Horridus Collection [New Favorite soft models]

[robustus_]

Still a really awesome and inspiring collection. I love little Mount Maniraptor!

[brontodocus]

Dust on the Shinzen Tyrannosaurus... hmm, was it inspired by the Dromaeosaurus skeletons at the NHM (at least how they looked last year)? Nah, it isn't that conspicuous at all and I have a few figures here that would need a bit of a dusting more than this . By the way, from that angle it reminded me of... you'd just need a small rollercoaster for model railroads (I believe Faller made one) and you've got your avatar at home in 3d (well, almost).

Can´t get enough of strolling through all those new shelves posted here in version 2.0!

Marc, you need to do this, you know...

Sorry to dredge up a photo from page one - but what're the little raptors facing off between the Bullyland Velociraptor and the Carnegie Caudipteryx?

They're the Safari Ltd. AMNH Feathered Dinosaurs Toob Velociraptor (left) and Sinornithosaurus (right).
Too bad these rollercoasters for model railroads are quite expensive (between €100 and €150) but I'd really love to see a photo like this - and I guess Marc would win any possible future diorama contest with it instantly. No, I'm not going to buy one myself. Really not. It's Marc's avatar, not mine...

Oh, that hint is just too tantalising... 

[Tylosaurus]

What scales are the trceratops carcass and the therizinosaurus?

They're in the 1:50 - 1:40 range.

I remember someone often saying things like "ah, the feet, it's always the feet with me" (if only I could remember who said that )...

I have no idea who you mean.

Yeah, I do like the feet on that one, but I also really like the feet on the original JP rex, believe it or not. I think they're nicely done...

By the way, this pic turned out well but...ouch, the dust!

That one reminds me abit of your avatar Horridus It's a very nice T-Rex too btw, it's an impressive detailed model likewise   
What's the scale 1:15?

[brontodocus]

Oh, that hint is just too tantalising... 

I thought my post might have some potential to turn into a boomerang so I had to stop myself immediately... As a side note, the Accoutrements "Horrified B-Movie Victims" go pretty well with this figure, too... time to revive one of my DTF v1 avatars...

What's the scale 1:15?

No, it's rather between 1:20 and 1:24.

[Simon]

The scale on the Shinzen Sega Red TRex is about 1/24.  Its 22" long down the spine...

[Tylosaurus]

Damn that's a nice scale heh, from what year is it, I am gussing its from 2007 but I may be mistaken It's one of the nicest large scale T-Rexies I have seen so far

Dunno about the colors, they are always a guess Flat Gull Gray with Light Gray would of been my colors of choice

[brontodocus]

Yes, 2007, Horridus has reviewed it here:

I get mail.

Krentz T. rex painted by Niroot!



Safari T. rex not painted by Niroot! (But given to me by him. He had spares. Spare repaints. UNBELIEVABLE.)

[postsaurischian]

The blue Rex is gorgeous !!!

[Himmapaan]

Was there any editing done on the picture, perhaps? *Asks the excruciatingly vain and needy painter* 

It's just that the colours seem to look flatter than I remember.  Unless I was wholly deceived in my work from the start. 

[brontodocus]

Congrats, Marc! Niroot, I believe the differences between your photo here http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,66.msg1070.html#msg1070 and the one Marc posted can be explained easily by different lighting, white balance, camera, and background. The difference is clearly there but it's still obvious from both pictures how brilliant your paint work is and especially how much care you take in every of your customizations! By the way, on Marc's photo it reminds me even more of Luis Rey's artwork.

[Tylosaurus]

NIROOT PWNAGE!!!

Very nice Nitroot!
This is really nice work, and grats Horridus!

Steve Irwin Mode :

Crickey ! Would you look at that beauty! Ain't she GORGEOUS! ! whoo hooo Tyrannosaurids RULE!!!

[Himmapaan]

...Thus is my foolishness confirmed and magnified.    Thank you for the kind words and my apologies.

*Crawls away to hide*

[Gwangi]

Beautiful work on that Tyrannosaurus. Such a unique choice of colors that really work. Marc, have I told you how truly envious I am of your Tyrannosaur collection? If not than I'm saying it now, I'm truly envious of your Tyrannosaur Collection. It just keeps growing!

[brontodocus]

...Thus is my foolishness confirmed and magnified.

Foolishness? No way! The difference is there and you've noticed it. We are all very sensitive and self-critical when it comes to our own work and that's because of a commitment to excellence. I have no doubt you would have immediately thought of the differences in the photos being caused by different cameras, lighting etc. if it hadn't been your own customization.
