My new dinosaur figure home

[Libraraptor]

Now that I´ve moved into my new house, I thought it was time to give my figures a new home, too. Unfourtunately this cabinet is already too full, the first dinosaurs are homeless again, standing on the roof ;D

[kikimalou]

Hey Libra, My eyes are old, my glasses too, could you share more closed up pics ? I can't recognise which dinos are eating your books...

What is that giant Hadrosaurid???

That is his life size maiasaur hatchling he got at a flea market for 25 euros(?).

Hey, Libraraptor! That's a very nice display case. Good job!

BTW, I'd also like to see some close-ups, if you wouldn't mind. ;D

[blackdanter]

Nice display case Libraraptor. Slightly retro looking, It'll go nicely with the Invicta's (Ah, Invicta's ;D). Did you make it yourself?

I'm thinking that I'll make something soon as I can't find anything slim and glass fronted that isn't floor standing (I want it to be fixed to the wall, a bit like a deep glass fronted picture frame).

[Libraraptor]

Soon there will be some close ups In the first entry I wanted to know what you think of the display as such. Ah, well, yes, this hadrosaur is a Corythosaurus I got on a flea market for 25 Euro (correct and very well remembered, Cordylus!)
I didn´t do this vitrine myself, I bought it - well - on a flea market. For 60 Euros, Cordylus, just for the case I´ll be asked about it later ;D ;D

[Libraraptor]

You see, I do not have a system. I randomly put them where there´s some space left.

[blackdanter]

Nice collection Libraraptor.

You have some really unusual figures there. I see the old style Schleich Allo, one of my favourites of the range.

Suppose I'd better post some collection pics soon!

[tomhet]

Schön! I see some Shreddies in there

Is that a Krentz Gryposaurus?

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

magnificent! Nice collection!


And nice diorama ;D You should throw one together for the contest ;D


And your pics have made me want the old schliech spino...

[kikimalou]

Thanks libra, I see that a lot of excellent dinos get acclimatized to Germany.

Congratulations to the shepherd.

What is the little guy between the Krentz grypo and the dimetrodon ?

[kikimalou]

And the spiny one behind the papo's pachycephalosaurus ?

He's the Psittacosaurus from the safari feathered dino toob.

I know there's a thread about him, I can't remember the exact species, but its an obscure figure from an obscure company if I recall correctly.

[kikimalou]

Thank you very much Theri.

Can we see a picture of just the spiny one?

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Hey, thanks for those close-ups, Libraraptor! There are some really cool obscure ones I don't think I've seen before. And, you look like you have a great sauropod collection as well!

As far as running out of room and finding new places to display them, I know exactly what you mean! I have my collection on one wall of my music room. Just last weekend, I moved some of my old record collection out to start a new shelf for my marine animals. They never really had a place of their own! I also moved some bins of sheet music off another shelf and hid them under my piano. If this continues at this rate, the music room, where I also teach private lessons, will be more like a museum! Oh well. Cool! ;D

[Tyrannax]

Wow! nice collection libra!

Do I spy an invicta troodon.

Nice display case. Gives me a couple of ideas for my next one as I am trying to convince my brother to build me one instead of him having to come to my tool related funeral.

I have been toying with the idea on having a suspended plexiglass "ceiling" with the pterosaurs lying on their backs so when I look up I can see them. Not all pterosaurs would go into the case - based upon is it inflight or not. The main issue of course would be that the perspective is incorrect. Any other creative ideas? (then again I've probably de-railed this thread, if so then ignore).
