 One word of warning about the kinto. The bottom of his feet is sculpted, making them somewhat round underneath. He stands, just so, but if bumped even slightly, he's down. And hard. I did not intend to repaint him, so when I discovered that numerous tippings were leading to scratching, I was sorely vexed, and glued him to that little base you see there, solving the proble. I will not paint him, but he is no longer pristine.   The base is from Wal-Mart. You can get various shapes and sizes, starting for under a dollar eacc. I just spray painted it black, but I suppose if one really wanted to, you caould sand, stain, and varnish it. It would certainly look pretty sweet that way.

He is almost as tall at the hips as the Bully apato is, and just about as tall as the camera is at its shoulders.It is a bit taller, and far longer than, the mamenchisaurus. Though it is much thinner, and does not way nearly as much, but that is accurate for the real animal. |

On a similar vein, many like my Papo allo, but seem to think it is purple--ish. I do not get direct sun out back at any time of day, so as an experiment, I went out front today, around 3, and put the allo in direct Arizona sun with the following result:    the Teton now awaits applause, expectantly.... I am pleased with the result of this little experiment, and may from time to time post a pic or two of others. If there is one figure you want to see, let me know, and I will do it. |

Wow! nice collection, and there are some really nice repaint jobs there too! I wish they sold big sauropods in the museum here ... a lot of those look really good.

Hey teton, have you ever tried doing some dioramas?  I notice you have some trees and stuff at the end of the parking lot, you could take some there. You photographing skills would make them even better too. |

Superb collection there Kevin. A lot of work gone into this, really unique. I love your repaints ......... the Invicta TRex is brilliant.
