The more i look at it, the more im tempted to get one.

Hounestly, i think the only proplem is the oversized Eyes, which makes it look like a female cartoon charector to me.

I also like how its a biped, and not an anoying tripod like the carnegi model

[brontodocus]

Like I said, the yellow part of the eyes - be it intended to represent sclera or lower eyelid - is an easy fix. Still the lower eyelid looks a little saggy and of course the details of the sculpt are rather crude as is typical for Bullyland.

Johan Scherft's life-sized (length approx. 605 mm) paper model "Microceratops" (actually probably better named Graciliceratops mongoliensis, Microceratops was preoccupied and Microceratus is a nomen dubium):

Nice model! Very amazing what cardboard can be capable.

[Roselaar]

Very nice Microceratops there! I hardly noticed it was made of paper from the first pic! That must have been quite hard to create.

[Seijun]

Cardboard model sadly better/more accurate than most plastic toys...

[brontodocus]

Thanks all! Assembly of the model is not as hard as it might possibly seem. But I guess designing it must have been a real hard task, the templates are constructed without the help of a computer, apparently. So for anyone who's interested - the templates are available (for €5) via Johan Scherft's website (you'll get them as digital data sent via the internet, six pages with the model part and six pages instructions, so there are no shipping costs to anywhere in the world ). I've seen sketches of him that show an Archaeopteryx. I can only hope this means he'll publish a life size Archaeopteryx model, eventually.

Wow, those cardboard models rock! At first sight I couldn´t tell which material it was, especially at the Microceratops!

[brontodocus]

Thanks, Stefan! Yes, that's exactly what good cardboard models aim at. Had I found a copyshop that made less shiny prints it would have looked even a little better but I'm still pleased with how it turned out. By the way, the fact that it's quite large makes assembly also easier, I've definitely had cardboard model kits that were much more difficult.

[postsaurischian]

   Bravissimo! A wonderful model, perfectly built up. Congratulations especially on how you solved the balance problem .
Wow! An Archaeopteryx could finally convince me to try building a paper model as well.

[brontodocus]

Hahaha! At the moment I'm tempted writing him about that you might be converted to cardboard modelling if he releases an Archaeopteryx... who knows, maybe it's a spur for him? Well, I have the feeling he plans making one, anyway. It's only logical.

And for a size comparison, some brachiosaur toys :

[Jetoar]

Amazing figure! I would like to have it  .

Amazing figure! I would like to have it  .

Thanks, Jetoar! I guess it won't be long until it will conquer virtually everyone's collection, I'm glad it hasn't been further delayed, we've been waiting long enough!

[postsaurischian]

Who said it wasn't going to be in 1:40 ?
Thanks for the comparison shot.
The old Carnegie model still holds the height record . Who would have thought so in 1988?

[Seijun]

I still think the papo looks fugly..

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I love it ! Really detailed, big and hefty just the way sauropods should be !
