Product details
Australovenator wintonensis is a megaraptorid theropod that lived during the middle Cretaceous Period, approximately 100–95 million years ago, in what is now Australia. Discovered in 2006 near Winton, Queensland, this dinosaur has become a symbol of Australian palaeontology due to its importance in understanding the Cretaceous fauna of Gondwana. Nicknamed "the Cretaceous cheetah", Australovenator was an agile and efficient predator, known for its lightweight, speed-adapted anatomy.
Australovenator measured around 6–7 metres (20–23 ft) in length and weighed approximately 500–700 kilograms (1,100–1,600 lb ), placing it among the medium-sized predators. Its body plan suggests it was a fast runner, with long, slender hind legs adapted for agile movement. Its diet likely consisted of small herbivorous dinosaurs, such as juvenile sauropods, as well as other smaller animals. It was an active predator that relied on its speed and manoeuvrability to hunt.
As for its skeleton, the recovered fossils include elements of the skull, forelimbs and hindlimbs, and parts of the vertebral column. This dinosaur displays several distinctive features that place it within the megaraptorids, a group of theropods that present adaptations of both traditional theropods and some maniraptorans. Its forelimbs were long and muscular, with large hands equipped with curved, sharp claws, being one of the most notable of its kind. These claws were probably used to catch and hold its prey, reflecting a specialized hunting behavior.
The Australovenator skull, though fragmentary, suggests that it was elongated and light, with serrated teeth adapted for tearing flesh. Its neck was flexible, which would have increased its ability to strike with precision. The pelvis and hind limbs were compact and strong, providing the necessary support for its speed-based lifestyle. Its long, slender tail acted as a counterweight during movement, improving its balance while running.
Recent studies of the skeleton of Australovenator have revealed biomechanical adaptations that indicate it was an efficient runner. The proportions of its bones suggest that it combined strength and agility, allowing it to pursue prey in open terrain. Evidence of relatively rapid growth during its life has also been identified, indicating that it reached maturity in a shorter time compared to other theropods of similar size.

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.
