This makes me sad.  He had such good taste in dinosaur models too. All those Bob Morales build-ups... *sigh* |

All the Kaiyodo pieces make me cry..some are in such poor shape too...but they want too much for the few pieces that could be saved.

Yeah - they should have broken up the auctions - but I guess Slash doesn't really care about the little extra $$$ he could make selling them piecemeal. A hairdryer and some clear plastic support rods would do wonders for that sagging Kaiyodo Tyrannosaurus - looks like he has two of them - the one standing on both feet looks OK..... ...the Brachiosaurus may be beyond saving - there's no way to "unwind" that "Swan neck" it has ... |

Who'da thunk Slash was a dino model enthusiast?
Some beautiful pieces, here but mostly too large for my space. I see one or two I already have. Bob Morales lives out in SoCal, I believe, so no surprise he went to the best.
I saw G n' R back in the early nineties...
Wish I'd started collecting then too.

Thanks for the image and link fix Sbell , I had no idea how to correct it.
I would have given a 100.00 for the Chiodosaurus in the 3rd pic alone.

It's something I picked up from Picassa--often the lead http is actually http s, and the image won't work. Just delete the 's'. And yeah there are some nice ones--not overpriced even, but nothing I want bad enough to bother. |

I saw some..but I didn't like the turn around time..you win and they have to notify you, charge you, then get a separate company to pack and ship it..said it could take up to 12 weeks in the fine print.. crazy.
I'll keep an eye out for that https deal..first time I've had that problem. I figured the site just prevented linking or something.

Actually, Slash and Bob Morales were very good friends in the 90's apparently. Not sure if they still keep in touch, but I always wondered what Slash did with all the models he had Bob sculpt and paint. Now I know...  Combined with the fact that Bob is selling off most if not all of his dinosaur related memorabilia on eBay, it's all the more depressing. *And Blade, that Chiodo Rex would sooo be worth it. I'm having Land of the Lost flashbacks from the 90's.... |

Oh yeah...the Chiodo Bros have done quite a few dinosaurs...I particularly loved the work they did on the specials with Gary Owens and Eric Boardman.
