Nice!

Have they found many fossil M&Ms, then?

@Bobby Rico, I bought these cute dinosaur plant figures yesterday. (They are tiny!) I’m sure they will last much longer than plants do in my home! 

 

I'm not surprised.

Those are herbivores, they'll eat the plants.

Hi I am really looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with it. If I remember right you had a project in mind.

They are fun I also add the odd stray dinosaurs into a plant pot or two. How small are they then? Very nice I like them.

Here’s a pic with their size. 

[caldigger]

They're about the size of the ones that sprung out of the box I sent Bobby.

Okay.  So here it is as it's intended to look out of the box.  Now for the modifications to make it look more presentable. That will come later.

 

By the way, if anyone is interested, these are cheap, cheap, plastic or epoxy cast parts.  The parts are very plastic (i.e. almost rubber-like, and thin pieces like ribs do not hold their shape well).  Also, the pegs that fit into slots for assembly often need to be trimmed with an xacto knife.  Gluing is pretty much a necessity.  There were lots of BAD reviews on this, which I can understand for parents and kids with high expectations and without the extra tools and skills needed.  However, I knew all of this.  I also knew it wasn't worth the $40 that some online shopping sites were charging. But they are available on my "favorite auction site" for $18 with free shipping.  That was more to my liking for this impulse buy!  And I am liking how it is turning out.

Lol @Peat Burns I bought one also Tony, but after I opened the box, I said to myself- “I don’t think so”. It is not like the 1/32 jet fighters that I use to build in my 20’s and scratch build a lot of the pieces.

[Nimravis]

@Bobby Rico you need to get these for Mrs. Rico-

Me too. Nice paint job on it too. It looks a lot better than on the box even. Is it finished? Great work.

Bahahahaha!  That's funny.  Did you get the cheap price?  Maybe now that you've seen mine, you will be inspired to go ahead with the build.  It took me about 1.5 hours.

 

@Bobby Rico no, it's not finished.  It needs some gap filler, rib supports, a better paint job, and an improved base.

Can’t wait to see it finished then. Tony I am really tempted to get one myself. 

[Nimravis]

Everyone needs these-

@Peat Burns Tony make sure it looks like this-

Oh darn, I attached the head to the end of the tail...I thought something didn't look right!

[caldigger]

At least I didn't suggest switching the arm and leg locations, that would just be weird!  

[Darktooth]

Ok, so these are not mine but they are my son, Devin's plastic dinosaurs.  Most are Legosaurus sp.

[Darktooth]

Note the cute baby Raptor.

My son got that Lego set for Christmas.  It's a cool little set.
