Yes- this kit was the only non-Aurora dinosaur model kits that I had as a kid that I didn't consider lame.
It's a great little kit- the Trex and the Struthiomimus (maybe?) are nicely sculpted and have a nice dynamic pose to them;it's a classic dinosaur chase scene we all probably drew time and again as kids! The Addar "In A Bottle" kits introduced me, as a kid, to the ideas of adding lichen and other non-plastic things to a diorama. Make sure that the dinos and everything else are securely glued in place because once tose bottle halves are glued together there's no getting back in to fix things (trust me- I found that out as a kid too!). Speaking of gluing the bottle halves together- the ol' Testor's model glue fogged the hell out of the seams and an inch or more along the clear plastic! I think you need to use a different glue with clear plastic.

I had one as a kid and I thought it was pretty cool so I picked one up from ebay.... I stripped the old paint off and now I just have to fill seams and paint and we're good to go. A nice blast from the past!

Just nabbed a mint-in-open-box one of these myself on eBay for less than $25 delivered! Amazing deal for this vintage kit!  |

I tell ya, if only I had disposible income, I'd be buying up all of these kits mentioned in this particular forum; built or unbuilt. But, alas, I haven't the means so I have to maintain focus on certain subjects to acquire to fulfill my collections. so, I just sit back and enjoy (envy, really!) what treasures everyone else acquires. It's sad really!  |

I hear you Steve.
But I console myself with the thought, that if money was no object, then there would be no thrill of the hunt.
Being able to buy everything I wanted, whenever I saw it sounds good at first.
But I think it would get old quick. Plus I would really run out of room at an alarming rate.

I'm bargain shopping myself. The thrill is getting a kit for a lt less than it should've gone for!
Since I got this ADDAR dinosaur scene for cheap I'll have no qualms with gping ahead and building it up!
