...What was a brand of black bear? I did,nt identify...

PS BTW - and what is your real name Master? :)

Wow! Very nice work! Congrats!

These are so awesome! You have a real eye for seeing the potential in these models, and you manage to make them look so natural. So what's next? Any borhyaenidae or toxodonts in the works?

It's the old Safari black bear now retired but still available. I selected it because of the leg proportions which were wrong for a bear but a closer match for the Barylambda. I plan to do things like toxodon, various deer maybe marsupials. Main problem is time.
My name is Ken Trossen from Rolla, Missouri USA

A few more.

Homotherium serum-Lion sized , occurred from the latest Pliocene until the latest Pleistocene. Remains have been found at various sites between Alaska and Texas. This is the CollectA lioness with alterations to the leg proportions and added fur. The head was narrowed and the jaws lengthened and re sculpt of fur on the face.

Muskox Ovibos moschatus-Pleistocene period to Holocene. Papo yak body with modified Schleich African buffalo head.

They are stunning!

wow, they are absolutely beautifull. I mostly love the ancient deers!!! I've always admired them!!!

amazing Ken,,wel done

all are must haves

Martien

Golly
This is awesome

Those models are just so fantastic !!!!

And thankyou for taking the time to describe both the animals and what you made them from , it is very, very interesting as well as beautyful to see

Two more wonderful works!
So you have a woodland muskox and a tundra muskox, I'm glad not all of them are extinct! :)
The CollectA lioness has a somewhat prehistoric looking, curious seeing that you and Robert used this mold.

Yes, I was surprised to see his also. I guess we think alike.
For now here are the last of my conversions

Syncerus(Pelorovis) antiquus-disappeared around 12,000 years ago from southern and eastern Africa.Close reletiave of modern African buffalo. These were made from Papo, CollectA and Safari African buffalos.

Stegotetrabelodon-extinct genus of elephant or gomphothere from N. Africa and Arabia. Lived around 6-8 million years ago at the end of the Miocene period Converted from Ambelodon.

Sinomegaceros pachyosteus- giant chinese deer from the pleistocene of northern china. this giant deer became extinct 11,500 years ago. it has cousins distributed throughout eurasia, including china and japan. Not sure what deer I made this from. -edit- Ah, it's a Schleich Red deer figure, guess it's retired, too bad!

Stegodon-Stegodonts were present from 11.6 mya to 4,100 years ago. They lived in large parts of Asia during the Pliocene and Pleistocene, and locally in Indonesia into the Holocene epoch. From Safari Ambelodon.

Livyatan melvillei- extinct species of physeteroid whale, which lived during the Miocene epoch, approximately 12-13 million years ago.Measured 13.5 to 17.5 metres. L. melvillei would have been a top predator of its time along with the giant shark, C. megalodon, which was contemporaneous with L. melvillei in the same region. A new head was made for the Schleich sperm whale and since the species was named for Herman Melville, I painted it as an albino in honor of the real life Mocha Dick, the inspiration for Moby Dick.

THE END.

Quite an impressive range of species, and the remodelling is wonderful!

WOW. amazing. remodels. really amazing!

Dear Ken,

you are a great artist indeed and thanks for letting us know various species, to me unknown, and others very far away in my memories( I remember a very old drawing of BARILAMBDA and TELEOCERAS ), simply great!

amazing those new models

martien

Wow!! This is yust AMAZING!!!
I love your Muskox!!!

I've read about your Czech link!
It is great the way you used the 3 different poses of the buffalos to make a fantastic trio of prehitoric cattle. I also don't remember seeing these antlers before in my unexpertised readings about prehistoric creatures. I think it is the recently retired Schleich red deer, isn't it?
I see your preference for impressive creatures but seeing a whale I'll suggest the very known ambulocetos, if you have time of course. That's a very important link in whales evolution what turns the creature very interesting. I hope the end was only a question of time and that we will have the chance of seeing more wonderful works from you. Preferrably if you can share with us all the process as Christophe suggested. It stimulates other members to start making their customs as it is also useful for those that are already more or less used with it.

as Roger said

yes that woud be an intresting serie
i like to see how you made those great mammals

wow, very nice models with great poses, very realistic!!!

I am completely baffled with how realistic they are! These figures are incredible! Great work and keep them coming!

A big, big thanks from everyone, I appreciate it.
And now, for something completely ....uh..well, I give up?? It's what happens when there is too little sleep!! No, actually it's way I am normally. Really!

Frankentherium chimerii- Size ranged from 10 cm to three meters in height, lived in area covering modern Pottsylvania and Moronica. Early Paleocene to Holocene, it survived until the advent of modern human civilization whereupon it promptly disappeared in a puff of logic!

Some criativity is always welcome! With so many parts left from other figures I think you did well making your own Paleonthology project! The only thing that scares me is that brands are very imamginative, mainly Schleich and Papo, and they start using parts of animals to make a puzzletherium or so. Is it a Schleich grizzly with Papo moose antlers and a trunk?

My favorite ever It si not extinxt, no no no , Willy told me he saw it several time late at night. It seems it is acclimated to bar and pub and have a very nocturnal life

haha

we found a new prehistoric mammal

Nice work. I have been waiting for him since the beginning of the thread.

I love your work! Such talent you have to create these
