Smaller dinosaurs around 1/35 scale

Are there any good (quality, accurate) models of smaller dinosaurs around 1/35 scale?   Dromaeosaurs for example.  Apologies if this has already been discussed, feel free to point me to older threads thanks!


Pachyrhinosaurus

I'm not sure of the exact scale, but the Safari feathered dinosaurs toob Velociraptor feels close. Maybe some of the others in that set as well.

Wild Past has a 3D printed Velociraptor in that scale on their shapeways I think? They also have Protoceratops and Tethyshadros in that scale.

Wild Past's own site has a message at the top of some pages (like this one) saying "the 3D printing shop has to close again for health reasons", but like you said their shapeways page is still available here, they have a pair of mating Velociraptors and a face-off between a Psittacosaurus and a large Cretaceous mammal that are at 1:35 scale. For their non-3D printed 1:35 models, Dan's Dinosaurs has Wild Past's Protoceratops and their Tethyshadros.

The Hypsilophodon family, Dilophosaurus, and Kentrosaurus from CollectA all seem to work at 1:35 scale. The Kaiyodo Furuta Pachycephalosaurus has a tail that's proportionally too short so its overall length is too small, but the rest of the body is about right for 1:35 scale, going by the size chart here. And although the Kaiyodo Utahraptor and Ornithomimus shown here don't work at 1:35 scale if you go with those names, you could treat the Utahraptor as an Achillobator and the Ornithomimus as a Struthiomimus sedens, then they'd both be about right for 1:35 aside from the fact that once again the tails are proportionally a bit too short. And the Kaiyodo Oviraptor could maybe double as Anzu wyliei at 1:35, or maybe the "Big Mama" Citipati.

Thanks D @dinofelid for the tip about Kentrosaurus and the hypsilophodon family.

The Kentrosaurus will do nicely as an addition to my Tendaguru fauna together with W-dragon's Giraffatitan and the Dicraeosaurus.

The Collecta Struthiomimus, Megalosaurus, Einiosaurus, and Regaliceratops are all at about that scale too, as is the newer Safari Dilophosaurus.
I always get Toob sets when they contain creatures that could work for my 1/35-1/40 collection. I too recommend all the non-standard prehistoric ones you can get your hands on. The basic Safari Dinosaurs and Carnivorous Dinosaurs Toobs aren't really worth it, but the Feathered Dinosaurs, Prehistoric Crocodilians, and Prehistoric Sharks are absolutely worth it, though the latter two are discontinued and may be hard to find.
Some of the Collecta equivalents of Toobs have models that work in that scale, too. The Mini Dinosaurs Set 3 has Oviraptor and Guidraco at about the right size, and the Mini Prehistoric Marine Animals and the Mini Mammals set both have some species of the right size as well.

The CollectA Struthiomimus is probably too large to work as that genus at 1:35, though it could work as a Gallimimus. Its head is about 7 cm high (2.45 m at 1:35), and about 5 cm (1.75 m) at the top of the hips, so larger than the largest Struthiomimus shown in this scale diagram, but about right for the Gallimimus in this one.

The CollectA Dilophosaurus is also about the right size, and it's more accurate than the Safari one in the way the crests appear to extend from side of the snout rather than the top, I learned about this issue in some posts on the Favorite co. thread here and here.

Oh really? I thought Gallimimus was slightly larger. Huh, well, now I now.

Most people know Gallimimus only from Jurassic Park. But it was actually quite a large animal. Much larger and stockier than it's North-American cousins.
Struthiomimus was very similar in size and shape to it's modern namesake, just with a long tail and claws.

But a nice high-end model of a Ornithomimosaur would be very welcome. These animals are very much overlooked, probably because they aren't interesting enough. Not that big (except for Gallimimus), no huge heads, big teeth, frills, plates, horns or anything.

Here's a list of 1:30 - 1:40 smaller figures in my collection. Some are Yowie, which probably isn't going to meet your accuracy needs, but I included them just in case. "Life" means the Life game pieces by Oammararak. The scales are my point estimates, but you can assume error bars on either side of various sizes. The PNSO ones are from their "Little Dinosaurs" series and Safari figures are Toob figures.
