You need to load them to a hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket. Then copy/paste the url with image tags..you can post a LOT in one..er..post.

[Joel]

There are instructions that I posted on page 11 on how to do that. Let me know if they are unclear or whatever.

It's great to finally see your Stegosaurus bust. I've been waiting to see this one start to take shape. It should make an awesome display piece, along with your two infant Stegosaurs.

[Jeremy]

I hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread Shane, but I finally took some decent pics of your Apatosaurus and wanted to share them.


This is Shane's 1/15 Apatosaurus, built and painted by the man himself. In some of these pictures I have boosted the contrast, which shows just how detailed the paint apps are.


I apologize for the amount of pics, but this model deserves to have every angle documented, for all to see. It's just that beautiful. ;D


















































































This is my favorite angle to view this piece. Don't ask me why. lol

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

SWEET pics Jeremy ! She looks really awesome in those shots and Shane did a great job of building and painting her up !

I have to agree that is a great angle and prob my fav as well..you can send it to me to make sure though ! ;D

Have you tried using the fog fx yet ?

Thanks Chris.

I tried testing out smoke effects with a smoker, like you suggested, but that's not an option. I'd be too worried about the models retaining the smell of the smoke. I haven't had a chance to use any fog machines yet, but I'd like to. I've always wanted to buy one and use it for different things. lol

With these pics, I wasn't really going for a "realism" effect, but instead just trying to show off the actual model. I did manage to get one or two "realism shots". lol

A seriously spectacular work of art!

Edit: I thought it best to remove my attempt at humour, lest it be misconstrued...

Not sure what that means "wind up" do you mean like a toy? the whole animal was based off of Robert Bakker's impression of how it looked and both he and Matt Mossbrucker (of the Morrison museum) felt that there is not PROOF of the nasal passages truncating down the top of the muzzel of the skull ,i personally like that look but they said stick with what the skull shows for now. We cant go around putting adaptations on animals that we think look cool or we think they could have, but instead go more along the lines of keep it simple till we get more proof so thats what i did. I felt that if there were just two openings between the eyes that Rain or anything would just pour in so i kept them there above the openings in the skull but angled them forward facing more than straight up in the air if you know what i mean. trust me lots went into this sculpt.
here is a shot of the "ugly area" where i do all my painting ,drilling ,sanding and armature work ,thought some might like to see ....or not.
the resin models there are my collection waiting for finishing and most have been waiting and waiting and...........well you know.

I really appreciate those pics Shane. I always like looking at "behind the scenes" pics. ;D Makes my paleo collection look minuscule in comparison. lol

Btw, your so called "ugly area", looks like a room of treasures to me. I could look at it all for days.

I was kidding. And have subsequently removed it. Sorry. ('Wind up' means to annoy by saying something you don't really mean. It was intended as a self-deprecating reference to my own tendency to be pedantic and miss the wider picture. But it wasn't obvious, so I took it out. After you'd read it though, apparently...I'm very good at putting my foot in it.)

(On the other hand, the wind-up did sorta work... )

There's nothing wrong with it really. It's lovely.

Shane, I haven't chimed in much on your sculpts. So I just had to finally tell you what an impressive, accomplished artist you are. That Apato rivals the new Sideshow one IMHO. BTW, just how big is that puppy? I'm guessing a good 4 - 5 feet!? Just beautiful! And your painting is right up there with your sculpting talent.

Thanks for adding those other pics. I really find "the process" very fascinating. And your display pics are equally impressive.

And thank you, Jeremy for these well documented pics. Good job!

OK, I'll stop gushing now, lol! I hope to one day be able to afford your whole collection! Just so impressed by it!!

[dinohunter0000]

Sir, you are living my dream job Keep up the insanely fantastic work! Some day I really, rreally would like to have one of your models!!!

[sfstudios]

Hey no worries ,no shallow egos here, just curiuos. thanks for the kind words . Im ever tryin to always inprove my sculpting ,i dont want people to get used to seeing my work and saying , yup he did another one. i want it to be exciting for the customers.
the image is of my Black Rhino project that i did for Dark Carnival some years back ,sculpting modern day wild life is not the norm for me but it was fun.

That Black Rhino looks great. I've always wondered if you did any modern day wildlife. Now I know.
