Here it is featured in a video by Jurassic Collectables...

Interesting....
According to Paul, he's the one who painted the stego. Here's his quote from the stego thread:
" I'll have Heather pose with the Stego when I'm back in TX next week.
Thanks for the compliments, I painted the Stego and I sculpted the oval base and base top. I wanted something clean and not overpowering. I went with a dry riverbed look and it has his footprints in the sand. Stego will be shipped separate from the base so you can display him on his own if you want. I really want a more museum quality look for our bases in the future. Conan was the first piece I strayed from our normal designed bases and people like it.
Again I'm trying to pay homage to Stan Winston Studios and do it with class, this is art guys...
I did paint her to match the Lost World Stego, the actual Winston maquettes were quite different.
Anyway, glad you guys like it and the more we produce the better our prices will get...."
So, anymore to the story that you would like to elaborate on...[/QUOTE]
When CC released the promo pics for their Stego, I couldn't help noticing that the only obvious difference with theirs and the one I had painted and sent to them were the darker coloured plates. I had painted mine specifically in a way that attempted to incorporate all 3 versions of the LW Stego - the maquette, the animatronic and the CGI render. I messaged CC and asked if they had used my paint job since it looked so similar and Paul said 'we loved your paint job so much, we used it as reference'. Which is fine by me, but a mention wouldn't have gone a miss!
