Wow! Where can I get that Gallimimus?! Cool, long "fur"!!
Not fur protofeathers!
Too right. Not sure I like the length of them but that may be an issue of personal taste; slightly more troubling is that (dun dun DUN) it has a pronated forearm.
I wouldn't make the feathers on Therizinosaurus so huge either. Sometimes people seem to forget how large it was!
There are some other minor points - for example on Saurophaganax the horns should be in front of the eyes, rather than over them, and the neck of Lambeosaurus should probably be bulked up a little bit.

I know, it reminds of a Llama! LOL! Those new prototype are cool, really like the Lambeo
I'm calling it an Emumimus! Folks, check out their website at achesoncreations.com the primaeval tab, which has their current for-sale stuff. You can also join their Yahoo users group which is there on the website , to see up-and-coming models, etc and put in your opinion, like on the facebook link I posted earlier. Some of their models are hands-down great, some so-so, and some will inspire debate, as in the aforementioned gallimimus/emumimus. Anyway, with the demise of the Dinonikes line, this is another chance for folks to chime in on what they want to see and when they want it and have potential input on the design! Lotsa feathered dino stuff, if confused on how to get to the pre-production site, feel free to PM me.

Hey Griff, but what did you think of the paintjob? I've actually had this figure for more than a year and have just now gotten around to slapping some paint on it (it'sreally little). Maybe he's really busy right at this juncture; I'm sure he'll get to you eventually. Did you ever get that Tokugawa pachyrhino you asked me about a while ago?
Dude how do you keep getting those krentz?!?!?! I email him and get nothing!
Griff, you are not alone I share your frustrations
Dunno, a while back I ordered the Acrocanthosaurus/Teneontosaurus but I never emailed him, I just sent money with Paypal to his account and got them in less than 2 weeks. Money talks.

This is one of my works in progress:
The Hunter
The Prey
Hope to finish this over the holidays, stick it in a diorama, and get to some other projects. Just got a bunch of Acheson models I'm eager to get to, plus the new Krentz duo, an older (and huge!) Rader project, also I'm expecting some stuff from Galileo, and there's a Salas sauropod... Hopefully this will keep me out of trouble over the holidays, so look for some updates early in the new year!

Giganotosaurus vs. Allosaurus from Geenemodels.
You will notice the mandibles are missing. It's easier to paint those separately and attach them later. Interesting to see the differences between these two, especially the skull size, since overall they are similar in length. I already have a color scheme in mind for the Giga, but am open to suggestions for the Allo!

I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product!

Check out Todd Marshall...the Allo is in his beautiful " spikey " design and he's painted several already...if I paint one or have one made for me that's where I'll go myself.
