Read your post at Facebook Blade

After viewing the pics you posted of this art piece, I shared your work with your credits in our group Info & Collections of Dinosaurs & Minerals 
This is truly an other masterpiece from your end bud

Also I find your technique has improved greatly as well, keep going on man!

If I were a kid in your park, I would find it difficult to resist the urge to climb this guy.

Thanks bud, def trying to!


She has a few hundred pounds of rock on her base..but let's hope not!  They can give her a "fistbump" though..

Wow! What a great amargasaurus! I really like the color scheme! Well done!

[ceratopsian]

The Amargasaurus is a fabulous job. Quite amazing. If you were here in the UK I think I would be trying to commission you to build one for the top of our garden!

Good God is that amargasaurus beautiful, the colors are just really nice to look at. I really wish the dinosaur attractions around here had your level of quality.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Thanks guys!  I really agonize over colors and patterns, unlike with a smaller figure it costs me roughly 60-70.00 to paint a piece this size.   I took a little inspiration from art online and tweaked it a bit.  Getting hard to do something different every time.. lol

So I'm working on our about 22' long adult Dilophosaurus..I'm getting 6 and half to 7' to the top of the hip in this pose..that right?



I did shorten the neck there about 3" too in a slightly diff pose than this.

So i went back to the drawing board yesterday.  The image below is our sub adult Apatosaurus around 67' long.  Above the new Brachiosaurus I'm working on.  At 40' tall  it seems like it might be a bit too much for us resource and man power wise.  The smaller one below is 25' tall  still beating the Apatosaurus by 10' in height, but it would only be half grown..though much more managable.  I'm torn as to what to do?

Do you actually plan on building up these things? How big is your park?

[PlesiosaurusNessy]

Very cool new dinosaur art ideas, good luck for constructing them! Your Amarga is an outstanding piece of dino sculpting art !!!

Do you actually plan on building up these things? How big is your park?

Well I'm considering it, that's why the plan.  I actually started on the 40' Brachio's head already, but just doing the head I'm running into materialvs weight vs stress issues.  Our park is on 6 acres.  The Apatosaurus of course we did 2 years ago.

Thank you!

[Reptilia]

Congratulations, never realized how big your park was. Must be a hard work to keep it going.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Thank you,  yeah with one person 90% of the time and a handful of volunteers it's getting to be pretty difficult.  Aside from maintenance though and building new things it almost runs itself.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

yep Dilophosaurus was certainly bigger than i thought...

Coelophysis Pair: Our first Triassic dinos!

[Halichoeres]

Yes! The Triassic is where it's at.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's a start... a very early start, some might even say the beginning...

I honestly don't know nearly as much about the Triassic as I should.   Mostly due to popular media ignoring it for the Jurassic and Cretaceous  I guess.

My original concept called for a pair of Coelophysis trying to steal a bite from the kill of a Postosuchus. Said kill being a Plateosaurus with a leaving specimen in the back maybe escaping.  That I've since learned may not work out.
