Saurosuchus and Dinodontosaurus

These next few models builds come from the discovery of that stash I found in the attic. This one is the Saurosuchus and Dinodontosaurus vignette. Sculpted by Chris Lynch and was offered by Ravenstar Studios. which oddly enough offers mostly sci-fi vehicles and mech miniatures.  As a matter of fact when I couldn't remember the names of these animals I did remember Ravenstar. When I went looking they are no longer in the Store.  I wrote and was told the names, as well as being reminded it is a very old kit

The kit depicts  the carnivore Saurosuchus taking down a Dinodontosaurus on, from the rounded stones, a river bank.  The model was very nicely done in the cream color, odorless resin. There was one or two bubbles on the bottom of the log (out of sight) and only 1 small shift in the mold that was easily repaired - 
 Giving it another look, all was well so it was primed.  
Now's the time to start picking out colors. The ground was painted a brown color and the rocks and logs were left primer black as they will get a dry brushing later on. The Dinodont got a base coat of ocher. I'm still thinking about the Sauro. ;)


Stay tuned for part Two. Thanks for looking.
