Re: Tiger-Velociraptor (Safari) « Result #3 Today at 11:44pm »
If only the movie Nedry had one, instead of a useless fake shaving can. "NO WONDER YOU'RE EXTINCT, MOTHERf**kER!" He would also have swapped roles with Sam L Jackson.
That's a demonstration of how the toy line was made alongside the movie - they didn't know what the actors would look like! I mean, they always make action figures more ripped anyway, but just look at that Dennis Nedry. Although wasn't Wayne Knight one of the first people cast? And yes, he didn't have a water-spraying cannon.
The water spraying cannon was to combat the dilophosaurs' spit.

It's not that dinosaurs are birds, it's that birds are dinosaurs. Highly evolved and derived dinosaurs. The K-T event wiped out all of them (dinosaurs) but a small group of generalised fliers with toothless bills, able to feed on a variety of foods. It's a shame, as the bones of T. rex look very cool.
Okay here's the page I'm on. When I go outside I'm most likely to see humans, then dogs, cats, raccoons and opossums. Yes I do see birds too but not more frequently then mammals. I actually don't see insects that often except maybe in the summer time. But I don't see birds as being more successful then mammals or insects more successful then birds. It's not how many you are but how adaptable you are. Mammals live everywhere birds do plus the ocean. Excluding man I'd say birds and mammals are somewhat comparable, except no birds actually live in the ocean. Therefore I have to conclude that mammals are more adaptable.
Dogs and cats- domesticated. Doesn't count for what I'm explaining unless you are seeing bobcats and wolves or something. And you really see more racoons and opossums than you do starlings, crows and sparrows? I find that very difficult to believe.
Horridus says: "compare that to starlings, blackbirds, great and blue tits, sparrows, carrion crows and magpies, ducks (mallards), Canada geese, black-headed gulls, goldfinches, great spotted woodpeckers, etc, etc..."
This is my point. Birds/dinosaurs have branched out much more than any other land vertebrate.
I don't see Bobcats or Wolves. an occassional Deer, Squirrel or Coyote but I really don't notice birds that much. Except downtown when the crows take over the building tops in winter to keep warm and crap on everybody. They've got a Hawk Sound that for now has driven them away.
You really haven't explained in what way Birds have branched out more then mammals. Also Dinosaurs still had alot of reptilian features so I don't see them as being full fledged birds anymore then I see Dimetrodon as full fledged mammal.
Also I think the fact that you are so involved with birds in your work, that this could cause you to lose objectivity.

Re: KEVIN'S STEGOSAURS « Result #7 Today at 11:32pm »
The Kinto soft? I bet not very many even have it. I have not been able to lay hands on it. ANd i will not be in a position to buy for a while now--massive med bills upcoming. I have the desktop stego, which is not shown here, and am still painting a galaxy stego. SOrry about the lighting, it looks a lot like rain out, not that we'll get any.
I like the look of that soft Kinto though, it is near the top of my favorites. I will point out however, that the desktop version does indeed sport a small throat pouch.

I love your repaint of the Papo Stegosaurus. It's almost unrecognisable.
I think you'd like the Kinto. Would you agree with the remark in my review that it's very few people's favourite dinosaur? *plugs own review relentlessly*

Back row, from left to right: Carnegie stegosaurus, WWD stegosaurus, Bullyland stegosaurus, Papo stegosaurus, Schleich stegosaurus, Battat stegosaurus. Wild Safari 08 stegosaurus
Front row, left to right: Invicta stegosaurus, colerata stegosaurus, Procon lexovisaurus, Colerata tjuangosaurus, Kaiyodo tjuangasuaurus, ( yes, I repaint kaiyodo from time to time ), and another invicta stegosaurus...
Hey Jon, Big fan of your work love it! Was just wondering if you were going to finish your sarcosuchus soon? I cant wait to see the final product! Joe
Thanks!
I too, am looking forward to seeing the finished product on that one...
The Sarcosuchus has become somewhat of an opus for me, so I have been working and re-working details on it until I am 100% happy with it. It's going to be quite a piece when I am done with it. I am hoping that I can have it ready early this year (maybe by March). Don't worry, though, when I am finally finished with it, no one will be able to miss the announcement!

Re: SELF DESTRUCTION « Result #21 Today at 10:48pm »
I had no idea what this was all about and then I decided to check out the 6 page AVATAR thread for the first time. Now I see. Al is very opinionated and sometimes he gets out of hand but he means well and if he gets too out of line he will usually apologize afterwords. At least that's just my experience. Judging by the people involved and the topic I'm not shocked at what went down.
New rule- Keep your dang political opinions to yourself please. No good will come out of it.
I will argue and argue and defend my point to the DEATH if its about dinosaurs, how to care for an exotic animal or something else thats non-personal. Politics? I wouldn't debate that subject with a 10 foot pole.

I'd argue that mammals are more adaptable too. After all we are on land, in the sea, in the air (a bit) and on the Internet. Dinosaurs only ever made it on land and in the air, and never invented a global communications network unless it was wiped out in the apocalyptic events of 65 million-years-ago.
Mind you, most of us mammals would probably go extinct tomorrow if there was another K-T. Curse those specialised ecological niches.
Although I must admit that going outside here there are few mammals to be seen, save a few domestic cats. They mostly come out at night, and I know there are hedgehogs, squirrels, badgers, foxes and deer. And rats and mice. Mind you, compare that to starlings, blackbirds, great and blue tits, sparrows, carrion crows and magpies, ducks (mallards), Canada geese, black-headed gulls, goldfinches, great spotted woodpeckers, etc, etc...
(I'm adding more birds to this as I think of them.)
Nasty PM's and an overly conservative avatar enthusiast...
Yeah, I found it in the Members bit. Awful business, I did like them both. Even if Al and I had rather differing views on certain things, I liked having such an angry, passionate figure around the place...as long as it didn't get personal. Which, unfortunately, it did.
Can we call him The Incredible Al now? Or He-Al? Al-Man?

Re: New Paleo Artist! Styracosaurus Sculpture!!! « Result #27 Today at 10:23pm »
I'm UK in origin! And I'd love one of these. Eventually. When my student loan next comes in. Even if £54 is more than I can afford, really. I'd only spend it on booze.
