P is for Prehistoric Odds & Sods

That's enough dinosaurs for a while (there's more in the queue!), finishing off with a few which have come in recently worthy of a mention, and a quick follow-up on a recent post, so, in the order in which they were shot, which is pretty-much the order then came in . . .

 

These two came in with a mixed lot, possibly a Charity shop lot, several got subsumed into the whole without dedicated posts, while others only got the highlights shot - like these two? A couple of hatching dinosaurs, presumably from a larger diorama or vignette, painting is quite crude so maybe one of the larger generic window boxes you see in TKMaxx, B&M or Home Bargains?

 

I'd been looking for these, to compare with the other two sets when I Blogged them a while ago

I think we have seen them, or a similar set before, and with the other two now buried in the storage unit, it's a comparison for another day, but there are four of these mini-monoblock party-favour sets to compare, in total I think, maybe five, and these are the pooest, being knackered multi-generational piracies of old US sculpts from the 1950/60's?

 

Shelfied in B&M the other day, I thought the painting was quite good on the six animal models, and with the seeable models not matching the artwork, worth shooting against future ID'ing of loose samples when they come in!

 

While I hope one day to do lots of ID pages, as I've mentioned before, firefighters, AWI/Marlborough, cats, whatever, there are so many dinosaurs, it will be difficult to get them all on one page, so I fear the 'Dinosaur' Tag, here, well always be a fall-back!

 

I got a third Depesche pencil-top to add to the two we saw the other day;

Only, once I'd got it home I wondered if we've actually seen it before, and that was why I didn't get it when I got the other two, so I may have two of them now, but that might encourage me to force one off the pencil and see if it will stand-up!
