Dinosaurs and other extinct creatures in 1/72


Recommended Posts

Next new item.
The largest creature earth has ever seen which was capable of flight:

Quetzalcoatlus northropi, 1/72

I painted it like a Condor, because this bird is today the largest creature which can fly.

The kit contains 7 parts (1 body, 2 hands, 2 feets, 1 beak and 1 base).
In case of interest, just write me a PM.

Really excellent collection. I really like the Hadrosaurs.

The Quetzalcoatlus is my favorite, I tend to lean towards liking the avian dinosaurs most as their proportions and size just seem so fantastic when compared with modern wildlife.

Thanx. I You want some kits, just write me a pm. There are already some new dinos at work-Velociraptor and his prey Protoceratops, Hypacrosaurus, Stegosaurus and an early triassic Dicynodont-Placerias. The kits will be finished somewhere at the end of the year.

@ Will: Modelling fur is hard. It tokk me several attemps to achieve a good result. I use dentist-tool. At first I mold a "sausage" and then I start to mold the hairs in the sausage and hope its satisfied me.

Very nice, and very different.

I came across an Airfix Dino kit yesterday - floods of memory - (I forget the critter in question) but as I have even less skill at painting figures than I do at the flattest of aircraft I reluctantly gave it a miss.

Hi hi hi my drugies!

Back again with finished masters for Coelophysis and Velociraptor. Placerias and Stegosaurus are nearly finished. Protoceratops is still in work.

Coelophysis pulls an eye from a shortly passed by young Placerias and Velociraptor prepares to jump.

Looking great and nicely done!  But, just to throw a little, (palaeontological), confusion into the melting pot, it is quite possible that the Dicynodonts, especially the later ones, were hair covered!:wicked:

Velociraptor mongolensis, 1/72 - Preparing for attack.
(The fingers have to be cutted to lenght from the provided wire.)

PS: Painting refers to Maned Wolf.

 

Hairy Dicynodont: @wyverns4: Its a interesting question.Its a very interesting question. Its a damn very intersting question. Should I scuplt a second edition? Mmhmmmmmmmm... 

 

@Mrs PlaStix: 1001xMerci!

Fandabydozy!

 

I like the way you use extant ecological tropes for inspiration to finishing extinct simulacrums. Evolution has a habit of using convergence to repopulate vacated ecological niches.

Arsinoitherium zitteli, 1/72. Its a 3d-printed (Shapeways, FUD) model from Manuel Bejarano.

The eyes could be a sculpted bit more prominent. So they are hardly to find to paint.

Overall its a good model. I painted it in hippo-style.

Lets go on!


Europasaurus holgeri, 1/72, GN Models (Shapeways, WSF)

 

Europasaurus_1-72.jpg


The WSF-material sucks every detail. It can't be recommended.


Ceratosaurus nasicornis, 1/72,Manuel Bejarano (Shapeways, FUD)

Its once again a very nice model.

(paint scheme reference: Panther)

 

Ceartosaurus_1-72.jpg


Amargasaurus cazaui, 1/72, Andrew Sides (Shapeways, FUD)

(paint scheme reference: Sable antelope)

The beast, which is only outnumbered by Spinosaurus:

Giganotosaurus carolinii, 1/72, David Krentz, Shapeways (WSF)


Unfortunately its only avaiable in WSF-(white strong flexible). Forget about sanding, it won't work.
Fortunately the details are prominent enough to paint them in a reasonable way. But FUD (frosted ultra detail) would be of course much better.
Paint-reference is the African wild dog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_wild_dog)

Next ones before I need to take a short break:


Troodon formosus, 1/72, Manuel Bejarano (Shapeways, FUD)
Once again a small and nice dinosaur from Sen. Bejarano, printed by Shapeways.
Troodon was probably omnivor (all-eater), so I decided to paint it like a Scarlet ibis  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_ibis) with some blue as contrast.

 

Troodon_1-72.jpg

 

Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis, 1/72, Manuel Bejarano ,Shapeways, FUD.

Paintjob-reference: Clouded Leopard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouded_leopard)

 

Herrerasaurus_1-72.jpg

 

 

Pteranodon longiceps/ steinbergi, female, 1/72, Mixvs Minimax (it's me).

The pictured model was built OOB. The kit contains seperate crests for a male P. steinbergi and P. longiceps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pteranodon).

The wing-skin is thin like paper. Lower beak, tounge and feets have to be assembled.

Paintjob-reference: Albatros ((https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albatrosse) and Blue-footed booby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-footed_booby)
