Title: Do you know the company question...?
Post by: i_am_win on 14 June 2012, 01:43:53 AM
OK, anyone out there who could help me identify the company/manufacturer of the excellent resin dinosaurs who were at triples in sheffield last month?
My kids were getting all the flyers and leaflets but didnt get thiers, I really dont have a clue who they were, (I was well out of cash to buy anything, my kids had nearly cleared me out) but they made some fantastic dino models (especially one of a bronto partially eaten!) If any of you were at triples and remember who they were, or know who I mean, any suggestions would be good. They had a stand far opposite from pendraken ( the same side as magister militum and irregular)

I've just searched everywhere for the floorplan which was released online prior to the show, but it seems to have disappeared into thin air!  I'll see if I've still got the printed copy at work, but I've got a feeling I binned it when we got back.

If you don't get any joy from anyone else, I'll pop an email through to the organisers and see if they can help.

Could very well be Magister I think, they seem to be the only ones on that side of the hall who do dino's:

I think from where the map says it was Timewas, i know magister militum do dinos in 10mm, but these were 25/28mm, I bought some stuff from magister, so im pretty sure it wasn't them. I did a search for Timewas but didn't find anything so far. So if anyone knows thier details (website would be nice) Id be greatful to find out. Oh and cheers Leon for the map mate! :-bd

:-\  Not sure I'm afraid.

Some traders bring other items to shows which they don't stock on their websites, often smaller, resale type items made for impulse purchasing?

Could it have been Primaeval Designs from Acheson Creations?  They do a lot of resin Dino's etc.  http://achesoncreations.com/

That's the stuff, exactly what I've been looking for! :) I recognised the dead dino.

I'll send them a message to see who's stocking thier stuff in the UK!

Thanks to all for helping me ID them!!
