Small Sauropods

Recently got the 1:35 Europasaurus (brachiosaurid, 6m) and it is remarkably small!  While still the size of a decent elephant in real life, this guy, along with Lirainosaurus (titanosaurid, 10m), are among the smallest species available as models.  Also shown, Shunosaurus (cetiosaurid, 9-10m), Amargasaurus (dicaraeosaurid, 10m), Saltasaurus (titanosaurid, 12m) and Nigersaurus (rebbachisaurid, 9m).



What other little guys are out there? ;D


Blade-of-the-Moon

Those all look like species that would work well in 1:1 .. :)

Bokisaurus

Very nice collection of little giants  ;D Not sure what else is out there of these guys, you may already have all of the smaller species. How about collectA's Amphelosaurus, is that a smallish species?

Ampelosaurus is perhaps CollectA's finest sauropod model, the beast itself was about 15m.  Maybe I'll expand the subject to cover medium size sauros 10-20m,  Meanwhile I'm looking for my Schleich Salta and Procon Shuno to add.  I've also got an Amazonsaurus somewhere... as well as larger scale models of Amarga and Niger.

Nice lineup. Who made the Shunosaurus and what scale is it? Looks like it could be around 1/40...

Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus

Very interesting topic idea...
For myself, I like bigger sauropod models usually, but some of the small ones are great too.

Looks like of Galileo Hernandez's resin model kits.

Bokisaurus

Okay, so there are two more that would qualify for the under 50 feet sauropods that I forgot  ;D
CollectA's early Rebbachisaurus @ 33 feet


Bullyland's Spinophorosaurus @ 45 feet ( just a couple of feet bigger than Amarga)


The others in my collection


And yes, that Shunu is indeed Galileo's earlier work. I have it,too, it's a nice model.

Yes, these are by Galileo, possibly the first kits he ever offered for sale. These guys came in a herd of 6.  I was lucky enough to grab  one several years ago.  No longer available AFAIK, but you can always ask.  Here is a build-up by the one and only M. Garrat:

Scale is 1:40

radman

While the previous models were all 1:40 or 1:35, here are the big boys in 1:20 (left to right):

Amazonsaurus,   (Diplodocid, 10.5 m)
Adamantisaurus (Titanosaurid, 9.5m)
Baurutitan (Titanosaurid, 8.5 m)



I realize that some sources estimate the last two as much larger than 10m, my completely arbitrary cutoff point.  I am going by what the artist, Ademar de Nasciemento (big thanks again, to Ikesaurro and sbell for helping me acquire these), determined their sizes were, as I'm sure he put a lot more research into it than I did.  ^-^

Since I collect Amargasaurus and Saltasaurus, both should qualify, no?

I didn't know there was a separate thread for dwarf sauropods. They're quite interesting. Also thanks for the reminder about Europasaurus.

avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres You said it well! I just got my Europasaurus from Dejinkin's Dinosaurs and only after I got it I realized that I got the last one! But I found it somewhere else. Here is the link. https://www.ebay.com/i/203015491186?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=203015491186&targetid=4580771607727094&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=395665090&mkgroupid=1234751768217321&rlsatarget=pla-4580771607727094&abcId=1129776&merchantid=51291&msclkid=adda982db2f31cc0381dc6c71f65fd55

Mine's coming in the mail soon. If you want one, then get it now!
