I'd like to try my hand at a few dinosaur models, but want to get something that looks somewhat remotely anatomically correct. I've seen a lot, but only a few from companies look good enough to pass as "realistic", not as if I've seen a real one, but I have seen all 3 Jurassic Park movies to get a good idea #:-) Anyway, my question is who makes good dino models, where can I buy them at? Tamiya had a few that looked good, but their T-Rex looks like Yoshi in the Super Mario Brother's Movie. I'd like to get a nice looking T-Rex, but anything would be cool to do.

Brad,
I bought a couple of them from Heller and Revell Germany, I actually don't know if they're "anatomically correct" but they didn't look bad...
Ciao

Tamiya has a variety of 1/35 kits from a set of 6 raptors to a brachiosaur. Your next choice is expensive vinyl kits. The only only other realistic option is to learn to sculpt.

Check out Monsters in Motion -- lots of nice dino models here! http://www.monstersinmotion.com/dino/

never saw a dino-tamiya or revell kit in stores

Here is a link to a hobby shop that specializes in dinos:

Good luck!

Brad,

I think I found what you have been looking for...

The best dinosaur models I have seen is made by Horizon. I am unsure if they have a homepage, but you could try to search... I found some on Ebay (www.ebay.com)

And if you get tired of Dinosaurs, Phoenix models make lots of dragons. Some of them are pretty cool, and fairly Dino-like.

Cheers
Andy

Hey, if you want some really nice dino models, try the T-rex and triceratops at

I have wanted to get these two, but they are just a little expensive.
Hope this helps
