2 Nazi 1: Die crew has captured and secured enough dinosaurs for die Führer's plans. We can leave for Berlin at your command!
3 Haken: You mean to tell me you were here catching dinosaurs die whole time?
4 Nazi 1: Ja, of course. Did you think we were here to sit around in die zeppelin while you did it, Herr Kolonel?

It's a bit hard to see, but the dinosaur in the cage being lifted into the zeppelin (floating above the scene) is a Tyrannosaurus, the one behind Erwin is a Triceratops, the one in the other cage is a Stegosaurus, and there's a Pteranodon (which isn't technically a dinosaur) chained on to the ground.
Sometimes, like in today's strip, there's just a lot of detail that is lost when I shrink the pictures down to fit in the strip. In all, they're shrunk to 8% of the original size that comes out of my camera. To give you an idea of the details visible in the full image, here's panel 3, shrunk to only a quarter of its original size.
You can also see how merciless the depth of field is shooting this close to a subject - thankfully that's masked a lot when I shrink the images further.
I'd forgotten just how awesome it is to make scenes like this using LEGO figures and dinosaurs.
That large image also shows the problem with shooting with a limited number of baseplates and replacing the background with a sky colour. It sort of implies they're on the edge of a cliff. Although given they're on a tepui in Venezuela, that's actually not a bad assumption.
