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!

Tyrannosaurus bataar (Formerly known as Tarbosaurus bataar)
Pronounced: tie-Ran-o-Saw-rus bah-tar Diet: Carnivore (Meat-Eater) Name Means: "tyrant lizard" Length: 40 feet (13 m) Height: 16 feet (5 m) Weight: 6 tons (6,000 kilos) Time: Late Cretaceous – 67-65 MYA
This was a very close relative of Tyrannosaurus rex that lived in China during that Late Cretaceous period.
Originally called Tarbosaurus when it was discovered in 1955, it was later renamed Tyrannosaurus bataar after studies and comparisons of the fossils determined that they were from the same family.
This dinosaur helps to show how genus and species are related.
Tyrannosaurus bataar is the same genus as Tyrannosaurus Rex, but a different species.
