The return of an old member & friend :)

[Tylosaurus]

Where to begin, 

Some of you may remember me as Tylosaurus old DTF member and member of DinoWorld from Pilty and STS from Susanne & Roger
Well After some time I thought why not send the owner of this forum Dr Adam Smith an email;
Just to see if I could return and if not, no probs at all, I would of accepted his choice this is his place after all 

But that was not the case, I was accepted and given a second chance So yeah that made more more than "just happy 
Also happy to see the place is still running and that everyone is doing well.

Hope to stick around for a lot longer this time, also my great apologies to what I have done here :X
Thus I have returned and have learned from the past, we all gotta move onwards, so lets make the best of things

So alongside collecting Dinosaur models I have gotten in to collecting diecast aircraft models Airliners @ 1:200 and Jets at 1:72, this is it so far:


And as dino's go mostly play Primal Carnage Extinction & The Isle with communities I run and that I have joined
Kinda been running out of space to add more of them, still have some on my mind like the 2017 Velociraptor for Safari Ltd, love that one.


In the time I wasn't here life went on for my part as well, so for about 5 a 6 years I made my own Dino collecting community at Facebook named it the following:

Info & Collections of Dinosaurs & Minerals:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/DinoMinerals/

It's for people that collect Dinosaur toys models paleoarts and minerals.
this is also a place for paleontologists, paleoartists, Dino park owners, Dino & Mineral shop owners, Dino & Mineral forum owners, everything that fits the group is more than welcome.
And now having well over 1420 members does me a great deal, also many members from the DTF do great reviews Suspsy being one of them, great work bud, keep  em coming 

Rock on guys

[EmperorDinobot]

Welcome back!

[BlueKrono]

A pleasure to meet you. I love seeing members' other collections. I'm a huge fan of Curtiss P-40s myself - kind of tie in with dinosaurs with the cool faces nose art. Of the nearly 14,000 that were made only 28 are left, and last week I went on a road trip to visit two of those.

[DinoToyForum]

Welcome back. It wasn't just my decision, we put it to a vote in the staff room and the majority voted in favour of giving you a second chance. 

[Tylosaurus]

Welcome back!

Thank you!

Same version 2 forum as before - nothing's really changed apart from, perhaps, a few superficial tweaks here and there.

ITs been rough for me.     My Tastes have changed drmatically over the years. No longer am i the CollectA man.   

[Tylosaurus]

Well everyone changes Takama, even I did as the aircraft models go, as for dino's, Dromaeosaurs are my favored types, Raptors as some call em
Is Sepp still around? I remember her making me this drawing for me five years ago:


Here the Tylo she drew for me from a commission i ordered from her:


And here the little note she added


She was a good friend of mine as to many here at the DTF , I hope she is doing great, heck I even wonder how her paleoarts look like nowadays   

[Takama]

A lot of people came and went. Zopteryx just returened but a few have left.       

[Tylosaurus]

Hmm  a shame to see people leave especially they were ones you knew as good or best friends.
I don't think I remember Zopteryx man, about 3 a 4 years ago I had a heavy concussion, I have forgotten many people I knew or names of things I am supposed to know.. sorry.

I just listed him as an example.   Sorry about your concussion.     

I had some medical issues as well that put me in a loony ward for a week.

So instead of doing CollectA What brand do you do now or is it more of a mix of things lately?
