My Aurora Prehistoric Scenes models

[SUP-Ronin]

Nice set so far, those look like fun. Great paint work.

Ape3978 - very nice of you to offer those up.

All parts given away.

[apes3978]

By any chance do you have a picture of what you've got?

Sean

No, no pictures because I don't have a camera... If you're still interested, you can PM for more details...

Free to a good home: One box of assorted Dinosaur model kit parts. Nothing is complete, and a lot of it is painted. All I ask is you pay shipping. PM if interested.

And anyone who "flips" toys, don't PM me. This stuff is being given away in hopes someone can USE the stuff, it's not being given away for you to profit from.

>that takes alot of room from what I have seen.

It'll fill a 6 foot by 2.5 foot table.

>I have also gotten the full Tamyia dinosaur model line that is similar to the Aurora line as far as interlocking bases,

I've seen those! They're very nice, and hard to resist!

>I had at least two of those Tar Pit kits when I was a kid.

When it comes to collectibles, "rare" is a relative term. The Prehistoric Scenes are all fairly common. I suspect it's 'cos they made a zillion of 'em back in the day. When I was a kid they were sold EVERYWHERE! I got most of mine from a nearby corner store. If you're patient you can get all sorts of 'em. (I snagged a first release cave, missing two small pats, with all paperwork AND decent box for about $10.)

>Seemed like the 'common leftover' kit back then that nobody wanted.

Yup! The rhino was only a head and had limited play value so I bet that's why it wasn't so popular. And it's usually the leftovers that become the super-rare collectibles since nobody bothers hanging onto them.

What a terrific display!

Somewhere in my boxes, I still have a couple of those (built-up).
Must sort them out.

Photos like these bring back memories!

(They make a repro Tar Pit; one of the rare kits.)

Funny, I had at least two of those Tar Pit kits when I was a kid. Seemed like the 'common leftover' kit back then that nobody wanted. I always wanted the Sabretooth Tiger but never got him. Had a couple Pteradactyls too.

Great job on those kits...they look great!!!

[toys2cool]

Those are awesome! I love the Saber tooth tiger

Heee heee!
Yours look good; but have you thought about assembling the display with them? I built a table specificly so I could put them all together.

Thanks for links and comps guys!!
Yes,I will try and see if I can display them all together in their appropriot spots, but that takes alot of room from what I have seen.
I have also gotten the full Tamyia dinosaur model line that is similar to the Aurora line as far as interlocking bases, only it has updated and accurate dinos, and produces a huge diorama when done as well. I'll start working on that line soon as well and I may do the same as fas dispalying that line as well.

Heee heee!

Those are great! It's nice to see there are a few more folks trying to put together a set. It's tricky putting a set together. (After a LOT of years I think I have at least 80% of all of 'em.) It's also interesting that everyone I've seen who collects these kits is BUILDING them and not just hoarding them.

>I don't ever think they were ever intended to be "accurate" in any sence of the term even back then.

Well.... most of them WERE pretty accurate, but they're over 30 years old, and we know a lot more about some of these beasties. The only real error I've noticed is that the Cro-Magnon Man seems out of scale with the rest.

>Check out my buddy Trevor's website:

Yeah; check that one out! It's probably the best site for the kits. (PLUS he's got the instructions there!)

Other good sites:
Welcome to The Parts Pit (check out the "new kits" section for custom kits for making NEW dinos, and the Borealis section for repro bases.)

Do you got anything you would like to sell???
I need some Tar Pit parts and I'm looking for a complete or mostly complate Cave Bear kit.
These are great kits!!
