?? Lol, in Los Angeles its all city...barely any grass ;D What sbell meant is that grass didn't exist in the Mesozoic era Precisely--and cycads won't cut it--I have one, and it doesn't look like that (although I'm guessing you know that). You could have at least tried horsetails (even if still inappropriate). |

Nice dios, I liked the first you posted. I'd use more neutral ground (i.e. no grass) but all in all nice. I'm glad to see other members become interested in dio-making ;D

I know what he meant, and I know cycads were a lame excuse. I just made these in my back yard for fun, I'll put more time and effort into the next round.

Just giving you a hard time--I know that it can be tough (and I have gotten way behind on ever doing a diorama again). And now you know the hell the producers of the WwD series went through! |

I'm going to head to the beach in a few days for the next round, I think that will look much more authentic.
Thanks for the comments!

Thanks Boki! All of the Carnegies I get now are in large lots. The last lot I mentioned had the 3 big sauropods for $28, plus 5 other figs. When you buy them like that, they're not too expensive. As for a theri diorama, I may take a trip to the beach to simulate the Gobi. I'm not sure I have 2 theri's in the same scale, though.  I'd also like to do some South American ones... I agree, winning a lot is a big plus when you are on a $ budget ;D Sometimes it may sound like a lot of $ for a lot of misc. figures, but when you break it down it is way cheaper...really ;D I paid $80 w/s for my entire Procon deluxe figures, thats less than $15 for each. O o o speaking of lots, I just won one, big one, for $21 that included a Battat T-rex! ;D I am hoping it's the 3rd version of it; that would be so cool since I have both the first and the snow shoe versions. |

It must be nice to have all of them. Do you think you could let some of that stuff trickle to the little guy. ;D |

Have all of what? Carnegies? Battats? I'm done buying for a while, I'm out of money...
I actually lost a Carnegie Rex at sea when I was very little, and I waited and waited and if finally came back!

Hey, I can't control the sun. They're also my first attempt. I'm sure they'll get better over time. You could do them later in the day.... Good luck with your future dios!  |

That is a good advantage of having little cousins with a sand pit at their house.
