Velociraptor mongoliensis

Inspiration:

As soon as I bought the excellent new Creator 3-in-1 Fox set, 31154, I knew that it would make for an excellent velociraptor, as I typically imagine velociraptors to be fairly fox-like in coloration and build.

About the Build:

I did my best to make the design accurate to current scientific understanding, but I had to make some compromises for the sake of a cohesive model, including an inaccurate number of fingers. Attempts to create hands with 3 fingers were clunky so I decided to go with the most elegant, though inaccurate, solution.

The arms and legs are posable, but it requires the stand for balance, as the thin limbs cannot support its own weight.

Built August 2024

Build Time: 2 Days
