Um....I wouldn't use that book as a template for your future pictures. A lot of the pictures are very inaccurate - as far as I can remember, most of the theropods have bunny hands; the sauropods have elephantine feet; dromaeosaurs have incorrectly rendered feathers, or are bald; etc. The spinosaur on the cover is inaccurate in that it has both bunny hands and two crests a la Jurassic Park (rather than the one midline crest it should have).
I'm sure you knew all that stuff already though (forgive me, I forget who knows what). I'd just urge caution if you plan on using the book as a reference.

Thanks, yeah, I realized there are some faults with the book, but, like I said, it was a GIFT, it cost me zero, so I'm trying to accentuate the positive. Which is, cool color schemes for painting my resin models; you gotta admit, some are very imaginative. Anyway, look for the lifesize models tomorrow.  |

Here is the life-size rendering of Microraptor (with Kaiyodo Microraptor for comparison). A pretty cool feature of this book.  |

Haha. I honestly didn't mind (I can guess its rough size based on other Kaiyodos) but I'm glad you added the pic! ;D

Ooh, that's the one I ordered! Been drooling over it all fall, so I'm really looking forward to it. (I guess all the illustrations are available on the internet, but it just isn't the same...) |

I think I have an edition of Audubon's Birds of America somewhere. I can't be sure among these heaps...

I got a Panasonic Lumix camera, and a 3DS with 2 games. Unfortunately, I also received the stomach flu over Christmas so I couldn't eat Christmas dinner or any nice food in general  Rotten luck. |
