My Dinocave

Hello!
In order to present my collection I recently created a facebook page (My Dinocave). I update it step by step when I have time to take pictures of the model I already have or when I receive a new dino! On this page I created one photo album per manufacturor/studio in which I add all the statues I buy to them. You just have to click on the photo tab and then explore.
I started my collection in 2014. I think I have around 70 dinosaurs (resin statues + PVC toys like Papo ones).
The link is in my signature.

I just updated it today with a huge 1/20 spinosaurus sculpted and painted by Cen Dao Yi:


Jose S.M.

That's a very impressive piece! The base is so detailed with the other creatures interacting, looks like a real environment.

Shonisaurus

That spinosaurus is fabulous. A true work of art. I congratulate you.

Roselaar

Excellent Spinoaurus, and a great cave you got there! Many high-end dinosaur collectibles, looking gorgeous. :)

Mackeral

What a great sculpt and paintwork!

I just added a new serie in my display: 16 action figures (1/6th) sculpted by David Silva from Creative Beast Studio:


I don't have yet them all. Sceneries and babies are missing.

Mackeral

What a joy to look at. I would fear the dust without doors, i assume that in that room cats don't walk in like in my 'display room'.  :))

Those figures of dinosaur raptors have cost you a good sum of money, I congratulate you on your acquisitions. They are fabulous.  :)

I have a special brush for that. I bought it on Amazon and it takes me hours but it is a pleasure ^^.

Here is the link for the brush : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B000Y8Y8RE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lovely display, these look wonderful all lined up together! My BotM collection are without a permanent display space right now, may take some inspiration from you here. ;D

Also following your FB page now, what a collection! Lovely diversity of models and your 'cave' is beautifully set up. Collecting goals for sure!

Halichoeres

They are an impressive flock! Thanks for the tip on the brush.

I have this ceratosaurus (from Sideshow) forseveral years in my collection but the small pteranodon was broken. I found a french sculptor who was able to repear it. I am really happy with the result and now I can place it back in my display.



The wing and the leg were broken.




And now it is repeared and I cannot see the difference before I broke it!

..the feather detailing on that SF Albertosaurus... *slowly pulls jaw back up*

Also, nice repair job on that pterosaur... but wasn't there supposed to be 2 of them?  (Oh no, Ceratosaurus already ate one...) ;D

Yes you're right: it is on the other side of the statue.

ceratopsian

That's a very successful repair indeed.

Weakling's have a Man cave. Real men have a dino cave.
