1, I don't know, I have a Dino I call a Knobblysaur so I'm not really the best person to answer this one. 

2, I paint mine in neutral greys, greens and browns, like modern, real world large lizards or as I imagined they looked.  Some people like the more fantastic colour schemes which looks great and much more exciting.

3, for stability it can be handy to have them on a base.  Also it helps for some rule sets.  If they stand up okay and the rules you're using don't require bases, then you don't need bases.

And monsters can never be too big.

#2 is a iguanodon, as far as I can see from the rather blurry pic. #3 is a Brachiosaur.

Gay dinos, cool 

Maybe that's the reason they went extinct.... (sorry, can't help it when I get the urge).

painted 2 dinos now... one green with extreme highlighting on the face and on grey with crappy paint job grey spikes on back and leaf in hand. will post pics hopefully soon.

You might want to sign up over on the Lost World Safari yahoo group if you're planning a dino hunt. You may find some useful dino painting ideas if you check through the files section:

hi im sure wether this is the correct foruum section but okalee.

Pulp would be the right place, I reckon. I'd move it for you if I was actually any use as a moderator, but I do not have the first clue how to go about doing that. I've only been a moderator a couple of days, and haven't done any moderating yet.

But for now I don't think the dinosaurs are doing any harm here.

I've moved it, Dylan!


I've used this

I think my moderator powers aren't working properly, Prof. The only ability I have is "Set Topic Sticky."

I will check it.

Also, Alex, you may want to check that Plynkes gets this little feature to. I have found it most useful.
