This flock of flamingoes over the sea in Yucatán look like a group of pteranodon dinosaurs in the sky.

Many thanks to Uan Ceriaptrix that created this fantastique whale skeleton and was so kind to offer me one,it is really well made!

This pteranodon has such attitude I just know that if it were to become real, we might become fast friends. At least until it invited me to lunch. Unfortunately, it would be a one time event.

Re-photo from a new book I'm currently reading, "The Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World," which is off to a great start:
www.goodreads.com/review/show/4749121072
Definitely one to feed your Inner Dino-Geek! Such as the Texas pteranodon Quetzalcoatlus, which was as tall as a giraffe! Literally! And could fly! Whoa. Likely the largest and heaviest flying animal, ever.

The height of Opsidian power sits atop Mount Opsido—the empire's only free-standing mountain. Dark, angular, and breathtaking, the fortress bears the name Montravelle.

First off, yes. This is a digital build. And huge, huge thanks to Renderbricks for helping me out with the gorgeous render! :D But don't express "Aw, if only it could be done with real bricks!" disappointment yet. All of these parts (excluding the guard's fancy dark orange scarf and his slightly modified head) exist in these colors. Although it is tempting to give in to infinite possibilities, establishing an "only what exists" limit—outside of minifigures—challenges me personally to work with what I have and gives me a nice warm feeling that this could actually be built physically.
Now here's the part where I tell you buying that amount of bright green off of BL is extremely difficult. But it's the principle of the thing that counts. ;)

Regarding the build itself, my main goal since beginning the project has always been to take some of the famed "staleness" out of the castle genre. I incorporated a more unique style of architecture inspired by two builds of mine from five years ago. Very gothicky and mainly achieved thanks to those delectable pteranodon jaw parts. Also experimented with a more unique layout that flowed with the landscape instead of cutting through it. My favorite part overall, though, is the contrast in color and shape between building and mountain, which I think makes the MOC pop the most. So when all is said and done, I hope Montravelle at least qualifies as a fresh take on the old theme.
And that's about it.
Just one big fortress from a one-time imagined fantasy world once to be admired and never to be returned to again . . .
. . . unless this could also be the start of something bigger.
Who doesn't think dinosaurs are cool. Prehistorica is a great place to visit for photographers. You can temporarily rez things long enough to take a picture usually.
It's really for people changing into dinosaurs but I rezzed a campfire for a scene in my video. It's trickier if you're videoing because autoreturn is 5 min -- seems a little longer though because I was able to move my campfire across the doorway to a better spot and get my shot before it disappeared.

Location: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fort%20Nowhere/128/249/1103
The Landing Point is in their crossroads: choose Experiences, Avatars or Hangout.
To get to the land of the Dinosaurs:
* head for the door that says "Experiences"
* hang a left to "Dawn Kingdoms: Time Travel Experience"
* go through the portal
You will land on a beach.
There's a dinosaur you can ride; just click on the Gallimimus or the Pteranodon.

I am experimenting with 2 different pictures/thumbnails for my youtube video. This is my 2nd thumbnail. I usually don't like that much "empty" space but it works well for text.
C'est un montage
Contrairement aux idées reçues, le Pteranodon n'était pas un oiseau mais un diapside volant ou ptérosaure qui a vécu au Crétacé supérieur. Grâce à ses ailes composées de fines membranes de peau tendue comme les chauves-souris, le Pteranodon pouvait voler en battant des ailes.

Brachiosaures, Tricératops et Ptéranodon
Le Brachiosaure est l’un des plus gros animaux ayant jamais foulé la surface de la Terre. Il mesurait 23 mètres de long (soit une longueur de piscine !) et près de 13 mètres de haut... Une taille nettement supérieure à celle de ses congénères. Ce paisible herbivore se nourrissait exclusivement de végétaux. Une chance pour les autres dinosaures !

Again a new picture from the Lego DIno book ! You have plenty more to discover in the book ! ;-) (Only in french for the moment) ----> www.amazon.fr/Legodino-Florent-Goussard/dp/2344024298
Our paleontologist's couple are riding their motorbike on the edge of a cliff in order to photograph a bunch of pteranodons flying by !
One of my very favorite picture of the book. Because for once it's a sunny one, because of the minifig's posing which was very difficult and because of the feeling of motion on the motorbike, on the background and on the dinos ! ^^
LEGO DINO is a 144 pages book done in collaboration with Florent Goussard, a paleontologist working at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. It is a real scientific book about dinosaurs illustrated by my pictures and the great drawings of Patrick Biesse.
The concept is simple : a book for all ages that talks about the dinosaurs and also the paleontologist job. Most of the time it takes the shape of a paleontologist's field notebook, the paleontologist showing to kids his personal notebook, reading it, is almost like having the chance to watch Dinos in the flesh.
First light for my new Askar FRA300 Pro telescope!
A wide field view of this rich star formation region in the constellation Cygnus, right in the arm of the Milky Way. The North America nebula is a large HII region that gets its name due to its resemblance to the North American continent. To its right and separated by a dark molecular cloud is the Pelican Nebula, another large HII region with active star formation. While it's named for looking like a pelican's head, I personally think it looks more like the head of a pteranodon / pterodactyl.

hall 10 - dinosaurs
The principal element of the hall is a central platform where the large skeletons of Diplodocus, Allosaurus and Iguanodon can be viewed from all sides. The dinosaur podium is animated by the Animatronics-model of an Allosaurus, correlating with the skeleton cast of a 150-million-year-old Allosaurus fragilis from Utah. Measuring more than 6 m, the very realistic model represents a “youngster“ of this most dangerous predator of late Jurassic.
A full-size Pteranodon model with a wingspan of 7 m dominates the air space of the hall. Further highlights of the exhibition are the skeleton of Archelon ischyros - the largest turtle ever, a female ichthyosaur with fossil embryos and several pterosaur-skeletons

Happy Sunday
Ramphorynchus muensteri : 1,80 m d'envergure, entre -160 et -145 millions d'années, Jurassique (Mésozoïque). Son nom signifie bec-mâchoire. Les études de ses dents et du contenu de l'estomac de certains spécimens fossiles ont montré qu'il se nourrissait principalement de poissons et de seiches. Les avis divergent sur sa technique de pêche. Certains fossiles ont été découverts en Angleterre, mais les mieux préservés proviennent de la carrière de calcaire de Solnhofen en Bavière. Ramphorynchus faisait partie des ptérosaures, des cousins des dinosaures, qui seraient parmi les premiers vertébrés volants.
Rhamphorhynchus apparaît dans quelques œuvres de fiction où sa taille est très exagérée, notamment :
- des films comme : "Un million d'années avant J.C." (1996) où il combat et tue un ptéranodon avant de dévorer les petits de ce dernier, et "Quand les dinosaures dominaient le monde" (1970) où il attaque l'un des protagonistes.
- des séries documentaires : "Sur la terre des dinosaures" de la BBC et "Le royaume des dinosaures".
- des romans : "Le Monde perdu" d'Arthur Conan Doyle ainsi que le Cycle de Pellucidar d'Edgar Rice Burroughs

Based on the Jurassic World set.
I spent an hour building a background for this to resemble the box scene but it looked so awful and just ended up detracting from the main objects. Hence we have the humble base above ;)
Bound by chains, loyalty and black magic, Sicaire Noir the Magnificient Wyrm has been unified with Emperor Nebucadnezar in an unholy covenant ever since the Dark Elf Resurrection.
Customization Notes:
- the dragon's body is an Indoraptor with newly painted stripes
- the head is from the the old Mutant Pteranodon, the eyes and teeth and tongue are painted
- the lower jaw is from the mutant raptor, painted and heavily modified to be connectable
- wings are regular wings, but I had to drill into the body to attach them
- the neck is built from petals and painted
- chains are painted
- dragon helmet is from a Brickwarriors shield, painted
- helmet and sword are from Nicebricks
- lance is built from Brickwarriors and official parts
- cape is from CapeMadness
coming from a folding and sight-seeing weekend in Prague I found a letter in my mailbox. Thomas Krapf kindly sent me some orgami animals because he rightly assumed that they are in the minority in my home when compared to geometric models. thank you very much, Thomas!! :-DD
I think those are a pteranodon, a dragon and a rhinoceros (with a rabbit's ears?) but I don't know the designers. I'm sure Thomas will fill in the blanks :-)
EDIT: thanks to Thomas, these are the models:
on the outside we a pteranodon and a triceratops each by Makoto Yamaguchi,
in the center we the chibi dragon by Jo Nakashima

Before anything, I'd like to apologise to everyone for my absence from the LEGO scene for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been extremely busy and it hasn't been my top priority for a little while. But, I'm back with this little revamp of the STAP (single trooper aerial platform)! I've wanted to move past using a curved slope for the speeder's "membrane" since building my first one, and I think I've found the perfect piece in the pteranodon lower jaw (No: 98087). This made the entire build difficult to work with as the short bar on the end of the piece is at an angle, meaning a lot of alignment was difficult to achieve. Nevertheless, here it is!!

無齒翼龍 (Pteranodon) 翼龍目。身長約1.8公尺，翼展長達9公尺，生存於白堊紀晚期，形如蝙蝠，前肢第四指甚長，與後肢間的皮膚變成翅膜。全身覆毛、無尾，喙長而無牙，頭後方延伸成冠，具有平衡長喙的功用。其後肢小而無力，在地面行走很笨拙，但可在空中隨風滑行，並捕食海中的魚。
現今鳥類也是從古生物演化而來的，大自然生物會因現存環境而演化真是相當神奇；而我小時候也曾夢想當考古學家，爬蟲的魅力從小時候就深植我心了。
Obviously the pteranodon from my last build lent itself to Swoop nicely so here are the Dinobots.
I'd normally wait until I had the pieces to do something with this but the gold Belville shoes are damn hard to find.
So, until I get them I've done a shoddy photoshop edit of a blue shoe for Sludge as a stand in.
I'm pretty happy with Snarl and Slag body shape. Slag is getting there and without changing the proportions and scale significantly Grimlock will have to do.
Oh, and they don't transform ;) (yet?)
So, the year is roughly '78 and I spend a few months in a barn at the end of the road building a pedal power pteranodon. This is my first flight over 113th St. down over the chimney blocks and the creek and then down Cherry Drive. Ideally, no one knows it's me, that I'm up inside the belly of the beast. It's just some innocent fun meant to hurt no one. My friend, a pug that I used to feed, is down below running after me.

One of my entries for the "Mini Building Madness" Contest on Rebrick. Surprisingly, it was another Runner-up Winner!
Taking account of the mixed architecture styles we have seen so far in the modular building series, a fresher and more unanticipated movement would be te incorporation of more modern/contemporany buildings.
