The 1/48 Dromader is really interesting - add to my ugly planes collection :giggles:

Prehistoric scene is making a comeback? I know they have the Cave Bear and Saber tooth Tiger out and now Cro=Magnon Man, Woman and Neantherthal Man. I’m so in!

I’ve been waiting for years for them to re-release them. I’ve done almost most of the kits in the series and want to have another go at them.

This is what managed to save at my parents home during a clean out back in 2013 or so.

The original Saber Toothed Cat from the vintage Aurora Prehistoric Scenes series:

No base, but still have partial sets of legs for front and hind leg poses.

The pose above would be used if you wanted mounted atop a wooly mammoth or some other Ice Age creature. :grin:

Wish they'd add the prices like they used to.

Thanks for posting, John! Tom, I’ve seen the test shots for the new release of Prehistoric Scenes kits and they look good.
Make more models!

I know the saber tooth tiger, cave bear and all prehistoric humans are out now. Hoping the rest will follow suit.

The T-Rex was a massive kit - about 2 feet high.

This is cool and a great way to show it. Yeah, I'd like prices too. There was very little for me though in my scale.
