Platecarpus 1:35

Ein sehr schönes Modell dieser kleinen Mosasaurierart. Als Modell sehr selten repräsentiert und daher froh die Art hier gefunden zu haben. Due Bemalu g ist nach Wunsch erstklassig ausgeführt worden und bisher die beste Auftragsarbeit, die ich hier in Auftrag gegeben habe.

Product details

Product description and measurements

Platecarpus is a genus of marine reptile belonging to the mosasaurid family, which lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 85-80 million years ago.

Platecarpus was a medium-sized marine reptile, with a length ranging from 4 to 6 meters. It had a thin and elongated body, adapted for aquatic life. Its head was small in relation to its body and was equipped with sharp, conical teeth that enabled it to catch and feed on marine prey.

One of the most distinctive features of Platecarpus was its modified flipper-like limbs, which gave it excellent swimming ability. These limbs had been transformed into stout flippers with long, flat bones. In addition, it had a long, flexible tail that helped it propel itself through the water.

Platecarpus skin was covered in scales, similar to modern reptiles, providing protection from predators and facilitating fluid movement in the water.Some fossils have also preserved skin impressions, allowing scientists to get an idea of their external appearance.

Platecarpus fed mainly on fish and other marine animals, using its sharp teeth to grab fast and elusive prey. It is believed to have been an agile predator and fast swimmer, capable of pursuing and capturing its prey in the ocean.

Platecarpus fossils have been found primarily in North America, particularly the Midwest. These discoveries have provided valuable information on the diversity and ecology of marine reptiles during the Late Cretaceous. Although some details of its anatomy and behavior are known, much remains to be learned about Platecarpus and its role in prehistoric marine ecosystems.

Approximate measurements of the Platecarpus:

  • 1:35 scale - 130 mm long
  • 1:20 scale - 230 mm long
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.
