hands, most of them have wonky eyes.

Now that is some serious dedication!

Could this possibly be the most comprehensive Triceratops collection on the board? I don't think I've seen anyone with a bigger one (correct me if I'm wrong).

Have you counted how many you actually have?

[Dinomike]

I'm speechless!  A beautiful collection!

I reckon Boki might be ahead of me. Not including skeletons and bits and pieces, a quick count puts it at 122, just Triceratops and not other ceratopsians. I've got a 2015 schleich mini coming, as well as a few other things I'll post images when they rock up. Except for the Torosaurs, most of the other horned dinosaurs were bought pretty recently, what with Battat back, the awesome Safaries and Collecta starting to produce some great ones, it was a bit of a tease.
And Thanks to everyone for their kind words! Would like to hear how many of any one genus/family everyone else has...

Here's the answer to your question

I'm a doofus, I remember that thread now. Thanks!
Hope you all don't mind this, but here's a Trike I've got that no one else has...

I copied a photo of the senckenberg trike, then stylized it with shadow.

Eyes are a HUGE pain in the tail..you might consider trying taxidermy eyes to replace the resin ones. A bit of epoxy and your done.

You don't need to cut into the model to install them?

[Mighty King]

Excellent collection! congratulations!!

Yeah, you do. You have to drill out the space where the current eyes are, insert the new ones, and then sculpt a new eyelid around it.

Personally I love painting eyes so I'd never use glass ones. I always leave them to the last minute so I can see the model come to life with lifelike eyes.

[triceratops83]

Love the look of Taxidermy eyes, but no way would I have the confidence to install them. Might redo the eyes on some of the earlier models, I've had better luck recently using the other end of the brush, dabbing a spot of paint on. Don't know why I haven't gone back and fixed them yet. They say art is never finished, just abandoned - in which case I am neglectful

[tyrantqueen]

Do you use natural or synthetic brushes? For me at least, it became a lot easier when I started using natural sable hairs. They hold a point better than any synthetic I've tried. Just wondering
