Awesome, awesome paintjob!!
The para is an absolute Papo twin!
Stoneage: those little (maybe not so little?) trees are gorgeous, di you buy them, or did you build them yourself?

By the way, foxilized, the Velociraptors look more like Troodon. They are long-legged, very gracile, tiny-headed and have rather small claws on their 2nd toe. The head doesn't look like a Velociraptor's either. And here I was rejoicing at finally finding models with properly Velociraptorian heads! Shows what I know... But they're still great models, and those painted ones are stunning!  There's no way I'm trying to copy that, so how mine will turn out is anybody's guess. The one in the foreground in the picture Dyscrasia posted does have quite a Velociraptorian head, I think?  |

Ah, yes, the ones with the open mouths seem to have their heads more resembling Velociraptor with the concave forehead. I never really cared much for the Velociraptors, I have assembled them but that's all. |

Yeah, I know that the Jurassic Park dinos have all kinds of things wrong with them. Never really claimed otherwise. I'm just saying that I'd rather see a toy that is inspired from and looks to be on the level of a great peleo artist's work (Papo Allosaurus) than a bland, but scientifically accurate toy. The 2009 Carnegies were exceptionally accurate, but they lacked detail and style. I don't think Papo's detail is superfluous, either - the little things they pay attention to, like the fact that a carnivore's teeth are sharp, the texture of the skin, muscle tone, an eye that resembles a bird's, etc are all very important. That said, the Carnegies are starting to catch up to Papo in terms of detail. They kind of have to. I paint quite a bit, but I'd personally rather draw and paint a dinosaur from scratch than re-paint a figure. The 2009 carnegie tylosaurus is everything but bland - have you seen one in person? It's detail level surpasses the papo plesiosaur! I just picked up the WS Lipleurodon for $4. I was surprised that the Liopleurodon also surpassed my $15 papo plesiosaur in detailing! I'm very pleased with it. ;D |
