Since I will probably not be making the journey to Nottingham, England, any time soon to see Bob Nicholls' life-sized Liopleurodon bust in person, I decided to recreate it in 1/24th scale here at home. Here are pictures of my just finished bust.











Here is my 1/24 scale bust beside Bob's 1/1:



Here it is with his plan that I found online in 2017:



And here is how I did it:



Now. What do I do next?

The main difference I see is that yours has not got a tongue, or does it just not show in the photos? Otherwise it is really close.

Wow, that's brilliant. We moved this model the other day into position in a new gallery opening soon!

Great work. I like the vibrant paint job a lot :)

It does have a tongue. But it isn't raised as the museum bust has it. I thought about cutting out the toy's tongue and resulpting it but decided against it.
