Wow, great MOC:s! They remind me of an anime I saw once, called "the planet of
the dinosaurs". That was about man and dinosaur living together, but it was not
hi-tech, it was more like the Roman Empire.
Anyway, I really like the way you've used DUPLO elements together with bricks to
make those war-machines. There's just one thing I wonder: Can that triceratops
really move? He looks like he's stuck in there :-) On the other hand,
Triceratopses are very strong, perhaps that's why he's carrying the heavy
artillery?
I also have to make a comment on those *fabulous* photos! They're sharp, they
have great colours, and they're all really enjoyable to watch! What camera are
you using? A digital one? Or a normal camera? judging by the photo quality, the
camera seems expensive.

| (...) I'd love to see that! Maybe I can find it in my local video store. EricJ also mentioned there is some short animated series called Cadillac Dinosaur (or something like that) which is similar too. (...) He can move just as well as the others! (...)
