Suggestions for new 1:20 model kit?

[fabricious]

Hey there, guys!

The title probably says it all: I am open for suggestions for the next dinosaur sculpture/model kit. What kinds of dinosaurs (and especially: in what pose) would you like to see? I still have a lot to learn about sculpting dinosaurs, so I'm curious to see what you guys might suggest.

Greetings,

I always wanted to see the more obscure ankylosaurs or Plateosaurus.  Not a dino, but a 1:20 Postosuchus would be cool as well.

[Concavenator]

A Saurophaganax,please!

[tyrantqueen]

A Yutyrannus would be cool.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

The market appears to focus almost entirely on the more well derived dinosaurs. More basal dinosaurs are usually overlooked or entirely ignored. I have often suggested dinosaurs like pegomastax, tianyulong, koreaceratops, hererrasaurus, and yes, I too would love to see a nicely done Plateosaurus.  Anything older and less derived than the commonly being churned out ceratopsians, duckbills, and so over-produced larger theropods from North America

I´d also vote for a Plateosaurus.

A good Plateosaurus in 1:20 scale would be bought by me.  I am lacking in the basal sauropodomorph department.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! It appears that we have a winner, for now, but please keep the suggestions coming! During the past days I always had a galloping ceratopsian in mind, maybe you guys have an idea of what genus/species might work well with that (I was thinking of running rhinoceros as an inspiration).

I believe I read that ceratopsians were not able to gallop... Maybe my mind tricks me though.

It seems plateosaurus has won. Thogh I like to suggest a diffrent prosauropod beside the one that a lot of companeys had made.  Masospondylus

[fabricious]

I'll have to read up on the locomotion of ceratopsians, to be honest. For now, I can only relate to ecological niches and analogies to big, modern animals (e.g. rhinos) and how they run. It would be a bit strange for a group of animals that seemed to have been regularly preyed on not to be able to run properly in order to flee from predators. But, as I just said: just speculation on my side, if you happen to have good articles on hand about that topic, please throw them my way! I have a lot to make up for when it comes to dinosaur anatomy and behavior!

I have been looking at Messospondylus, but seeing it as Plateosaurus lived in what is now middle Europe, I can kind of relate to it a bit more than to its south-African cousin. I am thinking of focusing more on european dinosaurs, since the north american and chinese ones seem to get a lot of attention lately.

How about some underrated species such as Tenontosaurus or Shantungosaurus, after all the biggest of the duckbills. Or something completely different, for example a Deinocheirus with the latest research results concerning the strange head?
