Welcome - I hope you enjoy viewing my work. I modify most of my figure kits so that they wind up quite different from the original. (And there is a lot more here than just dinosaurs - so browse on!) I re-discovered the joy of art in mid-life and its been a joy to create and share my vision with others. Art, like all creative gifts, exists to be shared so as to enrich the lives of others.
So this website is my gift to you. If you have an interest in art/sculpting/modeling of all kinds of subjects, I would recommend that you check out the Internet Figure Modeling Clubhouse at
INTERNET CLUBHOUSE and also see
At both sites you will find incredible artists and sculptors, some nationally known. Their work will leave you in awe.
Thank you for stopping by!

Carcharodontosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
Pronounced: car-Car-o-Don-to-Sor-us Diet: Carnivore (Meat-Eater) Name Means: "Shark Tooth Lizard" Length: 46 feet (14 m) Height: 17 feet (5 m) Weight: 8 tons (7,200 kilos) Time: Mid Cretaceous - 100 MYA
Carcharodontosaurus may have been the largest meat-eating dinosaur to ever walk the Earth. This huge predator lived in Africa during much of the Cretaceous period. Originally discovered in the 1920's, it wasn't until the 1990's that scientists found enough of this dinosaur to figure out what it looked like and how big it actually grew. Classification of Carcharodontosaurus, as well as other genera seemingly related to this dinosaur, is still being studied. Whether or not this genus belongs in the allosaur family is the subject of much discussion. Some scientists also believe this genus may be the same as Giganotosaurus.
