Introduction to Project/ General Business

[stoneage]

The last time I heard anything was February 7th.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

He just contacted me so everything's kosher .

For anyone else he said his comp has been in the shop..so if you've been trying to contact him I guess you will hear something soon.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'd like to make an update, Malcolm just emailed me with a tracking number for part of my order, it's been a long time coming, can't wait to finally see some of his pieces with my own eyes and not just on a screen.

Does anyone have an idea where Dinonikes is?!

If you have a question for him, let me know--I should be seeing him this weekend (I d**n well better be...).

[bat]

Sbell,
ask him about the mold of the Quetzalcoatlus (Tommy) sent him, I can't reach him either. It is vacation season so I am not suprised.

[sbell]

For anyone wondering--if you don't have a paid order in, you won't be able to place one. And Malcolm is trying to play catch up.

He has had other projects though:





clockwise from top left: Ptilodus, Aspideroides (or something like that), Borealosuchus, Champsosaurus, Champsosaurus, Atractosteus. They are part of a Palaeocene diorama that we are installing at the T.rex Centre. Of course, it isn't here yet...and should have been. But they look cool! And if yo are wondering, they are full scale--the croc is about 2m, and the Champ is just a little shorter.

Also, any of his in-development projects are on hold.

I don't know how that affects the Quetzal though.

[Griffin]

Wow that crocodile er Borealosuchus looks like its real!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Def some nice work..glad he finally found an awesome project to work on.

Dio prize?

So I made this 1/12 scale Dolichorhynchops model, which doesn't fit into the 1/40 or 1/20 line of figures-but i thought maybe i could get some feedback on it-it is still in a rough state-

I'd thicken up the base up the limbs considerably but the overall proportions are nice. The curvature along the spine between the back and the tail could be reduced a little too - the spine should be almost straight from the tip of the tail to the base of the neck.

Coelophysis
This well know from a wide fossil range at Ghost ranch. If is featured in WWD and WDRA so has a pubic recognition. It would go well with postosuchus, and desmatosuchus. Last serious toy figure, not UHA was Play Vision and it was too big. There are some metal figures QRF. I would also like a placerias. The Triassic needs some respect.

[Tylosaurus]

Hmm it looks like it's made of clay, what material are these models made of actually?

The actual ones are made of a polyurethane resin (or something like that). So they are tough, but wouldn't work as toys.

[Tylosaurus]

hmm ah okay, I see , great for modeling hehe, can't wait for the results on this one, I found some nice wall papers @ national Geographics of Dolly, a Dolichorhynchops that was also one the main characters in National Geographic's spectacle: Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure:

It's Finding Nemo, with a WOW! factor of about 100

here your sculpture in CGI


And here with a family pack of Dolichorhynchops' aka Dollies ;D

That first photo of Dolly makes it look like a Concorde jet taking off - BTW that was a great IMAX 3D flick that the above photos are from ...

[simon]

Are these models still available for purchase?

Yes, these models are still available for purchase, ones available are listed in the figure availability thread. I had to take a break from them for a bit, but am back. Adam has unlocked the threads and I will be updating with new stuff as it comes.

[dinonikes]

Started a 1/15 Tylosaurus, 1/15 Kronosaurus,1/15 Indricotherium- its sort of ironic that now that I have less room to work in, I seem hooked on making large pieces- but I am also working on smaller pieces too- 1/40 Moschops is just about done, 1/5 Ichthyostega too- am sort of in a sort of obsessive paleo sculpting phase-
