Wow, thank you for doing these poses. There are things here that haven't been seen before, captivating to behold.
I didn't realize how much of the model could be made hollow. Have you tested one like this before, to make sure they won't end up too brittle? If it works though, awesome.

 SW should kick it back as unprintable if the "walls" are to thin between the shell and the model. If it makes it thru the initial upload it should be fine. The real test is when it is ordered and actually has to go through the printer. If it successfully makes it thru the printer it should be just fine. Thats why I tend to wait before releasing them until I'm sure. Even then, a lot will vary based on the material. Its impossible for me to test print all of them so I try to recommend certain materials in the description. When a print fails, its usually due to the material chosen. It may print just fine in White Detail and fail in glass. I can't make it printable in everything and it doesn't help that SW keeps adding TONS of new materials  So it should be fine. It definately makes the model very lightweight, but since they are designed to be displayed or put in dioramas it doesn't really matter. Good news is both the Cory grazing male and the female are done and have uploaded successfully to SW! I'm busy moving onto more now, still waiting for my order to get thru the printers... Angie

Cool. I'm waiting on those Olorotitan. Great stuff you have. Thanks. I love your art!!!! Good to meet you here I'm glad you like the models. Can't wait to see what you do with the Oloros! Thank you So, I have posed the Lambeo l. models. Since I have so many of the other Lambeo I just left these guys in a couple simple poses. These are mostly for the diorama builders among you. The rearing one is reaching for those yummy leaves on a tree that doesn't exist  The other one is standing watch. Lazy. He's waiting for him to drop something I guess. So, try to picture them in a scene with a model tree for the Lambeo to be reaching for. I still need to change the skin detail a bit so he his scutes line up a bit better and remove some of the scars and things. Not to much work left though. Next up is Saurolophus and Prosaurolophus ;D    |

Incredible, Angie. You are blazing a trail for many of us wannabee 3-D artists. I'd love to do stuff like this if I had the time; meanwhile I'll enjoy what you and Raz and Krentz and others are doing. Keep up the great work,btw, if I buy, say, a $20 model from SW, how much of that do you get? A buck? Just curious. |

Keep up the great work,btw, if I buy, say, a $20 model from SW, how much of that do you get? A buck? Just curious. thank you!!!! Haha. I usually get between $3-8 of the cut for the models. Average being $5. SW takes the vast majority. Of course, they do all the customer service, shipping and printing so I can't complain I do it mostly because I like building them, I love dinosaurs, its good for my portfolio to show what I am capable of and most of all I like seeing other dinosaur nuts happy I really want to see people cherish them, paint them, display them, whatever. If you are happy, I'm happy! Besides, I hate waiting for special dinosaurs to come out by Safari, etc. that I actually like. Now I can just make my own and take other people's requests of what they want. Now you can have a herd of them! In different poses too! Thanks again, I'm on my way with the next batch of Hadrosaurs and a tutorial for some other artists that asked how to hollow them out... Best, Angie |

Angie, would you consider making a pachycephalosaurus ever?

Angie, would you consider making a pachycephalosaurus ever? Yep. I actually have a base model for a pachycephalo I built awhile ago. He needs to be detailed, posed and hollowed. But he is there, waiting in the wings Once I can get through these hadrosaurs, I'll start taking polls of what people want most. Best, Angie |

Thank you. I love your art also. I'm inspired by the wonderful 3D art, I'm trying to learn to make my own also.
Request: My favorite dinosaurs, Ceratopsians!

Good news is both the Cory grazing male and the female are done and have uploaded successfully to SW! *Goes hysterical* I don't know whether I should wait for the others and order them together or throw all caution to the winds and get these first at once. |

It doesn't make any difference for the shipping costs anyway . |

haha, I'm glad you guys are so excited! I'm excited! I'm on pins and needles hoping and hoping they all clear the printer and make it to my home and look pretty. None are available yet When I say they were a successful upload that means they cleared step 1. The second step is I order them and hope they clear the printer. Step 3 is they get to my house and look good. Step 4 is me screaming YAY!!! and release them to the masses. My receipt from SW says I *should* get my models by the 25th. So thats a week and a couple days you guys have to wait When I get them and inspect them I will let you know on this thread that they are ready to go. I can't wait!!!! I'm going to make my own herd dioramas! Awesome! I might have some pterosaur base models around I can use to make some nice models. I'll add those to the list. Seems like many people love the Ceratopsids, so thats a strong possibility of being the next group to get made. I'll throw in the pachycephalosaurus, etc. too. I'll start taking a list of everyones favorite after I finish these Hadrosaurs. OK, thanks again and I'll be back soon with more. Saurolophus is almost done ;D

Amazing duckbills. I like the dewlap on the saurolophus (and the model as a whole as well), definitely a must have.

The other one is standing watch. Lazy. He's waiting for him to drop something I guess.
