Okay I'll swap styraco for Othnielia (or Othnielosaurus, whichever way you want to look at it).

;D Awesome. Glad you like them and this cool project! If you paint them I'd love to see what you've done! I went ahead and added dinosaur to the title, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Thank you  I have a list of all these great recommendations for everyone here and am getting started on many of them. Right now I'm about half way done on a Camptosaurus and a Coelophysis. Once I get the Campto done I can easily make some similar looking dinos like maybe a Dryosaurus, etc. So stayed tuned for those! Good to see you like the hadrosaurs as well. Now that I have the body built I'll go ahead and make some others like the Edmontosaurus, and that Saurolophus that was posted is awesome!!! OK, I'll post screenshots of the model (Camptosaurus/Coelophysis) for everyone to look at when I get it done and tell me if it looks good. Thanks again, this is going to be fun  I'm hoping to paint some of these and put them in a diorama setting with trees, etc. I think they will look best that way. Cheers and take care! Angie Hi Angie, I just saw your beautiful Brachylophosaurus at the Shapes website and will order both sizes tomorrow. This is a very cool and exciting project! I would recommend, however, that you add the word 'dinosaur' somewhere in your title or description, that will make it much easier for people to find in a search. I definitely hope you do a Xiaosaurus or Edmontosaurus, I would also hope for a Dryosaurus, Othnelia or Camptosaurus. Obviously, I'm also a big hadrosaur/hypsilophodon fan, so let's have some more! For theropods, Ornitholestes, Avimimus, even Struthiomimus, yes, and some compys and their ilk are under-represented in model figures. It seems like prices escalate dramatically with figure size, so I might avoid sauropods for the time being, at least till you build up a regular clientele. Best of luck in your future endeavors, I hope you make a few bucks, and I look forward to getting those brachylos! |

Jeb, thanks a bunch for all these photos!!!!! OMG, they are all so beautiful...Wow, I wish I could see all these in person. That Saurolophus is just wonderful, which museum is that mount in??? I want to see it one day! I'll be making one of those for sure, along with the Tsintaosaurus.
Thing is, once I have one hadrosaur made, it really isn't to hard to make another. I just have to rebuild the crest features and other things unique to whatever animal it is and presto...
I've got a Camptosaurus on the way and will make a Dryosaurus and hopefully some others like them. The Coelo is coming along as well. Troodon is a good idea too.
Yes, the smaller guys are better for this 3D printing thing. The price jumps like crazy with the bigger animals/sizes. It isn't so much detail as it is volume. I've made most of the inside of these guys hollow to cut down the price (I left the legs, most of the head and tail solid though) and it did some, but was surely a pain in the rear to do!
So yeah, throw me any ideas you have, I just love looking at all the pics too! Can't wait to see what megaraptor has going!
Thanks guys!
Angie

Angie are you making all these figures to a particular scale like 1/40? It would make a difference in what figures they could be used with.

Angie Let's see,so far it's Brachylophosaurus and Parasaurolophus with Coelophysis,Camptosaurus,Ceratosaurus and Dryosaurus among others in the pipeline. I can't wait to see all these new models. ;D ...and you're welcome.It's my pleasure to find and post these pics here.I wish I could see all of these in person as well The Saurolophus mount is in the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan.

stoneage, angie has the scales of her models listed on her Shapeways storefront. Most are 1/50 or 1/75 -- 1/40 isn't feasible cost-wise for large hadrosaurs, but hopefully it will be OK for little guys (though I still want some 1/50s.... ) |

Cool! Check out www.shapeways.com - maybe you can input them in there and turn them into sculpts. |
