Paleochris's collection

[paleochris]

Hello !

After a few months on the forum, I finally open my topic to present you my collection.

I live in France, near Strasbourg, I started in 2018 and I have 128 pieces so far.

For me, the most important is the realism of the figure, its details, the fineness of the sculpture and the scientific rigor if possible. I am not a fan of JP toys at all. My favorite brands are PNSO and Msée Studio. Unlike others, I like resin statues as much as PVC figures and I like to mix them on my shelves as you can see on these pictures:











I will try to make you better pictures of each piece or new acquisition !

Love the display, P @paleochris . By the way, which part of the house do you have room for this extensive sheling? Is it for all to see who enter, or more of a private showcase?

[Libraraptor]

I am deeply impressed!

Thank you S @SidB  ! It's in my old teenage bedroom at my parents' house upstairs so it's a little private. I don't have enough room in my apartment at the moment. I spend a lot of weekends there so it allows me to take care of it.

Wow, some wonderful collection you have here. Do you plan on taking any close up shots of each shelf? I see some beautiful pieces that I do not recognize.

P @paleochris Wow! Your collection absolutely dwarfs mine. I see you have extremely good attention to quality.

Certainly an impressive collection. If you don't mind me asking, what is the chubby frog in the lower right corner of the picture with the marine animals?

That's a bit unconventional, maybe, but I like your  flexibility. Thanks for sharing.

That's a nice display space! Some highly sought-after pieces in there, impressive you managed to hunt down those Sideshow statues, for example, given that you started collecting quite recently. Like you, I'll shell out for resin statues or model kits from time to time, but I differ in that I usually only do so for species that aren't represented in ordinary plastic.

Looking forward to a closer look at some of your shelves!

I was lucky because I found some in France, where the sellers were not conscious of the prices on ebay, I got them cheaper. I bought 2 or 3 more expensive ones via groups on facebook too. I still miss a lot of them.
Thank you @Halichoeres I read with great interest your reviews on the scientific accuracy of the figures (I bought the Dunkleosteus after your opinion).

Impressive collection. A lot high end models.

I also notice that there is at least some JP in it.

Yeah I have some JP style : T Rex Killer Queen from Rebor, the Spinosaurus from W Dragon or the Dilophosaurus from Rebor but it's mostly to show the different historical reconstitutions of these animals (for example for the spinosaurus I wanted accurate actual versions and one or two bipedal version) and to make sure that the movie that marked the history of the dinosaurs is still a bit present.

Spinosaurus was bipedal.

Yes @GojiraGuy1954 I wanted to say in accordance with the JP model of the 2000's then with the reconstitutions of Ibrahim sorry

What a spectacular collection, I'm in awe. You have an exquisite taste.

[Bread]

Those are some beautiful pieces you got there. Thank you for the stunning closing up images.

[Shonisaurus]

Nice figures. My congratulations.

[SidB]

Terrific display - less is more in this case, where a few pieces, adequately spaced and displayed, show really well.

[paleochris]

Thank you very much for your compliments!

My goal is to make a real little miniature Natural History Museum, I also have some real fossils that I mix with the figurines and I also collect modern animals.

I have a lot of kits on order and I still have a lot of PNSO to buy at the end of the year, see you soon for updates
