I was gonna say, there is definitely a resemblance to Hitchcock's model. Looking forward to seeing how this one develops.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Tone's been awesome in answering my questions, he's even made a set of teeth for this one for me. They look pretty amazing, I've seen teeth like them before.

According to the county that's a bad thing lol  Actually some of my other projects are stalled so I'm doing some other things. This whole quarantine isn't so bad as far as time goes to work but it does limit certain aspects, like getting help to move these big guys around.

So I have been annoyed with our Velociraptor Enclosure exhibit, after we were forced to remove the roof by the county I tried covering everything with green camp net and faux foliage. This past week I tore all of that out and redid some of the structures, I also moved the Protoceratops and nest scene to the exhibit.  Thinking "Velociraptor Canyon " with the whole area themed more desert-like. More on that later.

Having moved the Protoceratops scene out I have a nice 8x8' area for a new exhibit. I also have a life size Brachiosaurus head taking in space in my shop I'm getting tired of moving around. My plan is to put a bit if neck on this head and make something similar to this :



You can kinda see a sketch in the bottom corner here :


Which brings me to another decision. I want to make an animated piece to go with it, either Compies fighting over food or maybe baby Brachiosaurs?  the heads will pull back and forth in a tug of war motion.  I just can't decide which is a better fit.  To make it educational I plan to add a little signage on BIG vs small . Maybe with a joke in there as it always seems to change.. lol

You have been very beautiful prototypes of the new dinosaurs. When they are completely finished and painted they will be very cool models, the hadrosaur reminds me a lot in its shape of the toy Basel tsintaosaurus with the difference that yours is a thousand times superior in quality.

Thank you, I mostly used the Carnegie/Safari model as a reference but also tried a few other sources.

Finished the paint on Amber the Corythosaurus juvenile today, inspired by the Jurassic Park 3 coloration.  See her at Backyard Terrors Dinosaur Park www.backyardterrors.com

avatar_Blade-of-the-Moon @Blade-of-the-Moon You have been excellent I have seen the website of Backyard Terrors Dinosaur Park and I can only certify that the corytosaurus based on the film JP III matches in its art with the models shown on this website. Excellent result as always on your part. My congratulations.

The Corythosaurus is extremely attractive.  It's really come out well.

Looks absolutely amazing!

Thanks all!

I was actually wondering if my pics were working when shared from Facebook it seems the DA ones work best.

Kapitaenosavrvs

Just WOW.

I would like to write more, but this seems to be just right. Beautiful.

Corythosaurus is looking lovely, I've always liked that JP3 colour scheme.

These are definitely working better, for Facebook I'd have to select quote and manually copy paste a link into a new tab since the images don't load on the forum.

It's probably something on my end, I have software to block Facebook tracking which is likely interfering. Facebook can track you, with or without having an account with them, on any site that has an ability to like or whatnot that connects back to Facebook.

The extension doesn't mention anything about images, but perhaps Facebook somehow also tries to track people on other sites that their images are posted on?

I've basically known since thinking of making one it would be this color. It's so odd we have never received a figure of one, maybe it's too complex a paint scheme for most companies?

I recalled a few years ago a member saying something like " only people with facebook can see my images " which I was never 100% sure of.  I have posted a lot of linked pics from there, in my sale threads, here, and other various topics, no one ever said the images weren't working so I sort of just figured they were.

That's amazing looking. The blue coloration is really nice as well.

Thanks! There are 3 shades of blue in there somewhere. It actually scared the crap out of me..blue and green are VERY hard to make look realistic.

Shonisaurus

The cryolophosaurus has been a spectacular figure, I congratulate you for your mastery when it comes to making your figures.
