My projects for 2015.....Xiphactinus 3/8/15

[yankeetrex]

Just wanted to share with you guys my kits to be finished in 2015. Any updates will be placed here.  Today i filled the gaps on all of the dinos and resculpted in the details. The para and ptera are jp toys that i thought would make perfect repaint candidates. The grey rex and trike are from galileo and pegasus.  The big sick trike is from galileo. The gallimimus is from tsukuda, and the rex is a recast horizon from ebay.  Soon the pegasus spinosaurus will be here......

Looks like you have some great pieces lined up! How hard is that Tsukada Gallimimus to track  down?

How detailed is the underside of the Geene Models Sick Triceratops?

I'm really excited, that gallimimus took me 10 years of lost ebay auctions, and heck I begged on here numerous times to try to find one, haha, to then finally find it on an obscure online mexican hobby shop. Got it for 75 USD, and I know its worth way more then that.  Galileo just made a decent comp for the tsukuda, and those are more readily available.

How detailed is the underside of the Geene Models Sick Triceratops?

The underside is pretty much flat, I mean i get why he'd do it, but it would have been nice to have even the flat side fully detailed. I can take a picture if you'd like




New addition to my workbench.......Very pleased with the size, much bigger then I had imagined.

Wonderful projects! I love the spino

Thanks for the info! Don't worry about a pic, just curious. Thought about this model myself, but lying on its' side, might have difficulty finding room for it - it'd be too wide for a bookshelf, right?

It depends, I have mine resting on a shelf I bought at Home Depot, so Im assuming the shelf is of an average width, and it just barely fits. 

I primed most of the pieces yesterday. Just have the triceratops today. Once that's finished I'll post an update

Is that a Xiphactinus under the Spinosaurus?

Yes it is, it's a pretty Knarly fish

[Arul]

Epic !

I want it just for the fish! Xiphactinus is a terrifying creature and it's surprising it doesn't turn up more often in toy/kit form.

Tonight will be pics of the primed horizon rex, the sick triceratops, and the redone pteranodon. So excited about these, never done this many at a time. Probably never will again, lol.

Wonderful  .

triceratops83, I too wish Xiphactinus was used as a subject more often, such a cool fish.

I'd hate to see one in real life, though. You can deter a shark from attacking, but these things just look crazy dangerous.
