Product details
About 75 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous , in what is now New Mexico (USA), lived a large ceratopsid known as Pentaceratops sternbergii . This herbivorous dinosaur belonged to the subfamily Chasmosaurinae, a close relative of Triceratops , although with its own features that make it unmistakable.
Its body measured between 6 and 7 meters in length and weighed around 5 tons . It was a robust quadruped, with strong limbs adapted to support the weight of its bulky trunk. Its most striking feature was its head: it had a skull over 2.5 meters long , considered one of the largest of all known terrestrial animals.
The face was armed with three main horns —one nasal and two above the eyes—although its name, Pentaceratops , refers to “five horns.” This is because beneath the orbital horns there were also two additional, smaller bony protrusions, giving it its “five-pointed” appearance. However, the most distinctive feature was the immense bony frill (or ruff), which projected backward from the skull. In Pentaceratops , this frill was elongated and had broad edges, possibly adorned with fenestrae (openings) and horny scales.
The function of these structures is still a matter of debate: some paleontologists think they served as visual defense against predators such as Tyrannosaurus , while others suggest they had a more important role in social communication, sexual display and recognition between individuals .
In terms of its diet, Pentaceratops was a specialized herbivore. With its horny, parrot-like beak and rows of battery-shaped teeth, it could cut and crush tough vegetation such as cycad leaves, ferns, and low conifer branches.
The environment in which it lived was part of the region known as Laramidia , a continental stretch west of the Western Interior Sea, where other ceratopsians, hadrosaurs, and ankylosaurs, as well as large predators, were abundant. In this ecosystem, Pentaceratops would have played a central role as a consumer of large plants and, at the same time, as potential prey for large theropods.

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.
