About Shane Foulkes’ Chasmosaurus

[Lythronax]

I would like to ask you a question about this model kit. I have found that Chasmosaurus had a length of 4-5 meters. According to Dan's Dinosaur web, this model 1:15 measures 18.5 inches. If the model is 1:15, this Chasmosaurus would measure 7 meters. So, either living Chasmosaurus was longer than 5 meters, or the model is shorter than 18.5 inches, or the scale is wrong.

Could some of you tell me which of these is wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Well I think I can answer you! the model is 1/15th scale (no the scale is not wrong) but the size listed is. ITs 16.0" long not 18.5 . IT represents the largest size claimed for Chasmosaur based on the largest skull specimen found. the skull was 7' long and the body was inches shy of 20 feet. most mounts are between 15 and 17.5 feet long however. ok.

Thanks guys, I've updated the page to 16" now. Feel free to e-mail me if you spot anything else that needs to be updated.

Hi guys,
thanks a lot.

I thought that 1:15 was correct, but I was not sure about the 5 meters (my source was Wikipedia!, not good).

It's important to get the scale rigdht when you want to make a diorama.
