Show us your plastic dinosaur

Not a plastic dinosaur but hopefully it fits here. One of my going away gifts from my job in England gave me this custom embroidered purse. I take it everywhere with me.

I like that they're in separate pieces so you can scatter the parts about. 

Reassembly might be a tad hard though. :)

That's why it's important to have a good amount of consolidant in the field. ;)

I never got around to posting my plastic dinosaurs. So here they are.

 

Velociraptor and articulated Saurornitholestes as well as Parasaurolophus since it wouldn't be complete without a hadrosaur. Then some 3D printed skulls. Triceratops horridus and Maiasaura peeblesorum.

Articulated Gorgosaurus. I didn't like it's original paint job, so I repainted it.

Acrocanthosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Brachiosaurus skeletons. Also 3D printed baby Parasaurolophus humerus on the left.

And then last but not least. Though not plastic or a dinosaur, the woolly rhino.

I didn't catch that at first - good eye!  I'm assuming that's an AT-AT - my husband would approve :)

Yup! I also have a Star Wars republic gunship on my desk. And various other ships around my room.

Please think of "plastic dinosaur" in the loosest sense of the term.  it applies to any paleo-related memorabilia.  We'd like to see it all.

My desk mates at work. A cryolophosaurus giving an adorable T Rex a ride and a raptor peeking from my files.

Plastic dinosaurs in “eggs”. Ready and waiting to be dug out by the kiddos. We have already hatched a few. :dinosmile:

Sorry about the quality of the photo.  Here is one of my favorites - fully remote and NEVER removed from the box.  Although the temptation is starting to get to me...…..

Another beautiful vintage drawing I received today :D  This is from a german book from 1912, no reprint, it's an original. 

Back in 1912 this was descriebd as a Gigantosaurus from German East Africa (presently Tanzania). But it's no longer valid now. 

 

For some more info: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantosaurus

Hey there,

 

so was I was looking for a Spinosaurus modell to complement the new teeth and I found this beauty.

With 40,3 cm/15,86" wide and 16,5cm/6,49" high it's just a huge piece.

I like the color and unique pose, but the really unique feature is the tail.

This model was released, before Dr. Ibrahim found the actual tail, confirming the aquatic lifestyle of this beast.

 

Hope you like it =).
