Raptor Colour Schemes....What do you think?

I've just finished some Ral Partha raptors.
I'm not sure about the colour scheme, what do you think?

Very, very cool, and very, very neat. If you are uncertain, why donīt you place them in front of some jungle terrain, and see how it works out?

What is there to be not sure about? These are awesome!

i think you should strip them down and repaint them a boring green color....that way I wouldn't feel so bad about my raptors. :D
Seriously...great color scheme and great paint job.

Nice!

But I don't like the bases, grey doesn't fit the jungle very well...

Stunning work PM! I say stick with them as they are (but I agree that the bases being gray just seems off).

I like the grey bases. They look volcanic. Primeval.

Lovely.
I mean terrible, terribly bad, really, really bad.
I'm surprised you can bring yourself to even look at them.
Hey, I know, send them to me and I'll promise you'll never have to see them again.
No, don't thank me, what are friends for after all  :)

Wonderful painting PM   :o   :love:  Don't change a thing. I like the bases, nice and neutral that won't look out of place in the jungle or the streets of New York.

Thank you all for the kind comments! :)

I wasn't too sure about the colours. I was going to paint them a lot brighter like some modern lizards but settled for the earthier colours.

I painted the base black/grey because I remember reading somewhere that there wasn't any grass around when these fellas roamed the Earth. Rhoderic was spot on, I got the idea from Primeval. I thought the volcanic landscape looked cool!

Hey Pat "TheOldSchool", have you been peeking at my workbench? It's weird you said about the Streets of New York. I was looking at using my "Zombie Hunters" for another purpose.................Modern Dino hunting!!
It's all Fritzy's fault for introducing me to the Saurian Safari rules! :lol:
Thanks to him I've now got a shelf full of dinos, a 1:43 Hummer I'm turning into a hunter vehicle and 25+ base coated Compys staring at me from my work bench! :freak:
