Well, sort of.
I found a Tamiya Triceratops at Longs and since the shrink wrap had been removed (although everything inside was still in the plastic bag), they let me have it for $3.99. Unfortunately, it turned out that the kit depicts the tail dragging on the ground, which it shouldn't. No biggie. Cutting off and repositioning the tail didn't take very long (thanks to Milliput and my Dremel tool), so now I've got a dino all primed and ready to paint.
Only, then I had the bright idea to build a diorama with two of the beasties, so I went out and bought the Tamiya Triceratops diorama set. Hmmm. The dino in this kit is covered with scales. Do I have to scribe scales all over the body of the other one as well? That would be a daunting task. Fortunately, a little interenet research solved my problem. Existing examples of dinosaur scales (which can be counted on one hand, BTW) are much smaller than what is depicted in the kit. Too small to be visible in 1/35 scale, in fact, so a little work with the Dremel should make the two dinos match again. Whew!
Plus, I now have a base which isn't right for this diorama, but might be useful for some other project, four fish, a frog, and two "Velociraptors" which are easily twice the size they should be, but which are nearly passable as Deinonychus except that their noses are too long (perhaps they represent an undiscovered subspecies), and they probably should have feathers. I haven't figured out how I want to represent the feathers yet, so I'll put them aside for another day (I wouldn't have wanted them in a diorama with two Triceratops anyway).
Okay, so I'm not exactly shaking the box and watching a completed model drop out, but I'm not getting bogged down replicating every last tiny detail either. Heck, I can just make a lot of it up (like the color scheme) and nobody can prove I got it wrong.
