Ack, you are redoinf the pachy and brachy? What about the others? I was just about to order all of them, but will save my money if updated versions are going to be released.
Also, I actually prefer the smaller sized models unless there is a lot of detail.

Baro vs. Allo would be a neat project to attempt! Probably really expensive via Shapeways, but hey...you never know;) Thank you! I will have to try the little 1/144 to go with Davids...I am horrible at math, lol! Someone give me a formula about how to divide the dinosaurs real length to get it to these sizes. I've had some math people in my family helping me with that. Then to find Shapeways spit it back at me and say it isn't printable! Thats why you'll notice fat frills and a little bigger than it ought to be...SW keeps saying its to small and thin to print the delicate parts. So I have people wanting 1/40-1/50, 1/144 (tiny little micro dinos!). Yeah, the Para and Brachy will eventually be redone. I may pull the Eddie as well because I'm not happy with how they are printing that frill. But I will put him back up once I fix the frill issue. The others can stay as I think they look nice. I will probably pull the other 2 (Para & Brachy) this week from shapeways, so I would hold off for the updated models. The ones coming up are in this order: Olorotitan, Lambeosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Brachy...whatever other Hadrosaur I love:) Then some steggies!

I want to clarify that by smaller figures I mean I like figures in the 4-5" range. I haven't bought any larger pieces because they cost about $40, and for that price I could get one of Galileo's resins which generally seem more detailed that the shapeways figures.
What about the brachy do you plan to change?
I made a mistake ordering from shapeways a few days ago (bought the larger figs instead of the smaller ones) and although they could not give me a paypal refund, they did cancel my order and gave me a coupon for the same amount I originally paid. However, the catch is that I have to use it in a month. How soon will new/updated models be released? EDIT: I actually have a year to spend my coupon, nevermind!
Also, don't forget corythosaurus! And maybe a nice saurolophus after that? Then a maiasaura. Can't get enough hadrosaurs!

I better order the para then ;D Yes, if it was't for the expensive price of the larger models, I would have gotten more Maybe one day soon Shapeway will make them more affordable. Can't wait to see the rest of line, Angie!

...... I may pull the Eddie as well because I'm not happy with how they are printing that frill. But I will put him back up once I fix the frill issue. ..... You're definitely right about Eddie's frill problem (see pic). I never wanted to mention that because I like it so much what you're doing, I wouldn't dare to complain . Can't wait for the Olorotitan, Lambeosaurus & other Hadros!! Oh .... and did I mention that I do love the larger 1:50 versions ;D?

I wish I were able to get all of your current versions before they are discontinued. I have several, but not all of them, as far as I can remember.

What are they made out of and are they solid or hollow? I've never heard of Shapeway before.

You can choose the material. Mine are white, strong & flexible (nylon , I guess). The larger ones are hollow, in order to reduce costs. Shapeways produces and sells objects virtually designed and sent to them by anyone who's able to do so. Angie's shop is here: www.shapeways.com/shops/3dcreatures

hi angie
to get the animals to scale take the animals length times it by 12 to get it in inches, then divide by the scale of which you decide to put it in. to convert inches to centimeter for shapeways multiply the inches by 2.5. 1 inch is aprox. 2.5 cm
olorotitan 39 ft in 1/75 scale can also be used for anatotitan and saurolophus angustirostris (asian species), parasaurolophus tubicen
39 x 12= 468 468/ 75= 6.24 inches 6.24 x 2.5= 15.6cm
in 1/50 scale
39 x 12=468 468/50= 9.3in 9.3 x 2.5 = 23.25 cm
in 1/144 scale 39 x 12 =468 468 / 144 = 3.25in 3.25 x 2.5= 8.125 cm
parasaurolophus walkeri 33ft also applies to corythosaurus, lambeosaurus lambe, tsintaosaurus, parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus (short crested), lambeosaurus magnicristatus, kritosaurus
1/75 scale
33 x 12= 396 396/ 75 = 5.28 5.28 x 2.5 = 13.2 cm
1/50 33x 12=396 396/ 50= 7.92in 7.92 x 2.5 =19.8 cm
1/144 33 x 12 = 396 396/ 144= 2.75 2.75 x 2.5 = 6.875 cm
edmontosaurus 43 ft can also be used for charonosaurus
1/75 scale
43 x 12 = 516 516/ 75= 6.88 6.88 x 2.5= 17.2 cm
1/50 scale 43 x 12 = 516 516/ 50 = 10.13 10.13 x 2.5 = 25.8 cm
1/144 43 x 12 =516 516/ 144= 3.58 3.58 x 2.5 = 8.96 cm
brachylophosaurus 30 ft works also for the following maiasaura, hypacrosaurus, tanius, velafrons, saurolophus osborni (north american species)
1/75 30 x 12= 360 360/ 75= 4.8 in 4.8 x 2.5= 12 cm
1/50 30 x12 = 360 360 / 50 = 7.2 7.2 x 2.5 = 18 cm
1/144 30 x 12 = 360 360/ 144= 2.5in 2.5 x 2,5 = 6.25 cm
lambeosaurus laticaudus 50 ft also can be used for shantungosaurus
1/75
12 x 50= 600 600/75= 8in 8 x 2.5= 20cm
1/50 50 x 12 = 600 600/50= 12in 12 x 2.5 = 30 cm
1/144 50 x 12 - 600 600/ 144= 4.167 4.167 x 2.5= 10.42 cm
gryposaurus 27 ft and prosaurolophus
1/75
27 x 12 = 324 324/ 75= 4.32 in 4,32 x 2.5= 10.8 cm
1/50 27x 12 =324 324/50= 6.48 6.48x 2.5= 16.2cm
1/144 27x 12 = 324 324/144= 2 .25 2.25x 2.5 =5.625 cm
ouranosaurus now considered a hadrosaur 23 ft
1/75 12x 23= 276 276/ 75 =3.68 3.68 x 2.5= 9.2 cm
1/50 12x 23=276 276/50=5.52 5.52 x 2.5= 13.8 cm
1/144 12x 23=276 276/ 144= 1.92 1.92 x 2.5 = 4.79 cm
I believe this covers most of the well known hadrosaurs i did leave a few off but mostly lesser known species.
fo a simple way for 1/40 scale. the figure size in inche is the exact same as the animals size in meters.
olortitan is 12 meters so the figure would be 12 inches in 1/40 scale. it works for all the other the same. to get in cm multiply by 2.5.

I recently ordered Angie's set of Hadrosaurs, but an email was sent to me stating that the Parasaurolophus could not be made. Should I try to re-order it, or will it get cancelled again? It's the one I wanted the ,most, so it would suck if I couldn't get it.

Just re-ordered the Parasaurolophus in black strong detail. It looks like white strong and flexible has been removed from the Shapeway website. I hope there's no trouble with this one.

Thanks guys!!!!! And thanks for sharing pictures of the figures! Its nice to see them in different materials and I love seeing how people color them too. Wheezy, thank you again. You are amazing. This will help me a lot. Jeremy, sorry again about the problem with the Para. Shapeways pulled that material because it didn't print. I'm not sure what the problem was as it has been ordered in that material many times before. Like I said, SW varies in ease of use and there are so many issues it really can cause headaches. I'm hoping as time goes on it will improve. Its still a new method of creating models, so there is bound to be issues. I will get an email from them if your new order bounces back, I'm waiting to see if it will print in that material as well. Although the model will be retired soon, I still want to know why it was printable before and all of a sudden is not. Here is my Olorotitan base mesh! ;D Can you guys look it over and see if it makes the grade? Any anatomy problems? I thought maybe the beak should be more delicate, but I just couldn't find any refs for the front view of the skull. I went ahead and rotated the front "paws" so they pronate back. I think I will make this one the male, complete with sail and frill combination. Before everyone gets their hopes up, I'll have to pose the model and make sure it is printable thru SW. Usually, I have to go back and forth to correct things to get the model to print so this may take me awhile. I may have to make the sail and frill fatter. I still wanted to show you the neutral posed base model to see if you liked it. I am going to keep going on a different version to make a full model for my CGI portfolio, so he will next have scales, scratches, scutes, etc. and then color and other texture utility maps. So stayed tuned:) Then I will make him into a Lambeosaurus.

Personally not a fan of the sail thing going town the back of the neck. I hope that is what you mean by "male with a sail and frill", because if the female version lacks this feature she will be the one I buy I hope both versions have the spiky things down their back though. Will your new models be textured? Also: What are you planning to change about the brachy?

Post by Sparkleopteryx on Apr 9, 2011 0:45:47 GMT
Yeah, sail/frill combo is divided on who likes it. I'll keep it for the male because I do like the combo, but I will make one with just the frill as well for those who prefer the traditional look. No guarantee either will print easily. The frills are always having problems, hence the chainsaw look to the Edmonto:( So yep, there will be different versions. Textures (as in details...scales, scratches, etc.) won't show up on the little guys I don't think, but I will attempt to put a detailed model thru Shapeways to see what happens. At least for the bigger models. The virtual model will eventually be detailed and painted too. The Brachy (and Para) will just be updated with improved anatomy and some detail, maybe some different poses to. Thanks as always;)

Looking good! Finally, an Olorotitan for us Procon despisers (even though it's the only Procon figure I have). I know I mentioned this in David's thread, but any possibility of a Reign of the Dinosaurs line of figures?

Post by Sparkleopteryx on Apr 9, 2011 1:00:02 GMT
Hadrosaurs are the best!!!! Glad you guys like him, I can't wait to paint this thing! I have no idea on the Reign of the Dinosaurs figure possibility. If there is you can be sure I will own the whole line....twice:) Thanks again guys!

Thank you for the response, and also thank you so much for making HADROSAURS! *trumpets blare* Hear, hear! I have to remind myself that when you say 'frills' in this case, you're referring to the dermal spines. I keep associating 'frill' with something large, flaring and connected with the head -- as in the frills of ceratopsians, for instance. At any rate: again, it's looking glorious and I would get both versions if you do decide to do both a male and female. ;D Looking good! Finally, an Olorotitan for us Procon despisers Despisers? I say, that's very severe. I have no great passion for Procon/CollectA (and likewise only presently own their Olorotitan), but I have no reason to ' despise' them. ;D
