looks good, I like the skin texture; makes it look "armored". I'm not so sure about the "teeth". Remember they didn't have teeth; the fangs are part of the bony plates that make up the head. the best way to decribe it would be a turtle head which is what the scientists thought they had found when they saw the skull for the first time. the Cleveland museum has a full size model on thier website or you could look up pictures of snapping turtles that would give you a good idea of what they looked like since thier jaws work the same way. one other interesting fact; this is the oldest animal that the color of the skin is known, maroon/red on the top and iridescent silver underneath. not sure how they figured that out though, but it is cool.

Agree.....Alchemy Works comes a little closer with their version, but thanks for the heads up on the Cleveland Museum info - will keep that in mind when I work on mine!
Who are these guys!?

Love the idea of a new line of related kits, as the Prehistoric Encounters moniker seems to imply.
The Dunkleosteus is one of my favorite prehistoric creatures, so I'm happy to see it featured in a kit - agree with the comments above that it would be better if the "teeth" didn't look separate- they should seamlessly be part of the face, since there was no "skin" over the armored face and the "teeth" were just part of the armor -- but it's not as if the Prehistoric Scenes kits are historically accurate either (the ceratops teeth!) -- all that matter to me is that the scene looks cool, and this kit is certainly off to an impressive start.

Actually, I amend my comment after looking at a bunch of pictures of the Dunkleosteus - some of them are pictured with the "teeth" looking a lot like the sculpt, so great job. fun Dunk video www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ2pAnJdYsc |

Thanks guys we did a little homework from various sites and skulls and thought this was best approach. The other figure I hope will be done in the next month. Its about 90% complete just doing some minor fixes to get it right. Will post more pics as I get them. Thanks Trev for the vouch.

Me too. I love the Chased by Sea Monsters series from the Walking With... BBC production guys, and Augusta/Burian's Prehistoric Seas giant book.
