Showing up now!

Wow, that's awesome!!! I love the paint work! If they didn't look like this they should!

BTW: what scale/ about how big is it?

Glad that isn't real, or I'd never go outside again.....

Very cool!  I love your work on the skin patterns, really great!

Thank You! This is David Silva's Creative Beast http://creative-beast.com/  Its 1/16th scale, length about 18"  This paint job was strongly inspired by Coelophsis from Walking With Dinosaurs  

Thank you. Yeah when I finished painting him it looked like he could go walking off!

Thank You for looking  

Thank You! The fun part about painting it, was trying to copy the pattern on the other side. I took a picture of the right side to try to get the same pattern on the left.

Oh Dang , Here's a link "If It Works" to my YouTube video I made from Start to finish. The music I used was The Right of Spring. I don't know who else remembers the first Fantasia?    

That's cool and well painted. doesn't dilophosaurus have that frilly neck thing that was shown in Jurassic Park? i ask as i built one of the JP kits (looks better without it)

Thank You!  In Jurassic Park they mixed other DNA to get a complete DNA strand and I'm thinking that maybe a little DNA of the Frilled lizard. There no way to really tell if it had any frills or not or they spit  

But in fact when they first found Dilophosaurus the crests on the top of its skull were not attached. And in Jurassic Park the Dilophosaurus isn't even a Adult. The full Length of one is up to 20 to 23 feet long and around 5 1/2 feet tall at the hip. The one in Jurassic Park is no where near that tall or long.

I would hate to think that it hunted in packs. With the thinness of its Teeth it was more like a bite and run predator and let its prey bleed out. Unlike a T-Rex that with the most powerful bite 1500.00 pounds could bite and kill anything it wanted.    

Thank You for Your Time.

The neck frill in the movie was a complete fabrication on the part of Spielberg & Co, as was depicting the animal as much smaller than the real thing.  In his original novel, Crichton described the animal according to the best info paleontology could currently provide, and then added his own speculative plot device that Dilophosaurus was poisonous.  I think the producers did what they did more because someone thought it would "look cool" more than any other reason.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--I read Jurassic Park when it was first published, and I thought to myself, "This would be a great movie, if someone could only figure out how to animate the dinosaurs realistically."  A couple of years later, when the movie came out, I was excited to see it. But after seeing the changes made to the story, I thought it would've been a much better film had they left out all of the human scenes and just shown the dinosaurs.  And a couple of years later, riding the wave of renewed interest of JP, the BBC did just that, with their "Walking With Dinosaurs" series.

I have also read Jurassic Park. Even in the book Crichton took some creative license in making the Dilophosaurs spiting the paralyzing guck. There's no way to prove any Dinosaur did that.

I thought, scene they mixed amphibian DNA to get a complete strand. That maybe because of that something of that DNA caused it to grow the frills.

And also being a Young Dilophosaurs that it might need them to make a smaller Dino look bigger.

But they also have never found any muscle scares to help support the weight of flinging it up fast, But yeah they did it to make it look more scarier, Like it needs it in the first place!

Thank You for Your Time.
