I've been working with sculptress Beth Graves (who did Bwana's sloth n' moth) for a while now on this dude, and it is finally done and ready for lookin at...
History:
Stegoforest is from the late Jurassic period and was found in what is now known as the Pacific Northwest of North America. Stegoforest had an array of coniferous plants that grew from its back and are thought to have been used as camouflage. Stegoforest were herbivores, but it is also speculated that they gained energy through photosynthesis as well. They averaged a height of 10 meters (from foot to tree top), and a length of 9 meters. Although it bares a striking resemblance to the Stegosaurus, this creature was neither an animal or a plant, but somewhere in between making it hard for scientists to classify. The origin and veracity of Stegoforest is uncertain, as few remains are known to exist, and many have been falsified.
Theres also a mini figure to go with it that im calling the Battle Damaged Acorn Warrior.
Toy Info:
-7.5 inches long (head to tail.) 4 inches tall (foot to tree tops.)
-2 points of articulation. Front left leg and head (not pictured.)
-Battled Damaged Acorn Warrior is approx. 2.5 inches long.

Thanks guys! It should only get better. Just went to wax yesterday.
hoping to have the finished piece in hand for my birthday which is May 7th.
More excited for this than for the ability to legally drink alcohol.

Here's an update! Only a couple small tweaks before it's finished.
Making some inquiries about possibly doing this thing in vinyl. We'll see what happens with that.

Seriously amazing. Love the whole concept.
Can't beat more dino toys!
And vinyl would rule. Looks like one of the legs is already jointed.

Dino toys are definitely my favorite!
Talking has begun on the possibility of vinyl, and yeah, the front left leg is jointed already.
