[DinoToyForum]

I pretty late on this, but that art, is amazing. Just amazing. Are you a professional artist?

Thanks !  Eh..define professional?  lol  I do artsy things for fun and money. 

Blade, your work continues to amaze. I'll have to visit some time! I just subscribed to your channel, by the way.

Thank you! It's not much I haven't posted on it in a bit.  Still figuring out videos on this phone and my time is pretty limited anyone, more redtape and county junk.

Yes, sounds like you're a victim of your own success.

I had just happen to live in a county where the strictest director ( dictator ) of planning and zoning  presides over.  Fire Marshal is on me now to pull all of our wiring.

it's all natural! lol

Well, I haven't started to grow stubble YET, but my dads was red, black, and gray. Hopefully the same will be for me

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Well the county pulled the power from the park.  Removed my meter and all.   After being told we had an extension, the inspector sees one extension cord and says no we can't have it.  He calls it in and a few days later the park is without power.   Never had a complaint or problem with power before.  Now I've had 3 inspectors out here 4 times in two months with others incoming.  My electricians are working to fix things now but we really need support to continue.  Please go here to donate :    https://www.gofundme.com/backyard-terrors-dino-park-electric  We have a donor who is matching everything donated up to 10,000.00 

[Halichoeres]

Bumping for more donations!

[Lizerd]

Wait this Is weird, why did they cut power? I will look into this more, hope you get power back soon

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

So the electricians were able to get power back the front of the park and the ponds.  They haven't run any to the Velociraptor Pen still and haven't run any lights to the dig site so no audio over the park either.   They sent me a bill last week. Just shy of 19,000.00 Our patron was looking at a max of 10,000.00 which I told them about several times.  Now I'm stuck trying to find funds to pay this.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I will be selling off some things, PM me if you've been looking for something I've too much to list really.  Will be looking for fair prices. 

[Halichoeres]

When I saw there was an update to this thread, I was excited to see new work on dinos, but to see you liquidating your collection to keep the lights on is a real bummer Sorry to see it's come to this, Chris.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's terrible.  We became a nonprofit/501c3 to pay for projects like this, one week after approval fire marshals and inspectors were called on us and it's just been downhill from there.  I wanted paved paths for wheelchairs and strollers..not sure when that will happen.  I started a JP Spitter months back but it's on development hell right now.

  I have some Kaiyodo, Schleich, Bullyland, Collecta, Malcolm Mlodoch dinos, Kinto/Dinostoreus ,  Tsukuda, Tyco I do have the Tamba sauropod, Dinosaur Train, Disney's Dinosaur,  The Good Dinosaur, a Sega Stego kitbash from Shane Foulkes, a couple Mega Bloks Dino eggs figures, lots of little odds and ends.

Not a dino but we did finally move out Big Mary and her calliope into a new haunt location :

   

Yeah yeah the anatomy isn't great but she's a zombie so... lol

[Halichoeres]

Do zombie elephants eat brains?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Do zombie elephants eat brains?

Just those of the ones that originally put her down..sorta a curse/zombie. 

She does have some local history :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(elephant)

Mine is an odd combination of traits from Asian and African elephants, sort of an " idea" of what an elephant should look like to most.. lol

Awesome 1:1 Epidexpteryx by Jay Carriere , I added a head crest myself. paintwork inspired by various woodpecker species. Coming to the Park this Spring!

[Lizerd]

It's awesome. Considering the fact that I do warhammer and see excellent painters, you are one of the best I have seen.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Thank you! I used to paint miniatures but my eyes, not so good as they were.  I'll get better pics later when we have some real sunlight outdoors.

[Halichoeres]

A little late, but that's great work, Chris!
