Hey you're good Nice colour scheme, did you make it up yourself or is it referenced from somewhere?

I hate bases on my figures so I can't help there sadly. But good luck.

i was loosely thinking of this - http://www.dinosaur-world.com/weird_dinosaurs/species/carnotaurus_sastrei.gif

but i just had in mind that it should be red... isnt there proof that this dino was red?

and thanks... im learning as i go

[Sharptooth]

Slightly better than before, if i may add

Red is a really popular color choice for Carnotaurus, but as far as I am aware, it's not based on anything particularly scientific.

Yeah thinkng about it I dont know why I thought there was evidence.
They do look right red though.

The original JP Carno was red and black. I noticed that after that toy came out, Carno's were typically those colors. Then of course, Disney's Dinosaur was released, and the Carnos in that were red as well. As Daryl said, they just look good in red...

Beautiful.

Thanks

Really lovely! I actually quite liked the yellow snout, but the final one is just as good.

[Gryphoceratops]

Awesome job!  I too thought the yellow on the muzzle was cool in its own way.

[Bokisaurus]

Very nice

Beautiful detailing on the face! I wish I could do have that good a job on my Tamiya kits.
