Carnotaurus sastrei is a charismatic and iconic albelisaur from Patagonia. Carnotaurus has several unusual features which lead to it being instantly recognisable: its namesake horns above its eyes, its blunt bulldog like face, its almost comically short arms (it didn’t even have elbows!) and, perhaps most intriguing of all, its skin texture.
Despite only one carnotaurus skeleton being discovered, the skeleton was in such good shape, even skin impressions left by the living animal were found. Because of this, carnotaurus takes on an almost magical quality - it is so unique and we are so close, and yet so far from knowing exactly what it looked like.
Our carnotaurus, expertly sculpted by Dave at Nova Studios, is just as weird and wonderful as the real thing, if perhaps a little smaller. It is so well-proportioned we actually discovered when building it up it will actually stand and balance on its own two feet (though we don’t recommend this for display).
This model’s dimensions are an impressive 60cm long and 35cm high.
Our basic product offering comes in two forms:
A raw, unpainted model kit printed in resin at a 16k resolution. If you select this form, you will receive a ready to articulate, but unfinished assembly. It will come un-primed and will require painting/weathering. Each kit will come with a set of basic instructions and material recommendations. This option does not include a base but will include support rods.
A finished model which has been painted, weathered and varnished (to protect paint job). It will be shipped unarticulated, however basic assembly instructions will be included. Time required for assembly: Appox 10-15 minutes.
For the base on a finished model, we favour utilising reclaimed wood for our bases. If you select this option you will be presented with a selection of options based on what is available.
If you choose the finished option, Joe will be in contact during the course of his building the replica for your enjoyment and to ensure it arrives looking just how you would like it to.
