Full scene concept , 2 Coelophysis attempt to partake in a Postosuchus kill ( prey to be determined ) Was going with Plateosaurus..



adding Apoxie Sculpt


detail of snout, feels very Dilophosaur/Spinosaur-like.

I wish I could visit your park, it's incredible the amount of work you've put in it.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Thank you!  Yeah even I get exhausted thinking of it lol

And the Dilo is DONE..pardon the pun! ...and the rhyme!

[Jose S.M.]

That Dilo looks amazing. And I like the photo, looks very real.

Thank you! Had a lot of fun doing it.  I took a bunch of pics but just picked out the one.  https://www.facebook.com/ChrisKastner1982/media_set?set=a.10211018076904411.1073741884.1129456954&type=3&uploaded=18

Was 65 or so today with clouds, the clouds really hide the glossy look the vinyl/paint has. 


Here is the pair of them, mother and son?


Juvenile has been tweaked to match with the adult, the concept is the green is only in the young, as they mature they change color/patterns.

Coelophysis head with light reflective eyes installed.

[Lanthanotus]

While I am not a friend of lipless carnivore reconstructions (and therefore also cut off the teeth of my Safari Coelophysis) I still find that head very well done and finely detailed. Will all that be still visible once the sculpt is primed/painted/varnished?

And, man, those Dilophosaurus are nice, especially like the paint job on the adult

Wish you a good season with lots of visitors that leave some bucks in the collecting box!

[Jose S.M.]

Beautiful work on that Coelophysis head!

[Patrx]

Great work Chris; the reflective eyes are an awesome idea 

While I am not a friend of lipless carnivore reconstructions (and therefore also cut off the teeth of my Safari Coelophysis)

Me either! As a side note, do you have any images of your modified Safari Coelophysis?

I'm glad you still like it, those teeth were a pain to get right! lol   I hope it all comes through, but I've learned you rarely see the fine details on living animals without  a very close view so either way we'll see. 

The adult Dilo was fun, been too long without one , I always chose to make a new species instead of revisiting.

I'm hoping that myself, we've had a slow start. 

Beautiful work on that Coelophysis head!

Thanks bud!

In honor of the 25th Anniversary of my favorite film i present a new project for the Dino Park.

[Mini Minmi]

Woohoo! Off to an excellent start!
For some reason I was convinced you already had one of those.

I have a juvenile Dilophosaurus painted in the JP colors from years back, it replaced an older foam one that is now defunct.  I did just make an adult/accurate Dilo for the park a month or two ago..so this will be my 4th "Dilophosaurus " but the first animated one..
