Caspakian's collection

[caspakian]

Here are the Trcic T Rex or is it supposed to be Daspletosaurus? and Triceratops. These two models were assembled for me by Shane Foulkes and given a faux bronze finish.

Fabulous collection of models Caspakian!

Man, you are soooo lucky...*drools*

I admit, though, that I find that Trcic Rex's pose to be bizarre. Is it doing karate or something?

The T Rex pose was patterned after a famous painting of a Daspletosaurus kicking at a charging ceratopsian (I believe a Styracosaurus). The painters name is John Gurche. It makes a lot more sense if you put the Triceratops in the same photo frame about to collide with the T Rex on the left side.

They are all beautifull models, it's really an amazing collection you got there!!!
I think my prefered one is the Baryonyx from Shane.
His new version of it is on my "to get" list as soon as it's available!

Here is a snapshot of my Joe Jusko original painting from the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel The Land that Time Forgot. Sorry about the glare.

Here is a snapshot of a group of unpainted models on my top shelf. From left to right, we have a Cretaceous Creations Stegosaurus (partially painted), CC Dicraeosaurus, a Giganotosaurus by Jorge Blanco, a CC Styracosaurus, a Paleocraft T Rex (Gwangi behind!) and a CC Parasaurolophus.

Wait until you see the bigger one. I have another one that is very similar in pose, but about 3 times the size!

Here is my Cretaceous Creations original unpainted Torosaurus. Actually, it is about 98% original. The lower jaw was lost after this piece went out of production. Shane sent me a lower jaw from his 1/15th Triceratops. I had to fit it up as best as possible.

Dave you should send me the Cooper t-rex so i can paint it up for you , the Blanco Giganoto too.

I just added this original Jerry Finney sculpt to my collection. It is called Clovis Hunter vs Smilodon. I also have the production rights to this piece and it has been long out of production. I would like to know if anyone is interested in a casting of this piece. If I get enough interest, I will have molds made of it. The price of the model would be around $80 plus shipping. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks...

Oh I love it

it's a beauty but 80dollar,,is to much

I don't know how you figure $80 is too much. This suggested price is less than the original issue price 10 years ago. At this price, I would be lucky to break even on the cost of the sculpture, the mold making fee and the casting fees. If the castings are not in demand, no big deal. I will put the original in my collection and enjoy it. I was just trying to share with my fellow collectors and only charge enough to recoup the production cost.
Thanks for looking.....

I think $80 for a resin cast of the whole piece is reasonable. Though for me personally (and hypothetically), I'd be happy to have the Smilodon alone and do without the rest. 

[caspakian]

I agree. The Smilodon is the centerpiece of the set.
