Very nice! Where'd you get the carno? |

Thanks! It's a Reaper by Dennis Mize (sniff…). |

nice work, I really like how you made the scales look realistic! |

Umm… Don't *just* bring a Gun to a gun fight? |

Bit hard to get it stabled in town though. |

"nice work, I really like how you made the scales look realistic!" I cheat. Reaper flesh shade ink over the khaki underbelly did all the work. Couldn't be simpler. |

Very nice figure combo, but I gotta ask, how does the rider mount up? Lowered from above like a bull rider while the dino is corralled by very brave handlers? Tranquilizer shot, then a quick mount before it awakens? And what kind of spurs does one use to persuade a Carnosaur to go any direction except where it wants to go? Not that it has to be anything but fun, but still, dino-fans want to know. |

That is awesome! I think the dino goes where he wants cause he's a cowboy and not some green horn city slicker! |

"I gotta ask, how does the rider mount up?" Very carefully… Or more seriously (as serious as you can take this stuff, anyway)… Theropods imprint on the first thing they see when they hatch, like a baby bird. So, if you want to ride a predatory dinosaur, you buy an egg and incubate it until it hatches and make sure you're there when it hatches. They are then fiercely loyal for life. Also, theropods grow very fast. So in about three years, you've got a full grown dinosaur to ride. They lower to the ground for riders to mount. And you make sure they're well fed when you ride into town… |

OK, that sounds good. I have a Triceratops with a howdah for my Dino Hunt games. I thinks it highly unlikely that a grumpy trike would allow such a thing, but it is all just for fun. Large theropod dinos were as much danger to one another as they were to prey. Fossil skeletons show lots of bite marks for the same species. Even mating must have been very tricky. I don't think we can assume because dinos are bird-like, that they would behave like baby ducks. But hey, it's a game. |

Nice job. I've been considering that mini (the carno, not the cowboy) as a basis for a Devil Dinosaur model. Nice to know Moon Boy will look good "in the saddle" as it were. :) |

Ya know, I just recently discovered Devil Dinosaur, and now I've been hearing about him constantly. Have I not been paying attention? I read Marvel comics for years and years and never heard a mention. Now in about a week I've come across references at least four or five times. Weird. Have you found a Moon Boy? |

Excellent work! "Aim low, boys--they're a-ridin' raptors!" Mulligan (Anybody know where we can get the soundtrack to "The Valley of Gwangi"? Weirdly enough, it's one of my favorite Western soundtracks.) |

artslave: "And what kind of spurs does one use to persuade a Carnosaur to go any direction except where it wants to go?" Very, VERY sharp ones!
 ----------------- Great paint job. I'm very impressed with the whole package. nicely done. |
