Hi everyone,

My name is Nick Fonseca. I am a new member/long time reader of the dinotoyblog. I wanted to share with you my recent Kickstarter campaign launch for my model of Deinonychus antirrhopus. I have already enlisted a mold maker, and this project is nearly ready to go.

Fantastic sculpture, Nick! I saw this magnificent critter on DeviantArt not long ago. Best of luck in getting the kit out there - it's the first one I've seen with primary feathers.

Were I a kit builder, I would love that sucker.  Good luck!

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your kickstarted :)


Pachyrhinosaurus

There aren't enough feathered deinonychus in kit form. I would buy this if it were available; great work.

Thanks a lot Blade-Of-The_Moon I appreciate that. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Pachyrhinosaurus, the kit will be available if this Kickstarter gets fully funded. I should have initial batch of castings from mold maker by June if all goes according to plan. My dream is to begin offering this and future sculpts to fans of paleo-art.

If you support the highest tier of his kickstarter you can get it built and painted by the artist himself. :)
