Oooh, want that one and that one and that one and that one.... what a stunning collection! Heh, took the words right out of my mouth. ;D Another mouthwatering collection. You know I'm a fan of smaller figures too, I think.  |

If there's nothing good on tv and the kids aren't pestering me, I may put up the details about the first 3 groups like I did for the spinosaurs.

WOW Radman - impressive collection of miniatures ! Did you paint Angie's ornithopods or is that Shapeway's Limestone material?  All of them I bought as white, which is the cheapest option. Here they are in various stages of completion. I primed them, but I don't think it's really necessary, as they hold the paint well without it. I'm not entirely clear on the Shapeways method, but I don't think it involves mold release agents, etc. Anybody know exactly how these are created? |

The models are 'printed' by being built up in layers in three-dimensional form from the digitally rendered prototype. There is no moulding of any kind, even the original 'sculpture' doesn't exist in physical form, only as pixels. ;D Here's a Wikipedia article which explains 3d printing in detail: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printingOh, and those are beautifully painted, of course. ;D |

Ah yes, that's pretty much what I thought. Thanks!

In fact, I'm astonished I was actually able to explain that.  I'm actually an ignorant technophobe most of the time.  So the idea of 3d printing is still pretty miraculous to me even now. |

SAUROPODS!!!! Holy-moly, this is gonna be more effort than I originally thought. I've gotta break these guys up into groups and do 'em one genus at a time. Just to save me work later, I'm including ALL the models I have, large and small. Here are the Amargasaurs:  Back to front: Dinostoreus resin model, 1:35 Safari 1:40 Battat 1:40 CollectA/Procon 1:40 The last 5 are from Sega, scale, your guess is as good as mine. Updated, with Devil Hans (1:40) for reference.  |

Those are some awfully short necked and non-spiny Amargasaurs.

SAUROPODS!! Part II Diplodocus. Well, this couldn't be easier.  Battat, Carnegie, Safari, and Kabaya Dinoworld. That's it. There's also an Invicta, which I actually own, just can't find it at the moment, so when I do I'll update the pic. I'll also include the Carnegie's head in the picture. But seriously, is that all the diplodocuses diplodoci longnecks? I know Salas made a nice resin, it was on ebay not too long ago, where I was way overbid, I think it went for over 200 clams. Oh yeah, there's the British Museum pinhead as well. Update coming soon! N.B. Mamenchis and the like will be a separate post. ;D And Himma, yes, the amarga skeleton's leg fell off just as I took the pic. Also, I may have an extra of the small diplo; interested? |

... I may have an extra of the small diplo; interested? Are you kidding? Yes, pleeeease. ;D Which will mean that, apart from the old Carnegie, I'll have almost all the Diplodocus figures you do.* I call that quite an achievement by my meagre standards. ;D * Technically, the Battat (*Heavenly choir*) is still on its travels, but I do rightfully own it. ;D |

SAUROPODS III ! Saltasaurus Well, this is even easier than the diplos. No one has made a Salty apart from Schleich (A) and Carnegie (B+)? I know Kaiyodo made a 1:20 figure, which I just sold to Blade, but otherwise???  |
