Cliff,

I really like the colors on your Albertosaur. She (I made a command decision to give your Dino a sex!) looks very realistic! What scale is this kit?

Wayne,

I'm looking forward to seeing this diorama too!

i am working on a Ruissian KZKT-537L 8x8 for the Jan GB. just checked and my triceratops does not fit in the cargo compartment but the baby T-rex does, just barely. Hmmmmm another bizzaro thought. i do have a 2 page pdf on using feathers to make ferns. drop me a PM with your email if you want a copy.

Bruce: I said 1/35th but it's probably larger. The figure is resin but I don't remember who made it. She (thanks!) is about 3.5in/9cm tall at the shoulder and 9in/23cm long. The real thing was about half the size of a T.rex, as one guy described the T.rex as a tiger and the Albertosaurus as a leopard. Most fossils were around 30ft/10m long and probably weighed about 3 tons.

Wayne: I'm really interested now in what you're cooking up!

All the builds look great! The paint finishes look awesome (I especially love the Albertosaur's eyes).

Hey thanks Moff, it's just a dot of gold paint with a pupil drawn as a line from a black marker.

Can't remember...did anyone end up purchasing one of those high-end resin dino kits?

Those still interest me...too bad life got in the way of my modeling goals.
