Thanks, Helge! May I mention, my two year old son commented on the figure by simply saying "breasts"... ;D Two years old you say? ;D On the other hand it's not too long ago that he was having an essential relation to female breasts  . |

At least it gives us an insight on what's on a two year old boy's mind... ;D

Some new ones...  Futabasaurus skeleton. Kaiyodo / The Study Room. Length 106 mm, scale approx. 1:66 - 1:70.  Tyrannosaurus rex. Kaiyodo / The Study Room resin model. Length 107 mm, scale approx. 1:90 - 1:119. many thanks to Helge (postsaurischian) for these two!  Tyrannosaurus rex. Kaiyodo / Dinosaur Expo 2005 model "Sue". Length 78 mm, scale approx. 1:122 - 1:164. And once again thanks to Helge I now have the complete Agatsuma Entertainment set (well, minus the two secret colour versions) which does not contain any dinosaur but is a nice collection of truly bizarre animals instead (the tsuchinoko being a cryptid):   Roboastra luteolineata (Baba, 1936); a predatory sea slug. Length excluding oral hood 58 mm, scale approx. 1:1 - 1:2.  Melibe japonica Eliot, 1913; "Yamatomeribe", a giant, predatory, semipelagic sea slug. Length including oral hood 60 mm, scale approx. 1:5 - 1:10.  Vampyroteuthis infernalis Chun, 1903, Vampire Squid. Total length 51 mm, mantle length 15 mm, scale approx. 1:5 - 1:10.  Argonauta hians Lightfoot, 1786; Winged Argonaut or Brown Paper Nautilus. Eggcase ("shell") 42 mm, scale approx. 1:1 - 1:3.  Scotoplanes globosa (Théel, 1879); "Sea Pig". Length 40 mm, scale approx. 1:1.5 - 1:3.5.  Megalodicopia hians Oka, 1918; a predatory deep-sea tunicate. Height 52 mm, width 30.5 mm, scale approx. 1:4.  Pipa pipa (Linnaeus, 1758); Surinam Toad or Star-fingered Toad. Length 44 mm, scale approx. 1:2 - 1:4.  Macrochelys temminckii Troost, 1835; Alligator Snapping Turtle. Carapace length 44 mm, scale approx. 1:9 - 1:18.  Tsuchinoko, a cryptid resembling a fat snake or a legless blue-tongued skink. Length 107 mm, scale approx. 1:3 - 1:7. Yes, it's apparently said to be able to roll downhill by biting its own tail to form a ring. As if we didn't know that all snakes do that...  But of course my favourite figure from the set remains the tardigrade, Echiniscus sp. which I already posted here: dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=othertoys&thread=3017&page=4#119742 |

Scotoplanes globosa (Th�el, 1879); "Sea Pig". Length 40 mm, scale approx. 1:1.5 - 1:3.5. Is this some kind of sea cucumber from the abyss? |

Yes, exactly. Kaiyodo also made one as part of their Deep Sea Odyssey Series 1:  |

Seapigs, slugs...
Hey, Andre, your collecting habits become more and more excentric ;D
But I love it!
Where do you store all this? And when will we need to ask the "Trödelking" to help you ;D

Thanks, Stefan & Helge! Where do I store all this? The answer is... yes! ;D Okay, space has become an issue here and a good deal of my collection is in Ikea Samla boxes (I think there are something between 40 and 50 of them now), the rest is in five cabinets and on shelves. I need to update my excel file about my collection but I believe it's something around 1800 figures now (and counting ;D). But the small figures from Japan are of course the least part of the problem. |

Who's responsible for that wonderful Giganotosaurus paintjob?

Thanks, zopteryx and Stefan! BTW, the vegetation on this diorama base is made from dried and crushed oregano and peppermint leaves. Who's responsible for that wonderful Giganotosaurus paintjob? Well, photos of several gravid female specimens of the Malagasy Giant Chameleon, Furcifer oustaleti, were responsible for giving me the inspiration. I wanted to paint a dinosaur model like this for quite some time. Edit: Oh, and thanks to Helge, too! Yes, I painted it myself. |

Finally I've got the Bullyland Megatherium.  So huge that even my human scale figures are frightened... ;D Unfortunately the tongue was broken off so I had to sculpt a new one with Wonder Putty. |

Great job on that Giga, amazing paint scheme! I think its my favorite of your to date. I bet the diorama smelled good with all of those herbs used! ;D Oh, also great job on restoring that big bad megatherium, can't even tell there was a damage to it. |

Thanks, boki! Oh, this reminds me that I still have quite some shapeways figures to paint, Krentz Agustinia & Edmontosaurus and a whole lot of razh00 models... I tried to make the Megatherium's tongue look as much as the original as possible. Initially I drilled a 1 mm hole into the fracture and placed a screw in it to support the wonder putty, the rest was easy. As far as the herbs in the diorama go, I'm afraid the flavour is gone now (the oregano was getting old, anyway). |
