I know I'm not boki, but I guess I'll have to do for the time being ;D 1) Front right is the WWD Toyway Stegosaurus 2) the green/orange coloration of all stegosaur figures: dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=toys&action=display&thread=19873) The dinosaurs in boki's signature are all custom ones he has painted. The figure on the right is the Carnegie Tylosaurus that has been repainted Hope that helps! Thanks, greatly appreciated! A truly impressive paint job on all the customs ( sorry Tylo  ) Glad you like them, and thanks Teri for providing the info  |

Yeah, it looks sub-Definitely Dinosaurs quality. That's the Green Schleich Para on ebay, unless there happens to be another (green) one. That one is the old, original Para released in the early 90's. It has its charm for sure, but not the one we are talking about that goes well with the Papo ;D |

You'll prob change your mind once you see it..it looks very natural..and quite elephantine in detail. I use craft paint you can find at walmart or diff spray paints from hobby stores in lew of a air brush. You can get a clear seal to go over any paint job to help protect it once done.  Just to add a little to this; you might like to prime your model prior to painting to help the paint adhere to it too.  Priming, like moistening them up with warm water? Are there any professional painting services available (dedicated) for toys, figures and sculpts...? Say, I want to have my Papo T-Rex painted maroon (or mahogany) but to have it also retain the stripes and patterns typical of the original Papo? a Navy Blue Papo Spino? "Coffee colored" Spino? I think if I were to do it myself, it would look a bit fake/sloppy?no? ( I remember there used to be a website called colorconsoles.com that would repaint N64/PS2/GC's for a fee) |

Carnegie Beipiaosaurus? Anyone see this guy in person Does it look Papo-ish? Haven't seen it in person but have seen enough non-stock photos to know it's bloody brilliant. It's on my 'to buy' list. It doesn't look Papo-ish though, 'cos it's accurately feathered! ;D |

Nice Anyway, here is a quick photo of my computer shelf with Papo and co., you can sort of have an idea how they look with some other figures ( WS pterosaurs, and CollectA Jobaria) ;D  Sorry for the quality |

( I remember there used to be a website called colorconsoles.com that would repaint N64/PS2/GC's for a fee) Priming, meaning painting the figures with gesso or something to make the paint stick better. It also make the paint application smooth. Thats what I do. And I use acrylic paints on all of my repaints. Just be careful not to apply the pain heavy... or all the textures will be lost. Check out the dino art section, there should be some threads of repainted figures and how to. Its fun repainting figures |

^ That ceratopsian collection is beautiful. Thanks for posting!
By the way, who's the maker of that brown trike on the first row standing between those two green and orange protoceratops?
