Styracosaurus Maquette

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

That one pic showing the Deino amid the others really shows how big it is..the Para looks larger than the Rex on the Rex VS Trike Dio...heh heh

Scale with the other statues doesn't bother me. This piece looks so very beautiful and monstrous. March can't come soon enough.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I'm not complaining to be sure...just pointing how really nice and HUGE it is..

I'm assuming you do mean the Styrac and not the Deino. Congrats!

 

[mikkipog]

I recently ordered this acrylic case to shelter my Styracosaurus in. I don't think i'll have to worry about dust touching this guy.

The website I purchased these from is casesforcollectibles.com, if anyone is interested. They can be rather expensive, since they custom make each case. I felt it was worth keeping my statue free of dust.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Nice. I've often thought of going for display cases but the negatives out weigh the positives for me, I mean they increase the space the pieces take take up and yeah you don't have to dust the piece but the case does need dusting. On the other hand it def looks more professional and artistic..and painting the wood base black or sealing it in a darker stain would look really great I bet.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Nice Jeremy, where'd you get that display? That's the kind of case I want to be displayed in. Particularly since the toilet paper is very handy.

 

[Jeremy K9]

I got it from casesforcollectibles.com. Not sure what you mean about the toilet paper.

Btw, I fixed my Para skeleton today. I kept putting it off for fear I wouldn't fix it properly, but everything went smooth.

Those rolls look awfully small, unless they are thrown in for free I wouldn't bother with them. I suppose they would be useful for wiping the dust off the case...

Look very closely at your picture...

Same here. I figure I can spend money on collectibles or on cases for the collectibles. Although I'm losing the dust war, gotta get to that this weekend its been far too long. I always wonder how dusty and how long they have to be dusty to do damage. I'm hoping to upgrade to shelves with glass doors soon to combat the dust problem. Some invisible tape should seal the cracks between the doors nicely.

Thanks Agent0028. I totally forgot those were in the background.

They can be an extra expense, but i'm too lazy to dust every statue I own. That's where this baby comes in. Much easier to dust flat surfaces, than a statue with nooks and crannys.

Casesforcollectibles... I like. I like very much. Thanks for the find!

And you don't have to worry about breakage. I broke one of the tusks off my Darth Vader PF dusting.

No problem.

Thinking of sheltering your dino collectibles?

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Wait, Vader has tusks?

 

[Agent0028]

Those little silver things on the side of that triangle where his mouth is. I think they are referred to as tusks.

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Oh, that's what I suspected they were. Maybe I should have signed up for biomechanoid physiology 101.

Hey, it looks like a certain famous paleoartist joined Dan's Dinosaurs on Facebook. First person to name him gets a cookie.
