[PRE-SCENES 2]

a PS style Protoceratops (Update 4/12/07)

On the way is a PS style Protoceratops resin kit created to fit into the scene itself. It's soon to be a reality! I'm taking a poll to see who'd be in favor of owning one! This will be a PS kit that will include a retro style nameplate. To make it a go, I'll need a least 20 committed, More would be even better.
Chris Lynch is sculpting and Alchemy would be casting it up.
Other info will follow!! As will other kits.....

Well, given that it'll be resin, it might be out of my price range, but if it weren't I'd be interested...

Ditto Dr. Brad. Price would be my biggest influence, but it does interest me.

I'd like to keep the price down if I could. But, like you said, its a resin reproduction. I have no info as to what the price would be. All I can show you is the drawing before the Final cut. Mike at Alchemy does a fantastic job of casting. Chris will do a great job of sculpting!
Here's a link. Some very little change has been made to the dino.
The base will fit in the opened area by the N man, C man, Giant bird and Mammoth.

It does look like it will be a nice kit! Any guesstimates as to the actual length of the dino. And here's an idea. Assuming that it's even possible, what about selling the protoceratops without the base?

[the Dabbler]

Or maybe take orders both ways. I personaly don't have or want the entire layout, (I build my own bases) but some do. But that's just a suggestion, I may or may not get one, depending. ??

Hmmmm!
Break up the marriage?
I'll show pics of the prototype when finished and post the price. I'll even find out IF Mike will cast some without bases

Protoceratops itself will be around 5 1/2" by 2". Maybe one or more babies and several eggs.

I bought kits from Mike Evans before and the castings are always of high quality as for the New Ps scene your doing Steve it will be a great asset to the line and and definitly will buy one maybe even two from ya :thumbsup: .

 

[Aurora-brat]

Depending on the price and quality of the castings, I would certainly be interested.

Please keep us posted.

Tory,I have the lost Aurora PS scenes Stegosaurus that Mike Evans at Alchemy reissued again with a base and a baby steg and the casting job that Mike did on it is Fantastic :thumbsup: !

 

[PRE-SCENES 2]

Mike is suppose to have the finest equipment in pressure casting. This is to help eliminate bubbles and get a good clean model.
I too have the Steg from Alchemy and it is absolutley flawless! :thumbsup:

 

[Duck Fink]

I am almost surely to get one if it happens. I like the idea of the base which fits in with the others. I am anxious to see what the kit looks like when completed. The sketch looks great! I like the lurking dino giving the nest of eggs the hairy eyeball. Great idea!

PYRO did a Protoceratops some time ago.

 

[PRE-SCENES 2]

I have a Pyro. This ain't no Pyro!

 

[PRE-SCENES 2]

Quick little update: the base has been started!

 

[PRE-SCENES 2]

Update on the Proto:
I'd say about 80% complete with a few minor changes
Has moveable head (side to side), jaw, legs

Sorry no photos yet!!!

 

[PRE-SCENES 2]

Proto is completed!!!!!! Pics and price will be up soon!!!!!

 

[wrk-N-prgrss]

Ditto on intrest but like everyone $s would be a major factor with my wife now having the majority vote in the Congress. Her spending priority is way diferent then mine ya see. Dollars for food, rent and utilities insurance... Mine of course is (as she puts it) ugly junks of plastic and more ugly and more ug..... Don't you have enough ugly plastic? Yeah, I know she's crazy how could you ever have enough Fantastic junks of plastic.LOL

Funny thing, that. My wife keeps talking about wanting to get useless stuff like furniture. Clearly her priorities are all messed up.
