Would you rather have:

figure that can stand without base at expense of accurate proportions like feet size or accurate positions (standing in tripod pose instead of horizontal, bent tails, etc for balance)
7 (24.1%)
Proportions as accurate as possible at the expense of figure being able to stand without base.  Might include a support rod or pegged bases
22 (75.9%)

I've always thinked that if the real animal can stand by its own with much more weight, then the models we made are wrong (May be in posture, may be in the way we flesh them).

I think the real animal or even a human being could not keep standing by its own without the support of its muscular strength

Don't forget density as well.
Not 1 animal has uniform density throughout its body, not even worms.
With big empty organs like lungs on the front half and high density muscles on the tail, Theropods may seem front heavy but are actually pretty well balanced.
