Discokeryx 1:35

Eine tolle Dioramaszene dieser eher unbekannten Giraffenart. Habe mit Wunschbemalung bestellt und bin mit dem Ergebnis mehr als zufrieden.

Product details

Product description and measurements
Discokeryx is an extinct genus of artiodactyls, a relative of modern-day giraffes and okapis. He lived during the early Miocene. Its fossil remains have been found in the Halamagai Formation of northern China.

Discokeryx had a thick-boned skull, topped by a disc-shaped headdress, cervical vertebrae with thickened centers, and the most complicated head and neck joints of any known mammal at the time of its discovery. They are adaptations for head-butting fights between males, similar to those of modern rams, and for neck-butting in modern male giraffes. Discokeryx's neck adaptations help scientists better understand giraffe neck evolution.

Compared to modern animals that fight with headbutts, D. xiezhi had the most optimized head for this goal, with a skull that protected the brain more efficiently than other mammals. Tooth enamel isotopes indicate that the species was a grassland herbivore that drank from various water sources, its habitats included areas to which its contemporaries were not adapted.

Information about aftershocks

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.

Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.

All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.

Information about the models

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
