| For
those of you who don't have one of these,
and are suffering a bit of sticker shock
at the price for one. Look over this page
and read a bit of my reviews and see what
you think then. 
First of all, the kit itself is
26 pieces!
The base is another 8 parts.
So, not only is it a whole lot of resin
(see pics at the bottom to get an idea of
the actual size) but it is a bunch of
well cast pieces.

This is one of the most well
designed and engineered resin kits I have
ever seen.
The way the parts are keyed, they line up
perfectly. And they are made so they only
line up exactly how they are supposed to
go. So that takes a lot of the guess work
out of the problem.
Even the tail spikes. Each one has a
different shaped key.
So you know exactly which one is supposed
to go where.
The way the keys are made for the legs
and head, will make it very easly to pin.
No guessing where to put the pins.

To an extent, this even goes for
the back plates. Each one is a different
length, so it isn't very hard to tell
which ones go in which slots in the back.

The new base is very nice.
Cleanly cast. 3 tight fitting pieces for
the base itself along with 4 accessory
pieces to put where you want.
 
And of course the cute little
baby steg that can be a companion piece
for the big one.
 
And for those
who keep emailing and asking where this
goes with the rest of them.
Here are a couple examples of where it
will fit.

In front of, or behind the Spiked
& 3 Horned dinosaurs.
Which also means it can go in front of or
behind the Parasaurolophus as well.

I
am working on a drawing of the base
so I can provide examples of where it can
go on the map.
