    Hi mates, do you know any good Dread Saurian proxy/base of? I have thought about papos acrocanthosaurus, but I think its too small. What do you think?

    IIRC I have seen one or two people using a Papo Spinosaurus.
    But you might as well use a Tamiya T-Rex for example.
    There are quite some nice plastic dinosaurs out there.

    Good idea, I have never actually researched this before.

    I have looked at the Papo Spinosaurus before, good looking model. (1/40 scale, 12 inches long, 6" high, review). Papo also has a t-rex model.

    Had to look up the Tamiya T-Rex though, it looks good but this particular model doesn't look quite as detailed as the spinosaurus:

    This one looked good, Reboor T-rex. (1/35 scale, model is 14.50 inches long, 6.7 inches tall, review)

    There are a lot of good ones out there.

    I recommend looking at the Dinosaur Toy Blog, they have a lot of great reviews inside. You can easily search the "top dinos" (spinosaurus, triceratops, t-rex) along the top of the page.

    Also I need to add a link to this previous thread on the topic: Alternative Dread Saurian, started by our very own master of lore, @Scalenex (first of his name, long may he reign).

    And before I forget, here is a unique Dread Saurian model used by @raptorman in his army blog: SOTEK HIMSELF

    This one looks great. Could you take a photo with an official carnosaur to see size comparative please?
