Hope he's going to be nice and " bumpy " if not " spikey ".. ;D

I definitely agree with Blade

I had a thought..once this one is done. Maybe you could make a smaller version of the 1/15 nesting Cerato to go with it ? Then you could have a male/female pair for displays and dioramas . Always wanted a sitting theropod but never found one.

I had the same thought- was going to make this first 1/40 cerato sitting on the nest like the 1/15 scale one- but decided to first make a walking one- I have started a sitting 1/40 Allo- one that could be either sleeping or resting- I may just make its eyes closed so it looks like it is sleeping-

That could be a cool scene right there..a Cerato trying to sneak up or past a resting Allosaurus..maybe even steal a bit of his kill ? Lot's of tension there !

Definitely getting it once I have the money.

That's fine. I was just thinking that myself on a closer inspection..maybe add a couple more as well.

	If its tail touches the ground, I probably won't buy it. If its hands are facing the wrong way, I probably won't buy it. If it ought to have feathers and doesn't, I probably won't buy it. If it has vaned feathers attaching at its wrists, I probably won't buy it. Unless it looks just like a Jurassic Park dinosaur
