Dinosaurs on the charge

[Gimme Shelter]

Do Dinosaurs count as Figures... I guess they can. I'm not trying to over show this diorama on the forum but it seemed appropriate to put these up on the Diorama section once completed having had the build stages amble along in the figures WIP pages.

 

Here's a pair of the Tamiya 1/35 Triceratops Prehistoric Diorama educational sets that have been merged into a single action piece. Each kit comes with 1 Triceratops and 2 Velociraptors. I have one of the Tamiya pack of 6 raptors at hand and added another of the little menaces - the kit mould stamp dates back to 1992 before these guys were suspected/known to have probably been feathered.

 

I'm fast becoming more loyal to the Spanish Vallejo & MIG type vendors so most of the colours used were from them except Tamiya for the eye glaze. A fun piece of plastic to build but did get me very frustrated throughout some of the flesh tome paint processes due to my lack of previous knowledge and skills - big bow of respect to the wargaming and figure modellers out there as a result of thereafter.....

 

Hope you enjoy this if you have not already stumbled across these elsewhere on the forum. Thanks for the peep in - John

Just catching up with stuff while the paint's drying... Autocorrect just wanted to type 'crying' - it must have seen what I was trying to do!!! Interesting to see the differences between the old trike and the diorama one. Love the watery effect, rainy season... Great impression of movement too! ☺
