Customer Reviews
This is my first model I brought from Dinosauria and it wasn't my last I keep coming back.
I brought the 1:4 scale of Archaeopteryx and the detail is amazing, from James review the 1:1 looks fantastic.
The service was great and delivery punctual and well packaged
I bought this model at full size for my sister's 30th who loved this funny dino when she was little. It's a beautiful sculpt and a great quality print. Even at full size there's great detail and the pose has so much life to it.
It was a joy to paint and I wouldn't hesitate to order from this shop again. My sister was over the moon with it and it will be displayed proudly for many years to come!
Also, the shop was great about getting the print to me quickly so I had time to paint it and giving me information about what glues to use when I asked for help. Great model, great service!
I ordered the Archaeopteryx model at full scale as a present. It's such a wonderful sculpt and print! So much detail; it was a joy to paint and give as a gift.
Fernando was really helpful in making sure I got the model on time so I could paint it, and also giving advice about glues to use when I requested help. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Dinosauria again!
This is a top-notch, very excellent Archaeopteryx model. It is very detailed and is quite impressive. I got the 1:4 version. These seem fragile, so be very careful with unpacking. I'm so glad that I got it! :)
I bought the 1/4 scale replica. The model received me a few days here in Germany. Years ago my brother and a friend developed the first "play version" of a archaeopterix for a german toy figure company. Since them I am highly interestested in the archaeopterix but never found a replica without a toy character. This replica now incorporates the latest scientific finding. The print is top quality and the details are real fine. I really would recommend this replica!
Product details
Archeopteryx (A. lithographica 'Oldwing') is an extinct species of primitive bird that lived during the Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian period, approximately 150 million years ago, in what is now Germany. It is considered a transitional fossil between dinosaurs and modern birds, and is known for both its reptilian and avian characteristics.
Archeopteryx had feathers and wings, but also possessed reptilian features such as teeth, wing claws, and a long, bony tail. It is believed that it was a bipedal animal, that is, it walked on two legs. Its size was similar to that of a modern crow, with a length of around 50 centimeters.
The Archeopteryx habitat was a humid, wooded environment, with dense vegetation composed of ferns, conifers, and cycads. It is believed that it was an animal that was active during the day, and fed mainly on insects and small animals, such as lizards and rodents.
Archeopteryx is one of the most important fossils in the history of evolution, providing direct evidence for the evolutionary transition from dinosaurs to birds. Its discovery in 1861 revolutionized our understanding of bird evolution and has been the subject of study and fascination among scientists and paleontology enthusiasts for over a century.
The Model Pose represents an Archeopteryx specimen collecting material to make its nest.
Approximate measurements of the Archeopteryx:
- Scale 1:6 - 85 x 34 x 46 mm H
- Scale 1:4 - 134 x 54 x 72 mm H
- Scale 1:2 - 260 x 105 x 140 mm Al (Replica in two pieces, body and tail)
- Scale 1:1 - 540 mm Assembly kit

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.
