EarthboundEiniosaurus's Shrine To Dinosaurian Accuracy

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

I call this my shrine to accuracy because I don't just collect any dinosaur models, all the ones in my collection are reasonably accurate, although I will bend my own rules sometimes and buy one or two for the detail work (I'm looking at you PAPO). I try my best to keep this collection as scientifically accurate as possible, but none of them are 100% foolproof. This search for accuracy is why there are some groups that are underrepresented here, such as coelurosaurs and pterosaurs. There are also a few non dinosaurs in the mix, as well as my very small mammal and fish collections. I have an entire shelf of these figures, but these are a few close ups of my most recent buys, ill post the rest of my collection eventually.


Kaiyodo Pteraspis


Kaiyodo Acanthostega


Kaiyodo Liopleurodon


Kaiyodo Diplocaulus


Kaiyodo Megatherium


Kaiyodo Sinosauropteryx


Kaiyodo Axelrodichthys


Safari "giant sloth"


Collecta Rajasaurus


Battat Dacentrurus


More Battat Dacentrurus


Battat Carnotaurus


Schleich Kentrosaurus (This is the one Schleich i have in my collection, kind of a rare gem from them)


Collecta Ampelosaurus


Papo Tupuxuara, naked and proud of it I guess


Papo Tupuxuara from another angle, still naked


Carnegie Microraptor, although since we now know that Microraptor had iridescent black plumage this can't really be Microraptor anymore, maybe Changyuraptor?


Safari Ceratosaurus

I have more pictures, they'll be posted at a later date. Cheers for the time being

Thanks,

You have good taste!

[joossa]

Never seen the Collecta Ampelosaurus before. Looks real nice! 

[sauroid]

very nice collection.

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

Thanks all for the kind comments And joossa, the Collecta Ampelosaurus has quite nice detail, but the face has a very odd expression to say the least


Safari Suchomimus (Mine came with quite a lot of paint wear on the tip of the snout, but otherwise a great figure)


More Safari Suchomimus


Safari Dunkleosteus


Safari Dilong


Safari Iguanodon, a great sculpt with a not as great paint scheme and application, it's growing on me a little though...

More soon, my favorites from my Christmas haul are coming up

Thanks,

Nice collection!  I especially like the Kaiyodos! 

[Jetoar]

Really beutiful collection friend  .

[Patrx]

Very nice collection, Einiosaurus! I appreciate your  focus on accuracy. Cool photos, too, kinda atmospheric.

[Gwangi]

Great collection and photography. I've always admired those who collect based on accuracy. I can't do it myself because I'm too drawn to the weird, odd, and outdated dinosaurs to restrict myself in that way but it does make for a beautiful collection.

Thank you all for the nice comments I photographed them with my phone camera and a desk lamp, I have a camera but using my phone was a bit more convenient at the time. Anyway, here are a few more of the models in my collection, still haven't gotten around to taking a full group shot of everybody yet.




Safari Archaeopteryx, I'm a big fan of the coloration on this guy, the feathering is a little slim but plausible I suppose. A great figure overall though


Safari "Pterosaur" A personal favorite pterosaur model of mine, and thats says something, i'm very picky when it comes to how pterosaurs are reconstructed. I know this is an ornithhocirid, but does anybody know the exact genus? I remember reading about it somewhere...






Safari Shunosaurus, my favorite new Safari model for this year. Probably around the most accurate sauropod in my collection, that's a big deal when you have a collection like mine Great job Doug

More to come, thanks for the feedback 

[Halichoeres]

I could be mistaken, but I think it was supposed to be based on the Albian/Cenomanian pterosaur from Morocco, which was described as Siroccopteryx (Mader & Kellner 1999, Boletim de Museu Nacional, Nova Série, Geology 45: 1; Rodrigues & Kellner 2009, Zitteliana B28: 219), but has been considered by Unwin to be a species of Coloborhynchus (Unwin 2001, Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reiche 5: 239).

Ok, thank you

Good gracious it's been awhile since i've posted anything! Don't worry though, I haven't left, i've just been lurking, as well as being very busy with life. I have continued to expand my collection, and so I thought I would blow the dust off this old thread and show you guys the full extent of my current collection. I know the quality isn't the best, so please ask if you need help with any identifications (there are a few custom painted figures in my collection )

This is the current display atop my dresser, although it changes often, depending on what I feel like displaying (also ignore the piece of paper, I didn't see it when I took the picture )


Right next to my dresser is this shelf, which is kind of a random assortment (pretty much anything that didn't fit on my dinosaur shrine) with mammals being on the top, aquatic reptiles and prehistoric crocodylomorphs in the middle, and early tetrapods and ancient fish on the bottom (and birds because why not). That order kind of falls apart as you move to the left though, with my Primeval and spec evo stuff over there.


Better angle and lighting


(Triumphant music starts playing) And here ladies and gentlemen is the main attraction, my shrine to dinosauria, with Einiosaurus of course being in the middle.




And last is my shelf of dinosaurs that don't fit on my main display shelf (either because they're too big or aren't accurate enough)

[acro-man]

such awesome, very shiny, wow!

[Neosodon]

What's the therapod on the stand on the top middle? It looks really cool.

[ZoPteryx]

Wow, you really weren't kidding when you said you had shrine! 

I like how a number figures seem to be reaching off the shelves to bite the viewer.

[ITdactyl]

Now that's an awesome mix.

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

What's the therapod on the stand on the top middle? It looks really cool.

That would be the Dilophosaurus vs Yunnanosaurus Favorite desktop model. It's one of the only really good basal sauropodomorph models out there, but the paint job is a little sloppy I've actually thought of sending it to a professional to get it repainted (i'm not quite that good yet!)

[Jose S.M.]

Nice collection, and the display shelves look good too!

[Lanthanotus]

Never seen the Collecta Ampelosaurus before. Looks real nice! 

It's indeed a nice figure, highly recommended,.. however, it's a bit small (don't have it at hand at the moment, but it's like 5 cm high and 15 cm long).

Nice collection and display, I see a lot of figures I own for the same reasons (and quite a few I'd like to own ). Also nice intro with the Kaiyodos, can't go wrong with those, it's incredible what detail in form and color they packed into those tiny treasures.
