Some New Dinos: Try these on for size!!!

[Pappa Midnight]

I've just picked up a few dinos ( blame Fritzy!) for some Dino Hunting.
I was having a bit of indecision about what scale they should be for 28mm so I've decided that my "Big" Dinos will be really big, just keeping the smaller ( person sized) dinos at a reasonable scale.
The first two are from PAPO:

The mini is a Copplestone miniature to give an idea of scale. The T-Rex is stunning! PAPO are a little expensive but really well painted.

Next up are from FAVORITE. They are 1:50 scale and are also pretty well painted:


I've got a few smaller Sauropods but I couldn't resist this monster from SCHLEICH:


Yes I know it's too big but...........have you seen an Argentinosaurus?


Just waiting for some Copplestone Raptors!

Hi Grimm,
The 1:50 scale dinos are by a company called "Favorite".
I got mine from:
http://www.dinosaurtime.co.uk/

I have found this site in Germany. It's got these plus loads of others. Hope it helps:

Those are some good looking dinosaurs!  Thanks very much for the link to the dino goodness!  

I'd gladly pay the price they want for models when they have that much detail.

Picked up a couple more Dinos.
These are called "Dinosaur Collection" Dinosaurs and some of the proceeds go to the RSPCA ( Royal Society for the protection of Animals). I picked them up on Ebay for a few pounds each. Unfortunately there is no manufacturer or brand name.

The Steg is very nice!


The T-Rex is probably about right scale wise for 28mm but is puny compared to the Papo one. I'll probably use it as a youngster or another Carnosaur.

WoW! Those are some awesome dinos!

I did some quick calculations and the PAPO T-rex is 6.5" tall, which would be about about 20-25 feet tall when compared to the 28mm figure. A normal T-rex was about 15 feet tall at the largest, which would be about 4" - 4.5" inches tall in 28mm.

Still, for pulp adventures it wouldn't be that inconcivable that a breed for super dinosaurs would be found. You should come up with a new name for your "super-sized" T-rex.

Thanks kungfusnwbrdr , glad you like them!

The Papo T-Rex is a huge beasty , which as you said, isn't out of place for Pulp gaming. I was going to use him as a Giganatosaurus , which was basically an oversized T-Rex from South America.

But maybe it's some undiscovered species..............!!?
