Hanseatic Retro Dinosaurs from Hagenbeck / Hamburg

[postsaurischian]

These "life-sized" sculpts are from the Hamburg zoo Hagenbeck. I didn't manage to take pictures of all sculpts that are shown there.
So if someone has more pics, feel free to post them here. I was in Hamburg for the first time around 1976 - 1978 and all I was
remembering is that enormous Brontosaurus (how glad I am to be officially allowed to use that name again ) and my goal this time
was to take a pic of me next to that giant creature. Unfortunately (as you can see in the pic below) it's a Capybara enclosure now
and you're not allowed to set foot on it . That was a bit frustrating and maybe the reason why I wasn't motivated enough
to take pictures of the whole set of sculpts. A mistake I should compensate for with my next visit.



  Brontosaurus


  Ichthyosaurus

  Triceratops

I have never seen a swimming/wallowing Triceratops before!  Perhaps he is too scared to come out of the water and face the rather aggressive Trike on the bank.

That Brontosaurus looks like it's really hoping you can't see it.

These sculptures actually look like they were sculpted! Muscle definition is amazing! Once in a while, its nice to look back at see how things use to be interpreted. Nice photos, thanks for sharing!

I love the Triceratops "beach day " scene,  I saw it in a book ages ago, very creative.

Oh my...

You may have ssen the pictures I posted from the Berlin Zoo few weeks ago, those sculpt remind me of those. That puny Ceratosaurus nibbling on the gigantic Stegosaurus is hilarious.

Thanks for sharing, Helge.

  Thank you for the comments!

You really made me laugh. First I was a bit disappointed because of the shadowing. Now I think it's a great scene.

Maybe one of the moderators has the time and wants to merge them.
