I wan to try making Dioramas and Displays Similar to Some of the Ones I've seen here, by Some very talented people, but without the Expensive Resin Kits, and with stuff you can get at a hobby store.
I've narrowed my favortie avaliable Dinosaur Figures, and am Deciding wich one to get, But I need help.
Carnegie Giganotosaurus Carnegie Cryolophosaurus Bullyland Feathered Raptor Carnegie Microraptor,
or do you know something that could Work better for My situation?

Out of that list my favorite is the Cryolophosaurus followed by the Giga. I don't particularly care for the other two. If realism and accuracy are what you're looking for I would suggest looking into the WS Stegosaurus, Nigersaurus and Postosuchus. Some of the Papo figures would also work such as the Ceratopsians (minus the tric) and Allosaurus.

I'm with Gwangi, the Crylophosaurus and Giga are the best options out of those four. The main reason for this, from my point of view, is that the other two are in such a large scale that making an accurate looking diorama could be difficult. Companion dinos for Cryo and giga could be a prosauropod (just about any would do, but I personally like the Carnegie and the new Collecta, but I'm not sure about the scale on the last one) for the Cryo and maybe the Carnegie Saltasaurus for the Giga. Or you could get any big sauropod figure and turn it into a carcass for the Giga!
Hope this helps! ;D

Bullyland feathered Velociraptor is one of the very rare feathered Velociraptors on the market. Getting one would be a good idea I think... It would avoid your diorama look like a Jurassic Park movie scenery.

sounds like a fun idea. are you planning to only use a single figure?
All are attractive choices. I would ask are you planning to use premade trees and flora or construct your own?
Giga is middle Cretaceous South America so you could use the Safari kauri but the scale would be small. Tree ferns and Cycads are a safe choice the ones from Safari would work. maybe custom a large Chinasasur sauropod for a carcase?
Crylophosaurus is EJ so desert is easy althounth aantartica could be forested. Cycadiods are the most common plant. Maybe CollectA Williamsonia? Cycads are not too hard to construct from pinecome and palm tree tops. The Plam tree tops also make good ferns. Prosauropods and a scleidosaurus for company?
If you do the raptor I would do at least 3 odd numbers look better. Sand dunes with oasis maybe a small pachy?
Microraptor flock in the trees around a lake in th eback ground would be great. Maybe with some birds or small pterosaurs?
