Requests for Papo 2014: Step 3 (APATOSAURUS)

[Splonkadumpocus]

Important things to remember when making an Apatosaurus.

-  It's Apatosaurus, not "Brontosaurus"!!!
-  The nostrils should be placed near the end of the snout, not between the eyes.
-  The teeth are peg-like and restricted to the front of the jaws.
-  The neck, legs, and body are very robust.
-  The neck was not particularly flexible and could not be put in an S-shaped "swan posture".
-  The front feet have only a single large "thumb claw".  The hind feet have only three claws.
-  The large vertebral spines would have formed a thick ridge, not a thin sail.
-  The tail is very long and whip-like.
-  Most of the scales should be small, interspaced with slighlty larger scales.
-  It was very long, at least 22 m (72 feet), which would be about 20 inches long in 1:40 scale (most of which is tail and neck).
-  The body is not particularly long.
-  Add lots of details like spines and a dewlap.
-  Coloration should be simple, with perhaps something a little more vibrant on the neck and tail.

This is very important since an S-shaped 'swan posture' could negatively impact the credibility and overall image of the model.

Not so fast.

I totally understand, but I'm still going to recommend that Papo use a pose that is relatively neutral, just to be safe.

I'm looking for some expert or paleontologist who can write a few pages (with many pictures) on the work done and with the addition of some scientific results. Are there any volunteers?

It happened... for the second time!!

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

And it looks like the sideshow piece and is posed like the Carnegie mount... I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, that they were both posted here.
