^ Just what I was thinkin'...lol 

You know til I read that review of Shane's Torvo  in the new PT  I had forgot that he was going to a 1/35 Trike as well ..that could work out for me... ;D


A few of those 1/35 Triceratops could make a lovely herd diorama. I'd like to know how much this piece will cost. hmmm

Egg-xactly, ;D

( sorry was watching Son of Dinosaurs earlier..lol )

WOW! That looks killer. Is this something Martin has built himself, or is it a pre-existing kit? Also, if this is an original piece by Martin, are there any plans to make more?  :)

I picked it up from Gavin of myjurassicpark.com ..he also frequents JPL and the RPF as DinoCreator.  He does make casts for sale. This one Martin said would need a lot of work but he could get it in top shape... ;D  I've wanted a 1/1 JP Raptor since the movie came out..bout' time I found one eh ? lol

I plan to foam fill the back and add a pole so I can put it on a custom made display stand. I have a of faux plants to put it behind as well. ;)

I'm glad you finally found one to represent the first Jurassic Park film. I can't wait to see what Martin does with this piece.  :o

Man, you're lucky you actually got your kit, Blade. I've read a LOOOT of negative feedback for Gavin Robinson.  :-\

Same here ! Of course now  I need to find one for the male TLW version and then the JP3 male and female..it's a vicious cycle I tell ya ! ;)  ^-^

QuoteMan, you're lucky you actually got your kit, Blade. I've read a LOOOT of negative feedback for Gavin Robinson.  :-\

Yeah I was VERY hesitant about it. He seems to be doing better though. At least as far as member's from the RPF have said.  It was a little difficult figuring out how just to go about it, but Martin and Marilyn were a big help with that. It was good to have it shipped to him as well..from my experience a bad dealer doesn't like selling to those in his own country.  Gavin's biggest problem seems to be his need to start new projects and not finish old ones.  For every 10 his begins maybe 1 gets done.  So he gets out of materials and in over his head a bit.  Josh Hoover was the same way to an extent..he just paid bills with money intended for his pieces and then didn't have it to finish them.  Your customer has to come first if you want them back again.

Yeah, I've heard about his issue. How long did it end up taking for you? I'm reaaaallly interested in his Lost World T-Rex bust but I don't wanna have to deal with all the frustration just to get it. And I don't have anyone in the UK to send it to...Aaaargh! Sigh...

Took about a week after paying ..there was some issue with UPS pick up he said. 

You could have it sent to Martin for build/paint like I did. :)

0onarcissisto0

WOW! Only one week??? That's pretty damn good.

Well, the thing is that I wanna paint it myself lol. Oh well, I'll think about it.

I can understand that.  Hmm..if you didn't mind the extra shipping then you could have it sent to Martin, let him clean up and build it for you, then ship as is so you can paint it on arrival ?

If you do order be sure to get a pic before hand to prove he has it ready, then request tracking info as well no matter where it's shipped. ;)
