I lost interest in Dinosaurs after catching the end of Jurassic Park on TV for the umpteenth time. But have to say considering that you started with something that came from a pound shop and in its original state looks a piece of tat those are absolute beauties. That is a very impressive paint job.moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372089125688050755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-41379152870861484032013-11-08T14:54:01.962+00:002013-11-08T14:54:01.962+00:00Michael,

I did manage to find someone on a forum that is looking to sell 11 of them, waiting back to see if he likes my price. If you're after more Chinese-fantasy stuff I've had some success sourcing some in my internet trawls.<br /><br />One of my better finds was a cheap and pretty interesting Asian-style dragon by Fenryll, which a number of distributors have; http://fenryll.com/en/260-asian-dragon.html<br /><br /><br />I also couldn't pass up the chance to get a great sculpt of The Monkey King (of Monkey Magic fame), also by Fenryll:<br />http://fenryll.com/en/574-roi-singe.html<br /><br />Fireforge has an upcoming range of Mongols that are looking pretty good too:<br />https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.645137525505575.1073741828.271339052885426&type=3<br /><br />For hero figures this guy in Hong Kogn has some really great and interesting ones. though actually buying them off him has taking a bit of back and forth emailing:<br />http://www.dddhk.com/<br /><br />Happy hunting :)<br /><br />ChrisChris @ Brisbane, AUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765757019534321693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-58211319224198843232013-11-08T14:38:22.310+00:002013-11-08T14:38:22.310+00:00Excellent paintjob Michael, the different colors a...Excellent paintjob Michael, the different colors are really impressive!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-89458172073235977832013-11-07T21:21:23.436+00:002013-11-07T21:21:23.436+00:00Thank you, and wouldn't that make a great scen...Thank you, and wouldn't that make a great scenario - dinosaurs let loose in Victorian park!

I think I got the last pack available in the UK as the remainder of my miniatures coming form John Jenkins private stash in Hong Kong! For that reason alone I'm afraid I'm going to keep hold of these. Thank you though for the idea of using Perr's Korean range - great idea! <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />MichaelMichael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-91604297368098308612013-11-06T21:17:16.111+00:002013-11-06T21:17:16.111+00:00Thank you Simon, a couple more beasties to add to ...Thank you Simon, a couple more beasties to add to the collection.
