Where's the papo pachyrhinosaurus?! Neat group. No wild safari pachy?

Did you buy all of those procons in stores in new jersey? If so I need to know the names of those stores

WS made a Pachy???

Long gone now--part of their more colourful, earlier WS dino line:

I have this one. Such a cutie! ;D ;D ;D

[Griffin]

I decided to put close-ups of my krentz up here as well. Some of you may have seen these before.

Triceratops


Styracosaurus


Achelousaurus


Corythosaurus


Tyrannosaurus

[Horridus]

Best. Styracosaurus. Colour scheme. Ever.

[Griffin]

thanks. I really like the way that one came out. They are all based off of the drawings I do of them.

Word.

The cory is also a true beauty.

[rugops]

The T. rex looks great too.

[postsaurischian]

Even if I painted my Krentz figures I'd go blind while doing it ;D.
I also like the Styracosaurus' colour very much . Great job!

[rugops]

Griffin has near perfected the styracosarus color scheme.

Its been a while since I took photos of the collection and I have since obtained quite a few more dinos. Sorry about the blur of the camera, i must not have been holding it very steady.

My fossil shelf with some kaiyodos


Favorite Amargasaurus generously traded by Boki.


Dinotales of all the Marginocephalia I could get. I think I'm only missing the proto and the skeleton ones. Styrac and series 1 trike also traded over by Boki.



My roughly 1:40 scale dino shelves. I'm gonna need new space if I get any more at this point.



Theropods







Sauropods and morphs.



Thyreophorans



Ornithopods



Pachycephalosaurs



Neoceratopsids



Centrocaurine ceratopsids



Ceratopsians



Pterosaurs



Early non dinosaur prehistoric critters



Marine reptiles

[Horridus]

Thanks for the photos! Makes me long to get home and take some more group shots. Which Scutosaurus is that?

[Griffin]

Thanks!

The Scuto is the Wild Safari one.

Really? I thought it might be, but it looked too small to me, especially next to the Postosuchus. Had no idea how tiny it was.

[Griffin]

Yeah its about in 1:40 scale actually. No clue if WS did that on purpose or not since their figures seem to be all over the place now.

[foxilized]

Very nice collection. I like how you organize the dinosaurs in orders and display a good example of each species.

Do you usually choose one single figure to represent a species, and then you don't get that species anymore? How do you choose, by personal taste?

Pretty much exactly what you said. I try to collect mostly 1:40 (or close enough to it) scale and organize them on that little shelf in time order. And I try to get a good representation of each species. When it comes to things that I really like such as pachycephalosaurs and ceratopsians I will get other models that I think are really cool like the little dinotales and such. For the sake of saving money and space I try to stick to one good model of a species and be happy with it but occasionally I will cave if I think something is exceptionally cool like that favorite Amarga that Boki traded me or the Papo Allosaurus.

[bokisaurus]

Ah, great collection! Nice to see some old friends in good hands and new company

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Very nice collection and set-up you got there, Griffin! Is this a dorm or a room at home? If a dorm room, you have to be one of the neatest college students I know, hehe!

Yeah, your paint jobs on the Krentz models are really nice, especially when you consider their size! My eyes keep going back to the T. rex. I know it's probably the most subtle of all the paint jobs, but I like it. It's almost made to look like a wood carving of sorts, with the different bans of age lines showing. Cool!

BTW, the A.C. Moore store I go to in Secaucus in the Mill Creek Mall area has a pretty nice variety of name brands, including Papo (mostly fantasy) and believe it or not, Carnegie -- not a lot, but some! They of course also have WS. I almost got the newer Carnegie Woolly Mammoth there, but took the Papo Red and Grey Two-Headed Dragons instead. I'm not as big on mammals, but, I will probably get that Mammoth one day.

Nice.

I suppose you are gonna need to change the Carnotaurus, though, since the new one that is coming next year is so better than the old one, right?

[crazycrowman]

Nice collection - the Krentz figures especially.
