Dinosaurs and other extinct creatures in 1/72

[Mixvs Minimax 178]

And once again a new "beast" has left my production garage.

 

Protoceratops andrewsi, 1/72, Mixvs Minimax

 

..is watching its nest.
Its again a small 2-parts kit. One base (with casted legs) and the body.
Paintjob-reference is the Springbok (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springbok).
BTW, this kind of camo (bright  downside, sand/brown upside with contrast-stripe between) seems to be witespread in the recent fauna.

Hi everybody,

Last weekend I looked at my Velociraptor and thought: Thats a damn boring base!
Thats a predator and let's place it's kill under it's feet. What a luck, that I have
finished Velociraptor's prey (Protoceratops).

 

 

cheers,

Alex

Good idea, that's much better.

[Mixvs Minimax 178]

Salute!

The next items are:

 

Dracorex hogwartia in 1/72 looking for Mr. Potter in the rocky terrain of the Rocky Mountains.

 

 

The kit has 15 parts. 1 base, 1 body, 1 foot, 2 arms and a couple of spikes.
 

 

Stygimoloch spinifer in 1/72

Stygimoloch is probably identical with Pachycephalosaurus and Dracorex with Pachycephalosaurus as the adult stage.

 

 

 I have chosen the Muskox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskox) as paintjob reference.

The kit has 15 parts. 1 base, 1 body, 1 foot, 2 arms and a couple of spikes.

 

 

Microraptor gui in 1/72 inspecting a nest hole.

Because Microraptor is quite micro in this scale, it is sculpted to the tree.

 

 

The kit has 2 parts. 1 base and the tree trunk.

 

cheers,
Alex

amazing new models added since I last checked in last year - fantastic / 100% brilliant

[Mixvs Minimax 178]

Than check this:

 

New item! Epidexipteryx hui in 1/72

If You sculpt the smallest known dinosaur (skeleton lenght) in 1/72, You get the smallest known dinosaur model in the world.

Epidexipteryx sits in a big brachiosaurid track pond and takes a bath. Beside a dramatic scene happens somewhere in the direction of the track. A Theropod of the size of a Yangchuanosaurus followed the sauropod (track upper right).

Wow, that's the tiniest of the tiny. I like the way you have hinted at the size comparison with the pond being a track print.

[Mixvs Minimax 178]

@Gorby: Thanks. At first I wanted to place it in a trunk, but then it came out, that it would be to hard to scuplt, build, cast and paint. At the best place in the world for
sudden ideas, I got mind-flashed and decided to place it in a track print of a really big dino. The trunk will be now the base for Compsognathus (that nasty small dinos from Jurassic park), sitting at the edge to overview the terrain.

Brilliant, I love these, so well presented/painted.  

[Gorby 6,892]

They are all excellent little vignettes, but much too small and delicate for my fingers and eyes. 

[Mixvs Minimax 178]

Aaaaaaaaahh! I don't think so. .-) The challenge with Epidexipteryx is to place the tail feathers. Microraptor is big enough to paint...

Amazing,really brings the dino's to life.  That's quite a collection you are building there - all very impressive.
