DINO CAPTURE

[...]

The first photo shows the captured Iguanasaurus.

In the second photo, he's really giving me a look (I had to keep telling myself that he was an herbivore) ...  :klickywink:

IGUANASAURUS

Before any of our Jurassic scientists comment on our captured "dinosaur" ...This was NOT an Iguanodon nor an Iguanosaurus. It was an Iguanasaurus. There is a difference. Click HERE.



Hello, Gepetto ...



Excellent photos Richard! That Iguanasaurus really is a sight.



Thank you, Gepetto!

He was indeed quite a sight ... and, quite a surprise.

Well, Gus ... You asked for a surprise ...  :klickywink:

I must admit, that we were just as surprised when that Iguanasaurus came charging into our base camp.

Thanks again, Gepetto and Gus, for your very nice comments.

All the best,
Richard

DINOS ON LOCATION


This afternoon we returned to our deserted island. We were looking for a potential landing strip for our bi-plane. (Which we never found. That is a very rocky and hilly island!)

However, we did find something else.

We flew low for a photo. And, we got a pretty good photo of a Triceratops. (Andi has done an excellent review of this set (4170). Click HERE.

We're wondering now what else might be on this island.

If the weather is good tomorrow, we'll take the AWD/AT Amphib over for a look around from the ground.

They say that a magician shouldn't reveal his secrets, but, in case you aren't a magician, Richard ...

How do you tie up the plane? :hmm: I can never see any threads, and I don't think it's photoshop applied (oh no :no: ), because the photos are too natural!

Tell us the little secret ;D ... The plane pics are wonderful! ... Gosh!, I wish I still had my two (1 red & 1 yellow). But I ran away from them even before moving to Portugal, back on June 1990 ...

(Then again, I don't think I'd have use for planes 8} ... But they look really great in your compositions! :yup: )

Looking forward to seeing more dinos!!! :D

Lovely pictures and adventure Richard.  :wow:

I think you're lucky the Iguanasaurus didn't find the break-away section of his cage, or he'd have had you!

Once again I'm tempted by the Dino sets, but so far I've resisted, maybe because I live in an urban jungle.  ;)

Dear Gus:  Richard may not be a magician, but, just like Shrek, onions, and certain cakes, Richard is a man of many layers (or so I suspect.)   ;)

Richard:  This is a terrific photo story!  Beautiful photos and witty story - incorporating the native fauna was an inspiration!   :)

Very possible :-[ These guys are all magicians (photo multi-layer artists ...). I should have put the Richard-klicky picture in the sequence of the "Playmobil Word Association" game :hmm: ;D ...

Hello and thanks, Gus!

I will answer your question with a question, "How do you think I made the little bi-plane fly?" ...  :klickywink:



Richard may not be a magician, but, just like Shrek, onions, and certain cakes, Richard is a man of many layers (or so I suspect.)   ;)



I can tell you this, Gus ... "Indianna's suspicions (although pretty good) are incorrect. I did not use PhotoShop or any other layering program to make the bi-plane fly."

All the best,
Richard

Thank you both for your generous compliments.

It might be fun, Martin, to see the Playmo-Dinos loose in your "urban jungle" ...  :klickygrin:

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard
