Figures by "Wild Past" (Updated 15.01.2020)

[Nimravus]

@ Dinotoycollector: what's your recommendation for the material to be selected  during the purchase? What's the difference between smooth fine detail plastic and the smoothest one?
Many thanks in advance  for your response!

I ordered the Tenontosaurus (hollow, although there wasn't as much of a distinction in price between that and the solid one that often occurs on Shapeways.) and I'll post pics after it arrives and is painted.

Then the next question becomes, is it somehow available without the dinosaur part...any Mesozoic mammal is worth trying to get!

@SBell
I could do this and it would be much cheapier I think. The exact same model in 1:35?

@Nimravus
You will see a difference on the smooth surfaces. As I know the smooth fine detail plastic gives great detail with a bit of "fuzzy" texture. The smoothest will give you a really smooth surface, where it is meant to be. It gives you exact the model I created. Since the Protoceratops and Raptor Dance are meant to be organic creatures and not airplanes or cars, the "Smooth Fine Detail Plastic" should be great. I think for the Protoceratops you'd only see a difference on the beak (and maybe eyes and claws), since this pasrt is not textured and is meant to be smooth.

@triceratops83
In fact, there isn't a huge difference in price for a purely practical reason: the Tenontosaurus is only partially hollowed out. The figure and the animal are perfectly balanced (in the solid form) for quadrupedal and bipedal locomotion. When hollowing out it unfortunately happened that the figure lost more mass in the front part of the body due to the length of the tail. As a result, the model unfortunately always tilts backwards. That's why I was only able to hollow out 1/3 of the trunk plus the whole tail. By completely hollowing it out, another $ 2 less price would have been possible, but the figure would always have tilted backwards. I hope this is understandable

It took me a while to decide on whether to get the solid or hollow version, since the solid was only a couple bucks dearer, but only went the hollow one because everything else I've bought recently is hollow. The price is a great deal either way.

No disrespect on your Protoceratops, but I'd buy it with just the mammal as well! 

[Shonisaurus]

@DinoToyCollector By the way, I see that in the tenontosaurus there are two solid or solid versions, one white and one more expensive, dark in color. How are both solid figures different? Why is the solid dark version more expensive?

[stegosauria]

@Shonisaurus the difference in price and colour is based on the difference in the material. I didn't order anything from Shapeways but white colour is the main colour. Probably it's cheaper or easier to handle while printing or just simply it's easier to pain it later.

[Shonisaurus]

S @stegosauria I understand. Thanks for the clarification.

I thought I'd share this here. Credit goes to D @Dino Scream3232 who did a review and painting video for the Tenontosaurus.

Gorgeous Wild Past Tenontosaurus and Gorgeous Painting Tutorial. Thanks to @DinoToyCollector and D @Dino Scream3232

[Remko]

I already have the "Velociraptor dance", but just ordered the Protoceratops female and the Tenontosaurus from Shapeways.

Looking forward to add these to my collection!

[Sarapaurolophus]

Now I can't wait to order my Protoceratops.

I chuckled. Thanks for the review!

[Remko]

Oh wow! That looks fantastic!

I received the Tenontosaurus and female Protoceratops yesterday. Beautiful sculpts as well.

Hopefully they will produce Deinonychus as well.

[Shonisaurus]

It's fabulous! and apart from that a dark sauropod! It is to celebrate that they make extremely rare figures. When will the magyarosaurus be available?

Oh, Hello!

Also, it is nice to see the painted Models of D @Dino Scream3232 and @ceratopsian on the Wild Past Website It is so nice to see, that this small Production gets so much Love. I am glad to witness this.

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

Oooh, I've been hoping for Transylvanian dinosaurs!

[Remko]

Oooh, I've been hoping for Transylvanian dinosaurs!

Well, they are already working on a pair of Tethyshadros, so here's hoping for a Hatzegopteryx in the future. 

[SidB]

I love how the Magyarosaurus, while fully contemporary in its sculpt, also has kind of a retro Invicta look by being unpainted, well-detailed and graceful in presentation.

[ceratopsian]

I'm very happy indeed to see a Magyarosaurus.  I like the look of it too.

I felt honoured when Wild Past asked to use my photos on their site.  I think it's a good idea too to show customers how something looks "real" and painted rather than just as the computer-generated image on Shapeways.
