I must say cordy, your photoshopping has improved very much since you first started this thread!

I agree with every word.

Thanks guys!

You should make your own blog and put every single diorama picture inside. It can be linked from the Blog.

Naw, they're fine here ;D

Great dioramas,Cordy


Why don't you make a third one with the green hadrosaur and the Carnegie Baryonix? Just to see if the the Bary has caught that poor green fellow ;D

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Good idea sid..... I think I'll do that sometime ;D




I need to get a good iguanadon. Hmf.

[Tyrannax]

^ Which one comes to mind?

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Carnegie. Schliech is all gone, collecta looks grotesque, WwD is well... WwD. So hard to find.

[Tyrannax]

That's what I was thinking- it seems to have a nice reared back pose. It'd go well with the Baryonyx which happens to be looking up somewhat.

Leptoceratops wander.





Carnotaurus hunting. It has been raining for the past week, and it has brought out some lovely vegetation.




Tyrannosaurus chasing struthiomimus. Please dismiss the inappropriate vegetation ;D

Nice WS Rex custom,Cordy!


The Schleich Carnotaurus looks really fierce with that evil grin on his face,and the WS Lepto...Well,is simply a work of art,probably one of their best dinos

Big bad spinosaurus doesn't want to share his plesiosaur lunch with the hungry bahariasaurus

It's neat, but I would recommend using a lungfish figure instead (Ceratodus)--they lived in the area, some were around 5-6 feet long, and would have been just the right prey for a giant hunter like Spinosaurus. I've heard that coelacanth should work too, but I can't find a record of an African Cretaceous shallow water species.

If you're wondering where to get a lungfish, the most quickly available are the Yowies ones; the Colorata one is better, but much harder to find.

Aren't the yowies ones pretty cartoony?

Not as cartoony as some of their figures, but not quite Kaiyodo-real either. On the other hand, you can probably find them for a couple dollars each, so painting or even all-out customizing is not out of the question.

It has occurred to me that there is another option--a freshwater shark of a generic form (if you have a hybodont, that would be great, but a general requiem shark should work too). I am willing to bet that you have a few shark figures around!

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Ah, a shark, why did I not think of that?!


Are there any hybodont figures? I have a couple of generics that could do the job well, but I'd like to own an official hybodont.

Sadly, I am not aware of any actual hybodont figures. There are some out there that can do them justice, but nothing with the weird little devil horns.

Despite my broken digital camera, I managed to put this together via cell phone camera...
