New pictures will follow soon.

..new acquisitions (and new pictures to take when my home studio will be finished).. 

[Shonisaurus]

What a rush it has given me to see all your new acquisitions! I thought you already had the hyaenodon from Safari. How lucky you are to have the Rebor smilodon, it must be precious.
You have the baryonyx and triceratops from Nanmu and the iguanodon from PNSO among other figures. The pteranodon Collecta looks immense, I am not aware of it and I have it in my collection. Well, I ignore the rest of the figures, what a beginning of the year. I congratulate you and I am happy for you.

Hello Shonisaurus, Happy 2022 

In the picture there is MojoFun Hyaenodon.
It's the striped version I didn't have:

2015



2017


Late 2017/2018



There is also the limited edition Memory Museum (by Sean Cooper) 1:15 Smilodon (Forest Version):



The Rebor one is " Club Selection: Meta the Hatchling Deinosuchus / Estuary " : I don't know if it could match as Deinosuchus but it's very realistic as a modern crocodile' hatchling (the main reason why I bought it..  ).

Thanks for the info. What two gaffes I've made! I have confused two figures with others that are diametrically different, when it comes to brands.

During last Holydays, I spent some time on my scanner, saving old photos and some vintage paleo-art from aging.
And I realized that there was a real watershed in perception about prehistory.
At least for me (and maybe for my generation).
Even more than Spielberg' Jurassic Park movie, it was BBC Walking with Dinosaurs.
Nowadays pictures like these seem "normal":




Those are "real" animals in a real enviroment.

It's not about realistic computer-generated dinosaurs.
For me it's all about scenario.

As a child, my idea about prehistory was a sort of wonderland, a "distant" land with saturated skies, erupting volcanoes and strange, "alien" forests..
Something like this:









The first time I saw BBC WWD, it was a shock for me.
It was all about the scenario.


I suppose that old depictions about prehistory came from 1940 Disney' Fantasia "The Rite of Spring":

 

 

 

 


Probably the first image I saw as a kid about prehistory is this one:



It's from 1965 Disney' Primeval World Park.

A dark sky, an effect light, an "alien" forest: it's all about that.


And from the same Park, I loved these ones (expecially the last..) :






Probably everyone knows Disney' Primeval World; if not, here a video:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/51750056677/in/album-72157658952490681/


And perhaps the ancestral image of Edaphosaurs could suggest you something else  :   



At the time, movies had the same "visualization" about prehistory:

(1975)







These are the images of prehistory with which I grew up (and still in my collection and in my mind..):

(1976)

























This type of imagery linked to prehistory also remained in the eighties:





Then, on 1999, Walking with Dinosaurs changed everything:

Thank you very very much for this wonderful Post.

For me it's all about scenario.

This is the most important thing to me. Maybe sometimes i would say, atmosphere is the most important thing to me, but Scenario and Atmosphere are quite.. familiar with each other i would say :D

I grew up in another time than you and with other prehistoric Pictures and Worlds. But the classic stuff was always there and i loved a lot of it.
Thanks for the collection of great pictures and paintings.

Oh. I had the Invicta Poster in my Room as a Child. I always had the urge to touch the Back of the Trike, because of the structure on its back :D must be hours upon hours i was comparing Dinosaurs from books to the ones on the Poster. And with other Figures (And Invictas of course). And so on. Great. Thanks for this short trip back in time.

[Shonisaurus]

Thanks for the post. You have made me remember the best years of my life, when I was little. I see that you are my age so you have had feelings similar to mine regarding dinosaurs and for me Disney Fantasy to give an example, when I was four or five years old it was a before and after my life since since then I loved dinosaurs and the world of prehistory.

The prehistory book you mention is from my childhood days and I grew up with it too. I remember that cover with the triceratops, unfortunately the entire collection of books that made up that series along with the book that you have shown was given to the son of the buyer from my parents' apartment along with all the vintage dinosaur books.

Indeed, I agree with you, the WWD series was a before and after paleontology together with JP.

As visible in this thread, I love retro dinosaurs.
And lots of Schleich figures have (totally unintentional) retro-vibes..

The "Victorian Gallery" is beautifully done.  Very well judged!

[Bokisaurus]

Just catching up now that I'm feeling better.
Really enjoyed looking at your photos from the past as well as these artwork!
They really are something to look at and makes one really appreciate just how far we have come.
I wish I still had some of my old postcards.

Really excited to see you back posting again, it's collection thread like your and others that really is what I frequent these days... just beautiful photos of models, excitement and appreciation.
No drama 🤣 cheers!

[Shonisaurus]

You have not published in the DTF for months, it is honestly exciting to see your new addictions to your collection. On the other hand, you are great at photographing your figures (you even explain it in a forum thread on how to photograph dinosaur figures). What memories all those retro drawings of the prehistoric world bring back to me. On the other hand, my congratulations for having acquired that great iguanodon from PNSO.

Wishing you a fast recovery and all the best.
And I totally agree with you: on my opinion DTF needs more "postsaurischian thread" and less drama.
Kind Regards

Absolutely, I totally agree  As long as there is space, too, for my often badly photographed and quirky stuff 

Seriously, the collection threads and the Recent Acquisition thread are the ones I am visiting most. We need much less drama here on the forum

[Duna]

I loved  your thread about "scenarios". I agree 100%

Another book from my young age I turned into digital during Holydays.. 


It's called "Viaggio nella Preistoria" (A Voyage into Prehistory), it's from 1977 and it's more a booklet than a real book.
I was fascinated by its illustrations.
They are taken from an old movie (1955) "Journey to the Beginning of Time" by Karel Zeman.
If you don't know the movie, it's a sort of "documentary" about a time-traveller group of boys..
It was really accurate for the time:
