Saw the Diictodon pair and the Protochirotherium on Deviantart, damn gorgeous work as always.

Lone Trike

Thanks for all the feedback on the Proto and Diictodons! I really appreciate this!
I´m sorry for the long brakes between my posts. I´m tying to get back in the habit of posting more frequently again. You can also find me on Instagram now at Lonetrikestudio, where I want to give more insights on the process of current projects.

Here´s a render of one of my current projects. A juvenile Aquilops americanus. I was neglecting this little guy for quite some time, but finished the sculpting stage now. Next step is 3D printing. This is gonna be a lifesized model kit eventually.

Your Aquilops is most impressive.  I like the relaxed pose very much.  A least "life-size" won't be too huge for this dinosaur!  And I must get into the habit of visiting Instagram more.

avatar_Lone Trike @Lone Trike The aquilops has been great. I highlight this figure and it is not usual among toy dinosaur figures that this aquilops is in a resting or sedentary position. Usually most prehistoric animals and in this case dinosaurs are made in active postures. It is good to see a dinosaur in a passive or sedentary position.

Another great sculpt, love the pose.

That looks great. I like the pose a lot

Thank you all again for the great feedback!

avatar_ceratopsian @ceratopsian the model will be roughly 50 cm in length. And thanks for following me on Instagram :)

avatar_Shonisaurus @Shonisaurus Thanks, glad you like it! Another benefit of the sedentary position is that I probably won´t have to construct a base for this guy.

I seldom visit the forum anymore. but a friend let me know about your most recent sculpt. What are your plans regarding this one....will you eventually perhaps offer a printed version for sale ? Have you considered rendering a few other poses and offering at smaller scale in a printed format? I would definitely support this model and buy what is available in that regard...quite excited to see someone break the mold and do something truly unique and less common or mundane. Feel free to message or drop me a line, but if you need some backing to make this one a reality I am all in !

I too would be interested in a smaller scale.  50cm isn't huge - but it is too big to squeeze into my cabinets, that's for sure.

avatar_amargasaurus cazaui @amargasaurus cazaui and avatar_ceratopsian @ceratopsian Thank you very much for your input! That´s helping me a lot.
The plans for the Aquilops are to mold it after all parts are printed and make it available as a resin model kit. Actually I did think about setting up a shapeways shop. Since I´m moving more and more towards digital sculpting, it would make sense to offer my models in a smaller scale as 3d prints. So the bigger life-sized and 1:20 models would be exclusively resin model kits, while I could offer smaller versions, possibly as a selection in different poses, as 3d prints.
What kind of scales would you be interested in?

Here is something I worked on while the Aquilops is being printed. I know, yet another Triceratops! But I really wanted to make one in a bigger scale. I plan to make this a model kit as well, probably scale 1:20. Though I´m not yet settled on the pose and could need some help! I really dig this simple walking pose. But there are probably a ton of Triceratops models out there, that have a similar pose. So maybe I should go for something different. The second pose I tried so far is Triceratops standing a little bit elevated with it´s front legs. But that´s nothing entirely new as well. For a popular dinosaur like Triceratops it´s really getting tough to come up with something new.

Maybe have it resting in a similar way to the Aquilops. I'd love a Trike that is stretched out, basking in the sun, but lifting its head up slightly like SenSen's mother Einiosaurus:


Or maybe trying to scratch its neck with a back leg. I'm sure someone here modified a Papo ceratopsian into a pose like that a few years ago. Does anyone remember who?

avatar_Lone Trike @Lone Trike - I am unusual in not being at all concerned about the scale of the model.  I like to know what the scale is, but I don't purchase models because they are in scale A or B.  For me, the overriding factor (other than whether I love the sculpture in question) is overall dimensions.  My cabinets aren't tiny but I don't like to buy anything that is enormous, as I want to be able to keep buying models rather than just one or two.  For me, something around the physical size of your Borealopelta is ideal.  I love it when the model/diorama comes in at around 30 cms - like SenSen's Camptosaurus and juvenile.  But I'm happy if the model is even smaller, like his pair of Dryosaurus or his Nemicolopterus.  Different poses are of interest to me to and I love dioramas with more than one animal of the same species interacting.  In short, I'm probably looking for a diorama that comes out at around 30 cms in length, or a bit less.  I occasionally buy larger things (like SenSen's Einiosaurus/Troodon diorama) but that is rare.

amargasaurus cazaui

  What would appeal most to me would be a set of poses offered for the model at around 3-5 inches,where a person could choose a small grouping, have them printed, and create a scene or diorama with them at their own style.

A ways back a friend of mine from the forum took a digital file offered for sale on a site, and altered the models to be printable...(tyranntqueen) and in doing so we then had access to multiple scales, poses and such for a few animals....I chose to buy the files for Psittacosaurus, Archeoceratops.and Undanoceratops. After choosing size format and number of figures, I selected some poses and she printed them for me ...they were then sent to Martin Garrat who painted and based them , creating some of the most unique models i have seen for this genera of dinosaur.
(as seen in these older threads)

Strictly my own thoughts again but a model around twelve inches in length would be a nice space filler in a collection and would serve as a nice middle point between smaller and a more spendy life sized model. I am a thorough enough collector that I would likely purchase both ...i seldom pass on the more unique ceratopsian things offered
As for poses, you might check some of forum member Aaron Doyle's poses he utilized for a psittacosaurus I helped with some years back. They may still be on shapeways, but he had a few standing poses, a resting pose, and even a eating from a tree above type pose.I have images of the various poses made into a single diorama again by Martin Garrat within the links I posted.

I would certainly be interested in several animals differently posed at around the 5 inch length per individual animal (subject to availability of an artist to paint and build the base etc).

avatar_amargasaurus cazaui @amargasaurus cazaui I just set up a Shapeways shop and uploaded my Aquilops model in different poses. The scale is roughly 1:5, so they should be within your 3 to 5 inches margin. Though I had to use a low resolution version of the model, due to the file size restrictions. But all the tiny scales would not be visible anyway at this scale. I hollowed the models to save material and cut the costs as much as possible. I think the versatile plastic is priced quite reasonable.
Well, let me know what you think. If this gets enough attention, I might add some more models and poses.

avatar_ceratopsian @ceratopsian thats good to know. I think 1:20 is a nice scale for mid sized dinosaurs like the Borealopelta. I will definitely keep that scale in my lineup.

avatar_Justin_ @Justin_ thanks for your input! I will add the Trike to my Shapeways shop in different poses for sure. As for the model kit version I´m still not sure yet...

I would very much like if you would produce the two above Triceratops models in 1/35 resin.

amargasaurus cazaui

Been examining the model on Shapeways and working on a plan.....
  I believe I will buy three or four of the models, and have them printed. Today I closed the remaining question what to do with them when I heard from an old friend.....Martin and Marilyn from UMF models. Martin was forced to close back in March due the epidemic , like so many others. During this time he has been battling a rather crippling fight with arthritis, that has left him unable at times to even work on projects.
  After much medical testing and so forth he is doing much better although his que for work is being kept at a lower pace to allow for his problems with the arthritis. 
  Marilyn has an open spot for the project whenever I am ready so I will be sending them off to Martin for full paint and basing ....
For those who are familiar with the models Martin does, you already know what to expect, and for the ones who dont' you can see some of his work he has done for me here....

Studying the poses and sizes and models you have on your shapeways is there any possibility to submit a few of the poses or alter the lying down one to have a few variations to the posture so that I could produce a small group of adults + a few juveniles either resting on the ground in a group or perhaps in a small grouping, being watched over by the more mature members of the herd? If it were possible to do a few poses in a smaller scale as sub adults it would make for a nice diorama...
  I perfectly understand if that's not something you wish to toy with or put in the effort doing, as time consuming and not beneficial for your work...but figured it might be worth asking. I don't sculpt myself so I am sure I lack any concept what might be involved or what I am asking for here to be sure.
  If not or you don't wish to generally offer a smaller subset, I believe it might even be possible to set it up where its only limited to myself if that's a  concern..or you might wish to just open them up for general sales as well....

    Once I know for sure on that, I will progress to order my models and have them printed.
