   Safari and Carnegie have become better models as of late, with some 

interesting species too.

I just wish some museum/toy company would make me an offer on my  
Antediluvia Collection line of 1/72nd dinosaurs
(www.krentzpresentz.com/sculpture) 
.   I love love sculpting them, but I hate the business end of selling 

them!  I've looked into getting them produced as painted figures but  
the headaches involved there were not worth a garage full of plastic.

 From the Morrison I have done Allosaurus, Stegosaurus and  
Apatosaurus.  The Jobaria makes a pretty good Camarasaurus too!
