Both the Amargasaurus and the Carnotaurus are great! I love how the child looks up to its mother. It gives the scene some feeling!

I reckon not much bigger than a fingernail...

Great work, Martin! I love the color scheme and patterning. Also, you did a great job making it a standalone piece.

Yes, it is a young (subadult) Allosaurus. It's based on the Big Al specimen at the University of Wyoming.

Cheers,
Jon

I do love how he made it a standalone piece myself..though idea of a swimming one in the orig pose still intrigues me..

The skull still kinda bugs me but I'm not sure why..is the lower jaw too short ? Might just be the angle. :?

This one looks a bit better :

I think it's just the angle of the photo. I was pretty anal when I restored this to make sure that the proportions were correct, and I had the perfect reference from which to work: the actual skeleton (which is an awesome mount, if you can make it to Laramie).

I've been thinking about how to do an effective swimming diorama with this guy since you first mentioned it. I think that the only way to do it would be to embed the painted model into a clear casting resin, and then layer over the top of it with something to create ripple effects. I have no idea what to use for that, perhaps one of the modelling masters could chime in on that.

-Jon

Edit: Another note on the skull... this is not Allosaurus fragilis. It's probably A. jimmadseni, and it's a subadult. Therefore, you should expect the short skull and rounded rostrum that is typical of restorations of A. fragilis (though that skull shape is likely not accurate either), and the skull may have slightly different proportions due to ontogeny.

It very well could be, those last images look a lot better to me..it's almost a bit dromeosaur-like the way Martin has it here... heh heh

I'm not good at water effects at all having little to no experience..Martin I'm sure could pull it off though. I have the whole idea laid out..the casting resin would need to be too think..prob not even too clear either. And considering the pose again I think a a croc or large turtle coming up under him would be good..like he senses the vibrations of something big and that sets off his escape instinct ....close to your original idea actually.

That's a good point...A. Fragilis almost always springs to mind as the typical Allosaurus. There also aren't any other juvenile or sub adult Allosaurus pieces out there that aware of of...someone needs to do a 1/1 baby or juvenile..
