Ok, I will be honest here.
At first, I wasn't very excited about the idea of additional kits for the PS line.
Yeah, sure. There was already the stegosaurus, and the parasaurolophus. But the first one Aurora actually had sculpted and intended to use. And the second one was from one of Dave Cockrum's design sketches for Aurora. So they seemed to belong.
But the idea of brand new kits that were probably never even dreamed of when Aurora was pumping out kits, just didn't wind me up.
Even after Steve showed me his design ideas I still wasn't enthused. Didn't help I had a bunch of other stuff going on in my life that distracted me. But, it didn't seem like something I really wanted to get.
That all changed when I saw the finished piece.
Steve did an awesome job designing this little beast. And the sculpting and casting carry out his idea beautifully!

The kit is 14 pieces.
Base, nameplate, body, 4 legs, head, jaw, baby, and 4 eggs.

The base is nicely detailed and fits pretty well with the existing bases.

And what kind of PS kit would it be without a nameplate?

Here is the thing that really sold me on this kit, and got me excited about the others coming down the line. The way parts can be put together.
You can really keep the original PS feel by building this kit with moveable parts!
The head and legs all have metal pins.

The head drops right into place, and fully swivels.

While you do have to do some drilling to get the legs to swivel, the holes are already started so you know right where to start.
This is great for those that want the styrene type feel, or those who aren't very experienced at building resin kits.
And if you are an experienced resing builder, they have already done most of the work for you.
The legs are already pinned, and all you have to do is drill the body and glue into place then putty things up.

Nicely detailed body, that really captures the feel of the other dinos from the series.

And a head that manages to pull of that simultaneously cute and vicious look
that is the trademark of the PS line.

And to finish this masterpiece off, you get some eggs and the cute little baby to go with it!



And now with instruction sheet!
