Before the coming of the night, Edaphosaurus eats a little..

..and does'nt see the coming threaten..

Dimetrodon is very hungry..

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

..and would enjoy to taste a so big Eedaphosaurus!..

..but a rolling stone betrays him..

..and makes Edaphosaurus to escape!..

the race is beginning!..

..during the pursuit, the twoo competitors try to expose, as much as possible, their sails to the sun beams, to get more energy..


[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

..but Edaphosaurus is lighter, its sail is bigger and the distance between the  runners is growing..

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

..so much that Edaphosaurus is now safe.. and can have a rest to save energy..

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

..even after the last sun beams, to find a good hidding place to spend the very cold coming night!..

..The unlucky Dimetrodon has to do the same.. because of the others Dimetrodons!..

the end

(Edaphosaurus from CollectA, Dimetrodon from Papo)

I have a tentative plan to tackle dinosaurs (at the very least synapsids) next year, although I won't be as aggressive as other animals and am likely to focus heavily on Safari figures. However, that CollectA Edaphosaurus is near the top of my wishlist!

Wonderful, mon ami! Your magnific ability for diorama-tales is not limited to modern animals, even so antique ones are magnifically treated here. Reading the title leads inmediately to think in these two mammal-reptiles (Permian + sails? Easy!). And you put in a perfect environment, the harsh dry desert that dominated pangean landscape during Permian!

Thank you Andreas, Blaine and Pardo! :)

One of the nicest presentations among many wonderful ones you presented to us.
I love to see each Christmas traditions and what one used to eat during each era. Edaphosaurus seems to be a good alternative to this season. I have the old Bullyland version, a gift from or Kiki and a figure I still love a lot. The CollectA is undoubtfully nice as it is the Papo dimetrodon. Curiously, I ended without a dimetrodon even if I considered to get the Safari figure at a certain stage.

Thank you Rogério! :)

The beautiful  Paige's pictures made me looking back for old pictures of my Papo Dimetrodon shot on real Permian ground!

Does Papo Dimetrodon looks such a convincing and realistic creature or is it your pictures? It looks like you've found a real animal taking a bath of high sun.

Yes, definitely!
You have made this beauty seem alive!

This model is very convincing. I don't collect dino or prehistoric reptiles but when I saw it for the first time and hold it in my hands in the shop, I could'nt resist to it!

Thank you Rogério and Bonnie! :)

Your photos are simply stunning! Wow oh wow, what a beautiful model on an excellent landscape.

That looks real. Beautiful!

Nice photos. Real looking images

Many thanks Paige, Kelly and Goatherder! :)
