(6) Papo Pachyrhino conversions-new Jun10-2011

[paleoferroequine]

These are my Papo Pachyrhinosaurus conversions. I wanted some variation on the body postions and came up with these. Lots of hack and slash and epoxy putty. The Sinoceratops and Albertaceratops being more basal have the frills more vertical in orientation. The tails have been lengthened. And belly plates of course, but no quills. Painting is pastel powder on acrylic base color. And before anybody comments, I have no idea if a ceratopsian could scratch itself like that but it looked cool! Criticism welcome. ;D

Albertaceratops nesmoi- Upper Cretaceous middle Campanian stage Oldman Formation of Alberta, Canada.

Einiosaurus procurvicornis-Upper Cretaceous Campanian stage of northwestern Montana

Rubeosaurus ovatus-the country bumpkin dinosaur-upper Two Medicine Formation of the Upper Cretaceous of Montana

Centrosaurus brinkmani-Upper Cretaceous Campanian stage upper Oldman Formation of Alberta, Canada.

Sinoceratops zhuchengensis-Upper Cretaceous Wangshi Group of Zhucheng, Shandong Province, China.

Awesome pieces ! My favorite ones have to be the Rubeoceratops and the Sinoceratops...you don't hardly see dinosaurs sitting or laying down..but scratching in a ceratopsian like that I can't recall ever seeing..it adds a lot of character to him. I'm not sure how feasible it is though..they probably scratched themselves on rocks or trees moreso than anything. I wonder if herd mates groomed each other ?

Love these.

*thud* Absolutely gorgeous! Great species, poses and colors, and I love how there's no way of telling which parts are original and which have been customized.

I laughed at Seijun's comment, too. ;D

These are all, all completely wonderful. I'm breathless. *Kowtows* I love the Rubeosaurus too. Such a delightful image.

Yes, just like monkeys!

The only tools they had were beaks and horns...I bet that grooming session was heard all across the super continent.. lol

What a herd!!! Those are stunning! And the details on the bases are amazing! How long did it take you to do each one of these?

[DinoLord]

Amazing work! I knew that one could get away reusing the Papo Pachyrhinosaurus' body for another ceratopsian (coughcoughstyracosauruscoughcough), but these are just amazing! How do you get all these extra figures anyways?

Those are really awesome, The rubeosaurus is simply too cute

[rugops]

Very stunning work Paleoferroequine! , forgive me if I'm wrong but I think you labeled the Albertaceratops Albertasaurus.

Well, thank you everybody for the compliments. These were a bit of work and took a while to complete but it was worth it I think. It took some time to decide what species to make, Styracosaurus was on the short list when Papo announced they were making one so it was changed to Rubeosaurus and I'm glad I did. I don't know if I will do Achelousaurus or a different Centrosaurus, I have run out of options. Thanks rugops for pointing that out. I had so many problems with Photo Bucket not resizing properly or refusing to display here on the forum that I must have wrote the captions 5 times before they took!! The photo itself was labeled properly.
