I need a Struthiomimus skeletal I have a side view version..but I need a forward facing one and especially an overhead shot. I really need to see how wide the hips are. Some restorations look really wide others much more narrow.

Thanks in advance for any help !

I can't find an overhead shot, but how about shot of its butt? ;D

Hope this helps!

Hmm..from that image they look kind of narrow..though fleshed out they could be wider.

Darn it, we really need more accurate ornithmimid replicas. All I have to go by is the CollectA Deinocheirus, a Jasman Gallimimus and my Definitely Dinos Struthio...not exactly helpful. :/

Well the dinosaur is an ostrich mimic right? Perhaps that might give some added help...perhaps the body shape and structure were similar.

maybe...I'll have a look and see. I still like to reference the skeleton itself if at all possible though. ;D

Unfortunately not really.  The struthio has a much longer torso than an ostrich does.  (and ... you know arms and a tail)

I think the hips were more on the narrow side from what i remember about the mount at the AMNH but like you said they probably had lots of muscle there.  Did you try looking up illustrations from credible artists?

Yeah I did..but no one did them from the angle I was after. I've used what I had so hopefully it will look alright in the end. Maybe with all the feathers it will just look more " fluffy "  ;)

How about these:



Here's an Ornithomimus (close cousin, maybe even same genus).  Rather large stomach region.


And a Gallimimus:

That first one is the most helpful..but the muscles on the thighs look really thin to me..I would expect them to be beefed up quite a bit more.

The tails keep throwing me as well..so thick at the base and then they taper and get thin so quick..lol
