I'll sign off with the species in the palaeontological headlights at the moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex (Rebor) complete with Prehistoric Planet-inspired colouration. The Nanotyrannus revelations of this week will hopefully help us get closer to the truth about these amazing animals.

I've also started a modest collection of newer dinosaur models from PNSO and Haolongood, thanks in large part to Everything Dinosaur. I'm focusing mainly on genera that I liked most a child, plus some I now think are interesting. Here's the current stable, and I'll share more as I get them!

And here is my near-as-damnit complete collection of @nhm-london.bsky.social x Invicta Plastics models, collected between the early 1990s and today. I'm really rather proud of it!
These were the first ever 'Museum Accurate' line of scale figures, so a real piece of paleo-cultural history.

I am missing a few pieces. The Blue Whale and Stenonychosaurus are not in scale with the others so feel unessential. The Dimetrodon and Lambeosaurus are rarer than Oviraptor teeth, and too expensive to justify. Although if you have one of these going, please let me know!

I think I left one of the best till last. This superb Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus model now makes my collection as complete as it will probably ever be.

Being the nostalgia-fuelled millenial collector that I am, I unearthed my old @nhm-london.bsky.social x Invicta models from the loft and set about filling the few gaps in my collection from ebay.
2 marine reptiles, a Baryonyx and a Muttaburrasaurus later, the last model arrived this week.

As I got older I moved on, keeping only a mild interest. Enough to watch Walking with Dinosaurs and other documentaries but not much more. That was until this year, when I stumbled upon the fantasric #TerribleLizards podcast presented by @davehone.bsky.social and @iszi.com. I back in, in a big way.

You may wish to tell your friend Dara 😂

Hi, a follow back would be lovely for this mathematically challenged armchair cosmologist.
