Battatitan's Dioramas

[Himmapaan]

They're wonderful! And how kind of you to personalise them for us. Looks as though I ought to seek out an Anchitherium for myself too now.

Oh, and don't worry; I didn't notice the grass. ;D

[Libraraptor]

Love the podlet! And the other ones, too. That Smilodon is so mighty!

[postsaurischian]

Wow - beautiful pics, Battatitan.
I love the colours in the Anchitheriums' diorama .
....... and of course the "Where are your feathers?" encounter ;D. Any more 'Dino figures meeting real life animals' - shots?

[bokisaurus]

Awww, very sweet of you to dedicate dioramas to individual
Very nice dios, Is that the WWD Leaellynasaurus enjoying the sunset?

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Ahh, these are wonderfully creative and beautifully photographed. Thanks for sharing!

[Battatitan]

Hello again!
Sorry for the delay! Postsaurischian, I haven't any more yet, but I can try to get a couple more!

I tried another sunset with the WWD Leaellynasaura (You were right Boki!), and I think it's better than the first....



And a Leaellynasaura finds an unfrozen stream.



Enjoy! ;D

[Pangolinmoth]

LOVE the sunset pic. Very pretty.

[ichthyostega]

I love the ornitholestes! I'ts one of the best ornitholestes i know!
I got him too.

[Battatitan]

Thanks for the nice comments and apologies for the delay.

@ichthostega: I have two. But I agree, they are very nice.

Here are some of the Platesaurus and Smilodon I got for Christmas:



Sorry about the out-of-focus dino on the next one, but this is a 'trick' (if you like); the model is being held up infront of the camera creating the effect that it's huge and really is there:



Smilodon emerges from his cave:



I have also found as suitable size to re-size the images so hopefully they will ALL be slightly smaller.
Have fun! ;D

[ichthyostega]

Wow, i love the second one of the Plateosaurus in the forest!!!

[Battatitan]

Thanks Ichthyostega!

A Torosaurus at dusk:



And Part One of my Arsinoitherium dioramas.
1) I think this is the best:



2) Water-Strolling



3) Charging out at an unseen predator.



4) Bathing:



Part Two coming soon!

[ichthyostega]

Is that the WwD Torosaurus?
I REALLY like your dio's !!!!!

[Battatitan]

ichthyostega: Yes, it's the WwD Toro. And thanks for being a regular commentor! I'm glad that you like them but could I just ask exactly what you like about them?

Part Two of the Arsinoitherium:
Defending His Patch



Entering The water (Another 'trick')



Slow-Mover



Grazing



Swimming Upriver



So, that's the Arsino. Which one is your fvourite?
Enjoy.

You, sir, are full of epic win.

[Battatitan]

Thank you very much Cordy!
That means alot coming from you!

It's an amazing diorama, there's not a thing that could be better. Great photography! I wish I had some great open areas like that around here (and if that's not that big of a space in your picture great job on the optical illusion!).

[Battatitan]

It's not an illusion, it's a sloping snow-covered field, and you can just see the hills (and probably houses!) where the field slopes out of view and the towns/hills begin.
"Not a thing that could be better" - Really? well, I'm glad that you think so! ;D
Anyway, you have nice pine forests and sandy dunes; I only seem to have fields with grass and/or muddy puddles! I suppose it depends on the subject of the dio.

[Battatitan]

Sorry for the double post!

Where has everyone gone? Thanks to Ichthyostega and Cordylus for commenting anyway.
However, I have a diorama story for you all, and I hope this satisfies you, Postsaurischian!

Two parched Styracosaurs find a water hole in their arid habitat.



Suddenly a deadly raptor ambushes them. He has been waiting for a careless animal to dare to travel to the water hole.



But suddenly the Styracosaurs' heroes arrive. With one swift blow the raptor is knocked out.



"Don't be so careless next time," advises the oversized raptor.



Until next time!

*LOL* Very nice touch!

[Himmapaan]

Hahaha, brilliant. ;D

Well, I haven't gone anywhere. These are all very beautifully composed and photographed, as I felt from the first. I envy your skills terribly. I'm merely trying to spare my repetitions to that effect, that's all ( ;D ), but I've kept up with each new posting. I expect it's much the same for others.
