Product description and measurements
Sula nebouxii, commonly known as the blue-footed booby, is a species of seabird that inhabits the Pacific coasts, from the Galapagos Islands to the coasts of Central America and part of Mexico. This bird is famous for its distinctive bright blue legs, which play a crucial role in its courtship behavior. Males display their blue legs to females through a ritual dance, raising their legs alternately in an attempt to attract a mate. The blue hue of the legs, more vibrant the healthier the individual is, is an indicator of their physical condition and reproductive capacity.

The blue-footed booby measures approximately 81 cm in length and has a wingspan of up to 1.5 meters. Its plumage is mostly white, with dark brown or black wings and tail, and a robust light gray beak. These birds are excellent divers, diving into the water from considerable heights to catch fish, which constitute their main source of food. They use their keen vision to spot prey from the air, and their streamlined bodies allow them to dive with precision.

Sula nebouxii form colonies in rocky coastal areas and on islands. Although they are not particularly agile on land due to their webbed feet, they are expert fliers and swimmers. In terms of reproduction, they typically lay one to three eggs, which are incubated by both parents. Interestingly, blue-footed boobies practice biparental care, with both parents sharing incubation and feeding duties for the chicks.

Recent studies have shown that the color of the blue legs is related to the bird's immune health, as the vibrant hue depends on the diet rich in carotenoids. This trait is not only important for courtship, but also reflects the overall health of the individual, increasing its chances of reproductive success.

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.
