Hello everyone,
my name is Tasos, I live in Athens and  I study logistics . Please excuse my bad engish  :-[ . It has been many years since I started collecting dinosaurs .At first I was  collecting only papo but i expanded my collection as soon as I found the forum and read about the other companys.My collection is not very big though because of other interests I have and also lack of money , space etc. In addition I have been drawing dinosaurs ever since I was little and recently tried to sculpt one too.I'm very excited to be a part of your community . These are some photos that i took yesterday in the forest :

Welcome to the forum! I like your shots, they seem peaceful, if that makes sense. I'd love to see your dino sculpt

In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Really impressive prehistoric animal photographs - we to are also fans of CollectA models.  Super English by the way as well, better than our Greek.

Thanx for your comments :D . I will try to take some photos of my sculpts but they are made with foam and DAS clay which were not the ideal materials(I could'nt find anything better at the time) . So here are some more photos I took yesterday and some older ones (with another comera).I hope you like them:

Hello and welcome to the forum! Very nice pics. A few of those look like the background could have been right from the Mesozoic.

generic theropod

tiger shark

nothosaurus
They are not that good but I hope to make some better ones in the future :-X
Also this is an mb-cg concavenator (1:40) that I painted,drybrushed and made a base for it .

...and compaired to my hand

I hope you like it .Your comments and advice are wellcome.


Kayakasaurus

Cool! I like the shark a lot. Nice custom paint job as well. If you can get a better sculpting material I think you could make some really neat dinos

Thank you kayakasaurus and ARUL for your kind comments ^-^.I have bought some super sculpey recently and tried to make a monolophosaurus but the armature that I made was not sturdy enough to withstand the weight of the clay.I stopped trying to fix it because the prosses was very time consuming and I had to study for the exams :-\.I havent tried anything for a couple of months.

Well doing four legged creatures is always easier. If you're doing a bipedal dino though, you can have it lean on something or drill 2 holes into a piece of wood and then glue the wire armature legs into the holes. I've also found hot glue to be VERY useful. I would encourage you to try again when you get a chance  :)

Thank you Pachirhinosaurus.The concavenator is FUD so it's got a lot of detail.
