Ikessauro's Collection

[postsaurischian]

 


  I really love that Parasaurolophus! And the Stegosaurus is adorable, too. I'd buy both if I could.
                                                                        The Oxalaia is also a very lovely model. Congratulations for these rare beauties !

@Ikessauro Have you seen his upcoming Arcrocanthosaurus model? It looks incredible! Wonder how much it will cost tho.

I really just want that lungfish that the Oxalaia is holding...

Yes, Guilherme usually posts sneak peaks of his sculptures on his Facebook page and Instagram profile. The Acro is already finished and is in the painting stages. Here's two shots taken from his Facebook page.

Starting my Carnegie Collection, here's 1988 Stegosaurus.

The Bilinski Parasaurolophus is one of the most beautiful resins I have ever seen.

Next on my Carnegie Collection, 1988 Tyrannosaurus rex. I manage to get three copies, each one with a slightly differing paint job in some aspects. I didn't intend to have three, but got them in lots when trying to complete my Carnegie set. Each new one that arrived proved to be a kind of a variant so I kept them. At least for now.

First one

Second one - I love the bright orange on this one

Third and last rex


Then we have one of my treasured items, Brachiosaurus 1988 variant. I love how this one has kind of a purple tint to it. I have seen other variants in pictures with a more gray tone, but I love this one, reminds me of the JP Brachiosaurus in some ways. Depending on the lighting it appears more purple, specially up close. There's a paint rub on the leg and tip of tail that shows what might be the reason for this color. Purple plastic!


Adult Apatosaurus 1988


Baby Apatosaurus 1988 "German" Variant - Got this from Germany with the precious help of dear forum member @postsaurischian Looking at this in person it is a perfect match to the color of the adult, but I'm not sure why in my pics it looks more greenish than yellow underneath.

Baby Apatosaurus 1988 Also got this amazing variant from the fellow DTF member D @Dinoguy2 Although it doesn't match the adult perfectly, being more yellow, I do prefer it over the other one. Something about the combination of black and yellow pleases my eye 


Here's botht of them together


Parasaurolophus 1988 also has a few variants in my collection. Ended up with three, each one unique in paint application

First one


Second one


Last one


Also got three of the 1988 Triceratops


First


Second


Third copy


Last on the 1988 set, Allosaurus.


First variant


Second variant - This one came a bit dusty, it's got some sort of white dust stuck to the crevasses. I tried cleaning it with a wet cloth, but after it dried, most of the white dust appeared again.


Third Variant


Fourth Variant

Hello, Ikessauro! I noticed you posted on your Instagram more galleries of models, such as more recent Carnegies. Do you have a link for that pictures in a better quality? Sorry for asking, but your photographic skills are really good and Instagram quality is quite poor

How the heck you even get these things, and where the heck, and how come you could get so much for high extreme prices and still afford more. Are you like super rich?

P.S nice collection

Hahha, quite the opposite. I do not make a lot of money, that's for sure. I wish I were rich!  But I've been collecting for about 19 years now. Things accumulate I also am a single guy, no kids to provide for, so I can spend how much of my money I want in my dinos. That means I don't spend much on other things, like expensive clothing, video games, cars etc . I live in a quite small town where there's not many places to spend money at. No shopping malls, movie Theaters to go to, so I mostly live a quite simple life, my only luxury I'd say is collecting.

Nice Carnegie Collection! Some, like Miragaia, Carnotaurus, Caudipteryx or Tylosaurus (just to mention a few) are and will be evergreens .

People keep on posing that super-rich question to me as well, not taking into account that I have been collecting for almost 50 years now
and that a lot of those now expensive figures were pretty cheap in the past .

That's right. And even when you get something rare or old nowadays, with a little effort you can get a good deal if you look for it hard enough. I myself get lots of toys in used lots for really good prices.
