Nice touch, cute little critter!  Reminds me of the newts we used to catch as kids.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hi there
Just a small point but its quite unusual to find the landscape so dry and cracked next to water.
I know you said the dio` was early spring and it is possible for the cold to crack the ground, but if it`s that cold would reptiles be active?
Mind you I`m probly jumping the gun and you intend to cover these bits with turf etc.
Sorry going back into the cupboard.

PS what do you use for water?

Yep, the "cracked" effect was actually unintentional, and gets covered over...will keep it in mind for future projects, though. I mixed two uncompatible powders together, Fix All and Thinset, and it took daaaaays to dry, hence the cracking.

  Archosaurs really weren't reptiles (at least, that is the current pattern of thought), were warm blooded like birds are, and hunted year round, even in the snow, the the area they frequented would only have been freezing for limited times of the year, and snowfall would have been short lived.

  In this case, I used Enviro-Tech Lite resin for the water...it smells a bit, but not as bad as some other resins, and costs about 17 bucks per pint...just a little more than hot setting resin (fiberglass resin).  If you remember the Arado diorama, I used hot resin on that one, and damn near melted the floats of the plane!

 Glad you all like the fish...it's those little things that make the difference.

Greg, this is looking so damn good!  I loved the ray in your Arado dio and your new lobe finned fish looks to be just as cool  :thumbsup:

Heh, heh, you haven't been to Alberta during summer lately.   B)

Greg, this is beyond even your usual degree of "unbelievably good."

Wow, humbling.

hehe...loved that fish!  I love it when things like that happen in science...

  Thanks all, and yep, she is done, and heading over to the regionals at 9 am today. Went in yesterday to meet up with some friends, and there are some truly wonderful models...I will take pics, don't worry.
