Product description and measurements
Ichthyostega stensioei is a species of extinct tetrapod that lived during the Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. It is known for being one of the first terrestrial vertebrates, representing an important stage in the evolution of four-legged animals from aquatic forms. The name "Ichthyostega" means "fish roof," in reference to its evolutionary transition from fish to land forms, while "stensioei" honors paleontologist Erik Stensio, who first discovered and described these fossils in Greenland in the 1930s.

Ichthyostega possessed a unique combination of anatomical characteristics that distinguished it from both aquatic fishes and later terrestrial tetrapods. Although it spent much of its life in water, it had robust legs with joints similar to those of modern tetrapods, suggesting it could support its weight and walk on dry land. However, it still retained fish-like characteristics, such as fins and a well-developed tail, indicating that it still depended on water for reproduction and respiration.

The skull of Ichthyostega was flattened and elongated, with large eye sockets indicating vision adapted to both water and land. Their jaws were equipped with sharp teeth, suggesting a carnivorous diet. In addition, it had external gills that allowed it to breathe underwater, but it also developed primitive lungs for aerial breathing.

The skeletal anatomy of Ichthyostega presents a combination of ancestral and derived characteristics. It had a segmented vertebral column with ribs, which gave it stability and flexibility on land, but still retained elements of fish bone structure, such as vertebrae with low neural spines and a pectoral girdle that allowed it to move its front fins.

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.
