|
Description This is a 1/35 Plastic Brachiosaurus Diorama Set from Tamiya. It's designed for modelers ages 10 and over.
Facts Paleontologists have recovered fossils of the Brachiosaurus that lived in large herds during the late theorized Jurassic period. It is now believed that this was a terrestrial dinosaur with a behavior pattern similar to modern elephants. Their tremendous weight bearing hind legs probably allowed the Brachiosaurus to rear up and feed on leaves of tall trees. Their enourmous appetite may have forced them to travel long distances to seek fresh plant life for food. It is believed that their walking speed was about the same as today's modern man. The reason for the extinction of these peaceful giants is still shrouded in mystery.
Features Plastic parts molded in tan, gray and brown.
Thorough research for a highly accurate model, including the scale, pose, and lifelike skin appearance of the dinosaur. Includes a large Brachiosaurus and an infant, much smaller. Archaeopteryx bird included with kit. Brown diorama base has a fairly rocky, realistic surface, a small dry river bed that holds the two dinosaurs and the bird. Left fore leg of the giant dinosaur can be in a lifted or grounded position. Lower jaw can be set in an open or closed position. Also includes a human figure for a represented size comparison. Included nameplate reads "Brachiosaurus Late Jurassic, Early Cretacious East Africa, North America." Informative and pictorial instruction sheet includes a description of various body parts of large dinosaur and the Archaeopteryx, plus intricate painting tips. Includes One 1/35 Brachiosaurus Diorama Set
