[hollow wraith]

@frosty ermine @south agate

[dire crest]

I FRICKEN LOVE DINOSAURS

Lord of the Print on MMF has some very nice dinosaur stls. They're quite pricy though maybe.

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-spinosaurus-217408

I'm partial to their spinosaurus model.

[frosty ermine]

I was thinking my monster hunter anjanath!!!

[dire crest]

I'd love some monster hunter models T.T where did you get it?

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-protoceratops-217285

Protoceratops is also very nice.

[hollow wraith]

I got that monthly bundle

I'm also tempted by something like this

[frosty ermine]

From the tribe this month!!

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/printedobsession

[dire crest]

That's quite a unique style haha, maybe not for me

[dire crest]

Grats! I'd like it, but I have so many things to paint, I'm trying my best to avoid the 3d printing spiral of doom

[hollow wraith]

@dire crest do you have q printer

[dapper lynx]

Does this qualify 🤷‍♂️

[dire crest]

I don't, I have a friend with one. I have no room, and likely no patience for it haha

[frosty ermine]

Omg yes!!! Lol

I’d say so lol

[south agate]

is dinosaur is qualify

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-20591327

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-the-lost-continent-complete-set-presupported-209203 going to paint something from dragon trappers lodge

...probably

[hollow wraith]

@dire crest check your dm

[hollow wraith]

Oooo love those

[south agate]

They are fun

[cursive creek]

Would that strange dinosaurkinda thing with wings roughly glued on, that my daughter got for my birthday qualify for this PAL?

[sterile phoenix]

count me IN

[sterile phoenix]

there’s also a dragonalong LOL

[cursive creek]

I have another one for dragon along 😉

[sterile phoenix]

i feel like when it comes to fantasy the distinction between dragon and dinosaur is blurry 😳😳

[cursive creek]

I could maybe cut the wings and sculpt the missing scales with milliput, but since I have never tried to do it, it seems like a risky task. (and my daughter might not like that I transform the mini 😳 )

[sterile phoenix]

nooo keep the wings!! exactly

im fine with it for dinosaur 😭😭 pterodactyls have wings and warhammer salamanders are dinosaurs who breathe fire so clearly there’s some overlap 😭😭

[tropic needle]

would painting a dino plastic toy count? (I'd prime it ofc)

I got a few of those, some of which could use a better paintjob

[tropic needle]

otherwise I got a... (checks notes)... a dunkleosteus from Reaper (some sort of ancient armor fish)

[hollow wraith]

Yes its still a dino 😊

[sterile phoenix]

yes for shee

sure***

some dino toys look really good with a repaint

[south agate]

Finished this guy today, only a month early

[magic rock]

I'm in.

[undone kestrel]

Got this bad boy in my backlog

[hollow wraith]

Heck yeah

[undone kestrel]

I was planning on painting it in the last bustalong but had to move into my old house back then 🤣😅

[dapper lynx]

Built and primed 🥰

[frosty ermine]

Do the Pokémon dinosaurs count?!

[undone kestrel]

Those are amazing sculpts. Do you know where they come from?

[frosty ermine]

I sure do

It’s the tribe for this month

Hold please

[frosty ermine]

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Mini Monster Mayhem

This months tribe has both set 1 and set 2

If those count I’ll do those!! Otherwise I’ll do a monster hunter one I have

[hollow wraith]

I mean they do look like dinosaurs so I'm inclined to say yes

[random onyx]

I'm reasonably certain this is gonna be in next month's OnePageRules patreon - in which case I'm 100% painting it for this lol

[frosty ermine]

Omg that’s amazing

[random onyx]

I'm obsessed with their epic miniatures. I just...love big minis lol

[hollow wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dance-happy-dance-dino-dinosaur-gif-15385331

Bumping this as my reminder to work on it and I think some may have forgotten 🦖

[tribal frost]

Would a Dodo count?

[dapper lynx]

Shit, you’re right!!! I totally forgot!! Thanx @hollow wraith

[hollow wraith]

According to the googs (which confirmed my suspiciona) they weren't dinosaurs 😢 so I sadly have to say no

[cursive creek]

Found a nice Baby dino for this one!

[dire crest]

Well 'technically' all birds are dinosaurs. 🦖

[hollow wraith]

We aren't painting descendants from dinosaurs and as our mighty admin mentioned if you have to ask if it fits the PAL theme, you probably already know it doesn't

[dire crest]

Well ahcktually birds aren't descendants of dinosaurs, they're dinosaurs.
This is dinosaur talk not PAL talk lol, no problem.

My spino will hopefully be printed soon, ty btw ty

[hollow wraith]

-2 friendship points for being difficult 🤣

[south agate]

The rules for this one do say Dino or prehistoric creature, I would say that still excludes dodos unfortunately due to them having lived well into the modern era

[frosty ermine]

He’s printing!!!

[south agate]

This will be my project if the wind dies down enough to prime

[frosty ermine]

So seeing mine printed

He looks quite a bit less Dino than anticipated

But nonetheless

Dinos wear armor

And have hammers….

[hollow wraith]

Here's my lil happy boy I printed for this.

[hollow wraith]

Added a bit more work to it. But a lot more to come

[south agate]

I envy how much you get done

[hollow wraith]

All you need to do is not have any social life or other hobbies

I could of got further but i had to clean my airbrush becussd I was tired of the clogged life struggle 😭

[wispy sage]

Y'all don't use the absolute perfect dinosaur minism I'm disappointed!

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-dodos-riding-dinos-print-play-included-144089

[hollow wraith]

Okay its super adorable. Also I will gladly accept gifts in the form of stls or minis of these bbs

[wispy sage]

I'll remember to annoy you when the last drd Kickstarter goes online

[hollow wraith]

Please do

[willow wren]

I have this ancient Grenadier Smilodon mini from the 1980s, is it prehistoric enough for this?

[dapper lynx]

I think if Dodos 🦤 are out, then a saber tooth wouldn’t fit either 😭

[hollow wraith]

Sabertooth cats are one of the more popular prehistoric animals so it's fine

[north remnant]

Sabertooth tigers were alive when early humans existed

dinosaurs were NOT

[hollow wraith]

Google said they were prehistoric 😭

[north remnant]

I mean, wikipedia says they were alive 2.5 million years ago, up to 10,000 years ago, dinosaurs went extinct 60-70 million years ago

[hollow wraith]

So do limit it just to dinos. I'll change the pin

There fixed

[north remnant]

It's called dinoalong, so I'd say yeah only strictly dinosaurs

So YOU'RE OUT @willow wren get a dinosaur

https://giphy.com/gifs/stickergiant-umpire-sticker-giant-ump-gjc0emtW4OGMMW29Vv

[willow wren]

Well, techically, "prehistory" refers to anything more than approx 3400 years (or so) ago, when they invented writing. But it's a fair cop. Dinos it is.
New knowledge here is that all dinos were herbivorous and lived in peace with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, as proven in this book "Dinos in Eden" by Ken Ham, the creationist. As we see here in the drawing, the Carnotaurus likes Cavendish bananas.

[willow wren]

How about this one? OK for this? Another old mini that I do not know what is.

[north remnant]

Looks like a dino to me

[wispy sage]

Let's call it a dimetrodon. Boom, dino!

[south agate]

My first attempt at a zenithal style prime job

[hollow wraith]

Progress

[south agate]

looking good

[dapper lynx]

Early WIP 🚧

[hollow wraith]

Calling this bb done also including a pic of the base because I love the rocks

[lament epoch]

Who is that from by the by?

[hollow wraith]

It's from BlueWyvern

They also have dino centaurs

[lament epoch]

Danke. I know I've looked at them in the past but never pulled the trigger

[hollow wraith]

I just found them this month and subbed for the first time

They are doing like pandas and such next month. I'm excited

[dapper lynx]

Started edge highlights

[cursive creek]

Looks neat!

[dapper lynx]

Thanx

[lunar reef]

Do Seraphon count as dinosaurs?

[hollow wraith]

Yes

[lunar reef]

Yeeee

[south agate]

Progress

[hollow wraith]

Oh i love this !!

[south agate]

Thanks

[dapper lynx]

Waiting for the base to dry

[hollow wraith]

That looks awesome.

[dapper lynx]

Thanx ☺️

Just have to paint the rim black

[brazen schooner]

Grimlock?

[dapper lynx]

I totally forgot about him

[dapper lynx]

Finished

[frosty ermine]

That oooks so good!!!

[willow wren]

Finished the Sailback.

and you cannot suppress free thinking! I did the smilodon too! So there! After all, something has to eat all those cavemen since the carnotaurs only want bananas.

[brazen schooner]

Cute.

[south agate]

It is done!

[frosty ermine]

Okay printed a new Dino

Now to figure out my life with colors

[brazen schooner]

I got a dino to paint.

[frosty ermine]

We trying stuff and things lol

That’s a better pic

[magic rock]

I'm in.

[frosty ermine]

Too many spikes and gems and armor ahhhh

Egged gem angle lol

[frosty ermine]

So tired of this Dino lol

[frosty ermine]

Aghhhhhh

Almost done lol

The other side was left lol

Just a little left 😭😭😭😭

[frosty ermine]

Donnneeeee

[fervent compass]

First time doing a paint along how does it work?

[frosty ermine]

Post WIPs here and then when it’s done you can post in #request-points following the rules in the pins and noting it’s for this PAL

The points enter you into a raffle and make your name a cool color overtime

And the PALs are fun to see what everyone else is doing as part of the community

[fervent compass]

@frosty ermine thanks! I’m excited to join this is gonna be fun

[frosty ermine]

It’s so fun!!

The WIPs are fun and to talk to people here

[fervent compass]

Yeah it seems like a really cool community, I just started painting in Jan so I’m learning a lot just seeing other peoples work

[frosty ermine]

One of the best ways to learn!! I started really studying paints I liked on instagram and it’s helped me a ton

[dapper lynx]

Welcome 🤗

[fervent compass]

Thanks! I look forward to learning from you guys

[fervent compass]

Printing my Dino now….only 5 more hours to go lol

[frosty ermine]

Yassssss

[fervent compass]

If it’s successful it will be the biggest model I’ve printed yet

[frosty ermine]

You got this!!!

Speed paint lol

I’m about to do my dragon lol

[fervent compass]

I was gonna try it! Lol zenithal and then speed paint him

[frosty ermine]

Yassss

I did the drybrush method for the dragon to see how it compares to zenithal

[fervent compass]

Which did you like better?

[frosty ermine]

Lol not sure yet

Gotta do the drybrush one

[south agate]

What are we printing?

[fervent compass]

A gigantosarus from lord of the print.

[brazen schooner]

I like the sound of that.

[fervent compass]

Got him together now time for gap filling and base, then on to prime

[fervent compass]

Gap filled and based, ready to prime

[south agate]

What did you use for gap filler

[fervent compass]

Some resin, a q tip and uv flashlight

[south agate]

It's very nice

[frosty ermine]

Wow

That’s AMAZING gap filling

[fervent compass]

Thanks!!! It worked pretty well, I’m pretty happy with it. Now on to primer

[fervent compass]

What you guys think so far?

[fervent compass]

Does the blue and white work? @frosty ermine

[hollow wraith]

I love those colors

[frosty ermine]

Sammme!! I think so! Unless you wanna go BRIGHT with a yellow or like a purple! But I’m crazy for color so im biased lol

[fervent compass]

Oh cool! I’m glad you guys like it too lol, I’ll post one of it done probably tomorrow

[fervent compass]

I’m looking for a tundra base idea, what you guys think?

[hollow wraith]

Ooo Ice crystals would be cool

[fervent compass]

Getting closer

[fervent compass]

Crap I’m not gonna have it done tonight lol

[south agate]

its looking good though

[frosty ermine]

That’s okay you have all of March too!!

[fervent compass]

Oh for real?! Sweeeeeet

[frosty ermine]

Yeah!! So if you see the dates at the top it lists the time period all PALs are two months long

[fervent compass]

Nice! That just made my day lol

[fervent compass]

Does this base read as ice???

[fervent compass]

@frosty ermine

[frosty ermine]

If you have a cooler blue I’d drybrush with that then a super light one of white to help really sell the ice effect!! It’s looking good though!!

[fervent compass]

I’ll try that, thanks!

[novel ridge]

For Dino Along (or Little Big Along if I run late.) I’m thinking of basing them with separate interlocking bases, so baby can get lost sometimes.

[frosty ermine]

They’re so cute!!!

I love that

[fervent compass]

Played around with some ice effect what do you guys think?

[frosty ermine]

Ohhh I like that better!

Has more of that frosty feel

[hollow wraith]

Very cool effect

[fervent compass]

Ok think I’m calling it done

[novel ridge]

Messing around with colorshift priming, will zenithal cyan spray them tomorrow.

[novel ridge]

I can work with it

[hollow wraith]

It's so adorable I love it

[frosty ermine]

That’s kinda cool AF

I never thought of doing that

[brazen schooner]

Awww

Couldnt prime my bigger Dino yet, so I painted small ones.

[hollow wraith]

Cute!

[brazen schooner]

Finished small dinos.

[leaden ridge]

No idea if I'll have time to paint this before the end of March, but just in case, here's a classic airfix triceratops I just built 🙂

[south agate]

you can do it, I believe in you

[brazen schooner]

Its adorable.

[novel ridge]

I’m gonna try and speed run this Walmart T Rex for Dino Along. Will be close.

[novel ridge]

What I’m going for…

[novel ridge]

Getting there.

Did a lot. gotta take a break for a bit...

[frosty ermine]

Looks amazing!!!

[novel ridge]

Finished this guy.

lol it thinks my T. rex is explicit content wth?

What is explicit about last two pics lol?

[hollow wraith]

Your thumb 🤣

The filter has issues with hands lok

[brazen schooner]

A lovely Dino.

[cursive creek]

Last mini of the month. Better pic tomorrow after the usual ultra matte varnish.

[hollow wraith]

I would die for him

[cursive creek]

You should probably get the Arcadia quest pets expansion then...

[frosty ermine]

Omg

He’s amazing

I love him

[cursive creek]

Nicer pic while my terrain dries
