So, here is the other half of my diorama draumaturgical diad (a la Itchy and Scratchy). This ~1:30 resin Ceratosaurus model is by paleoartist Lasha Tskhondia, and was painted by the ebay seller I got it from. I want to stress, I did NOT paint this model, but it is a custom and now it's mine, so it fits in this category. I include Dinonikes' models , e.g., and others' pieces as well. So, I could mention the name of the artist, but I don't want to do so without his/her permission, so if you(the artist) happen to see this, let me know if you want me to post your name. Anyway, here we go: Again, I want to say, this not my work, but an original in my collection. I based my previous Cerato CM painting on this; where I wanted it to be similar to this model, but still have some individuality. Also, I want to give a shout-out to Pangolinmoth for giving me camera advice, so my closeups are not all blurry, as usual. Thanks, Pango! Lastly, the base and feet of this model took some water damage, as did the accompanying cerato model - the photo sessions were somewhat intense! Small stuff that I'll fix up sometime. But, that's a tale for another time.

It's really a great model, I like the simple pose.

A week or so ago, I was pestering the Recent Acquisitions boards asking for pliosaur identification, with limited response. I finally decided on Trinacromerum, and here it is again in all its glory: This was the original scenario, put together, painted and finished by none other than renowned paleoartist Bob Morales! More of Bob's work can be seen here; cgi.ebay.com/Dinosaur-Carnotaurus-Original-Sculpture-Bob-Morales-/190446343124?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c577c93d4I bought this piece on ebay and didn't realize it was done by Bob until after I bought it. He signed the bottom: I did change the turtle for a squid, maybe it works better? Anyway, I'm very happy with this piece! BTW, I'm realizing the base looks dusty in the photos, but it's not, in real life looks very nice. Plus, I used blue clay to hold the squid in place, which is mounted on a pin. I'll either switch out for brown clay or place a strategic seashell there eventually.

heh never heard of the guy, just some odd artist to me, this is probably the effect I gotten by being out of this hobby for over 20 years I guess, but yeah the art piece is well done, that Dolly looks sweet though But heah I would of left the Turtle in it's lace, just to keep it more original, maybe the artist had his reasons for that setup, tthat the Pliosaur would attack it from the side or hewas just being curious taking a look and then deciding to pass on. It's like looking at a painting really, alot of fun and idea's can be giving to the paintings looks and surroundings, nice piece this grats man

They're both brilliant models - the Ceratosaurus and the Trinacromerum! Congratulations! Love them . Did you find out more about the later? Is it a Kaiyodo as you supposed? I like it more in combination with the turtle, but that's of course a matter of taste.

How much did this piece cost you? I recall it was around 50 smackers or so; well worth it IMHO being as it is a unique piece by a famed artist.

Hello all, I was sick today with a cold and stayed home from work, but I was able to do a little painting. I don't know if Tokugawa's models have been featured anywhere here before, but I got a couple of them and this Camarasaurus is the first one I tackled. It still needs some detail work and a finishing coat, but this is basically what it will look like. The scale is 1:50 or 1:48. I realize the date is off, I just fixed it but didn't feel like retaking the pix. Here it is with Hans and a little cycad-type tree I built.

D'Oh! Oops, yeah, I neglected to state the source, as sbell has provided. Achesoncreations.com , and Craig (Acheson) was kind enough to answer all of my newbie questions in a very timely manner - anyway, I urge all of you folks to check it out; bizarrely enough, the models IMHO are even nicer in person than the photos on the website suggest - compare my photos to theirs - your mileage may vary...

That must be the Kannemeyeria! I have wondered what it looks like--and now I know where my next big order will be. Dagnabbit, I've been saving money lately.

I just found that AchesonCreations.com/Primaeval Designs has a facebook page! www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Primaeval-Designs/133058920060231?v=photos There is a gallery of many dinosaurs and other prehistorics, some available now and some coming up soon. Most of these are cast in resin, the smaller ones in pewter and are pretty cheap, i.e., the Saurosuchus above, which is about 4 inches long, is only 7 bucks! The scales range from 28mm, which I guess is about 1:50 or so, to 15 mm which is about 1:70. Anyway, check it out, here are just a few images of the "'greens"' (protoypes) from the page: Therizinosaurus Spinosaurus Short-faced bear Saurophaganax Lambeosaurus Gallimimus!!!!! The folks there are very friendly and I'm sure would welcome comments and suggestions about upcoming designs and which protoypes to put in the casting queue first. I vote Saurophaganax! Enjoy, and tell 'em Radman sent ya' !
