It’s Springtime at the Park! The Wisteria is in bloom. In addition, the rains this year have provided lots of green. Warmer weather is the perfect time to start planting flowers and vegetables. Which means lots of yard work! Marc the Triceratops & Stephanie the Stegosaurus have been trimming (or eating) the brush to help…
What’s Up with the Bunny?
Why do the Bunnies get all the hype? As I mentioned in my previous post, there are lots of Eastersaurs and I’m sure other animals that Share Friendship and Goodwill! So how did the Rabbit get Top Billing? Sure, they’re cute but I think there are two reasons they are so popular at Easter. First,…
Is there an Eastersaurus in Your Neighborhood?
We have all heard of the Easter Bunny. Did you know there were Easter Dinosaurs? Really! The EasTer Rex, the EasteRapator, EasTerceratops and many other Eastersaurs. For some reason the Bunny is the only Easter animal people seem to remember. Hmmmm. I wonder why? Millions of years ago a group of Dinosaurs met to improve…
Spike’s Final Touch Ups & Dinosaur Eggs!
We left Spencer aka “Spike” with ideas to add more color to his Sail. Cobalt Metallic was added to one side of the sail ribs and some spots. Still not loving it I tried the Hammered Light Blue to a couple of ribs and spots. In the end we decided less is more and refinished…

More about the Spinosaurus & Spike!
In 1910 a German Aristocrat, Ernest Stromer headed to North Africa in search of Dinosaurs. He and his assistants discovered a large sample of fossils, many were new dinosaur species. One of these was the gargantuan Dinosaur – Spinosaurus! Crocodile like skull and what appeared to be a sail along its back. Unfortunately, these fossils…
“Spike” the Spinosaurus
Spinosaurus the Largest Carnivore? I did some research on Wikipedia. There are a number of more recent studies that suggest calculations of Spinosaurus size were over estimates. There are only fragmentary remains of this Dinosaur. As more discoveries are made the gaps that have been estimated are revised. Current belief based on 2018 studies is…
Another Great “Family Story Time”!
The City of Camarillo Library provided the venue for other Wonderful Dinosaur Fun Facts & Fiction Event. This was Max’s first time at “Family Story Time”. Parents & Kids learned about the PaulsPrehistoricPark.com and the actual Park. I read the newest version of “Is a Metal Dinosaur the Right Pet for You? I expanded it…
Finishing the Raptors & More Fun Facts
Now it’s time for the final color additions to these Raptors before clear coating. The Mouth and Claws were masked around using blue tape and left-over plastic bags (always repurpose & recycle). I start with an edging of blue tape to outline the details I wish to paint. Then using more tape to attach the…
Raptors, Feathers & Color
We left off with these Raptors in a beautiful Gold & Grey-Green color after rinsing the Acid Wash and allowing time to completely dry. As I mentioned last week, I like this look and will incorporate it as a final finish for the body color with a couple of future Raptors to join the Park. …
