Good comparison pic! The Tamiya might be a nice addition for a Deinonychus.

Darn cute all those. I like the green scheme best, but all are flawlessly done.

That's cool! I never imagined Tamya actually producing Dinos. I've always thought they made (terrific) 1/35 World War II stuff.

Actually I've been looking for Dinos as well. So far I've picked up a few almost rubberlike models by Schleich (a company producing animal figures for children). I must admit that after repainting them they looked somewhat better than before. However, the scale ist not always right. But then again - hey, it's a pulp world and we all know (since the good old King Kong movie from the 30s) that herbivors actually do eat men. I love the raft scene - and found just a suitable dino. Too bad my cameraq isn't working.

Anyway - Grimm, are you presenting your Dino hunt anytime soon? Because I need more inspiration!

The small ones a regular raptors - they were about the size of a turkey.

The largest one is a Utah-Raptor - they grew to a size made famous by the Jurassic Park movie.

Nice ones Grimm. I also did not know Tamiya did dinos.

I have just primed up the Reaper ones and will be researching colour schemes this week.
