Product description and measurements
Genyornis newtoni is an extinct species of flightless bird that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene, approximately 2.5 million to 30,000 years ago. This member of the Dromornithidae family, commonly known as thunderbirds, was one of the largest and heaviest of its group, with a height reaching 2 meters and an estimated weight of up to 240 kilograms.

Genyornis newtoni was characterized by its robust constitution. It had strong and powerful legs, adapted more for running than for flight. Their wings were small and vestigial, incapable of sustaining flight, reflecting their evolution towards a terrestrial life. Its head was large and it had a wide and strong beak, similar to that of some current birds, but much more robust. This beak allowed it to feed on a varied diet that probably included hard plants, fruits and possibly small animals.

The habitat of Genyornis newtoni comprised a variety of Australian environments, from open woodland to semi-arid areas. Fossil evidence suggests that these birds were gregarious, living in groups that provided them with advantages in foraging and protection from predators.

The fossil remains of Genyornis newtoni, including bones and eggs, have provided valuable insight into its biology and ecology. Burned egg shells have been found at some sites, suggesting the possibility that early humans in Australia hunted these birds and collected their eggs, contributing to their eventual extinction. This interaction with humans is an important area of ​​study, providing insight into the hunting habits of Australia's early inhabitants and the human impact on the continent's megafauna.

Genyornis newtoni is a fascinating example of Pleistocene Australian megafauna, notable for both its size and its adaptation to a terrestrial lifestyle. Its disappearance, along with that of many other megafauna species, marks a significant period of ecological and environmental change in Australian history.

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.
