Mahnmut Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hello again. After a great holiday full of colourful dinosaurs (avian ones) I am back home and playing with 3d- models. Pteranodon skull is a print of P360 s model on sketchfab. yellow parts are rebuild in epoxy putty, brown ones are from a geoworld model. Tapejara skull is 3dprinted from Igor Novis´ 3d model on thingiverse, Nyctosaurus, Dsungarypterus and Anhanguera are 3d-modeld by me, using mostly drawings by Mark Witton as reference. What do you think? Aloha J What do you think? 8 Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks to all of you! Yes, I intend to paint them, I just didn´t decide yet if I paint them fossil-like or rather like fresh bone. Here comes the next step. that one, other than the Pteranodon, I can claim to be my very own. Skull digitally, postcranial manually modeled. Scale is about 1/10.

Mahnmut Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks! Painted it, although in the fotograph I see that I missed some spots. The inside of the skull should be darker. Unbelievably,, this is not a montage, as many of my postings are, just a pic taken with flashlight against a bright window.

Mahnmut Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks Ynot! nearly ready with the ornithocheirid. I am pondering how o build the Nyctosaurus. I think a flying pose would be adequate, because they are supposed to be highly adapted flyers like Albatrosses that rarely touch ground. On the other hand I find Pterosaur skeletons with spread wings somehow underwhelming because of their highly reduced structure, that being especially true for Nyctosaurus, who even lost its fingers except the wingfinger. Still, with its crest it will be like some kind of abstract sculpture. Aloha.

Mahnmut Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks better than expected, although for now it got an old lightbulb for a torso. The ribs will be unconveniently small on this one.

Mahnmut Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Fascinating to think that those two may have met in life. Hesperornis and Nyctosaurus. A flying "Lizard" and a diving Bird.

Mahnmut Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Another couple in space and time. Tapejara skull as mentioned apove by Igor Novis on thingiverse, everything else my own. 6 Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello again. I hope I don´t overdo it, but building these is really fun. Last pterosaur for now (I think). Back to marine tetrapods after that. An Azdarchid. Skull is from Geolab via sketchfab, Phosphatodraco. Skeleton is based on the same model, although I built it to scale as one of the really big guys. Maybe it is a fantasy generic Azdharchid. Looks definitely like fantasy. Still missing some details like feet, a shoulder girdle and claws.

KCMOfossil Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks for the details about sources for the models. My son has a 3D printer and is beginning to make interesting items for his nieces and nephews. Maybe I can get him to make an avian dinosaur for me for my birthday this month.

Mahnmut Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks Bobby and Randy! Russ, what kind of avian dinosaur do you have in mind? I try to keep track of my sources, just in case some day my models see the public. Here is a non-avian-non dinosaur for you. It still looks outlandish to me, but I checked, the proportions seem to be more or less right. Don´t know if it could have held this pose though. On the other hand, the skull was highly pneumatized while the body was heavily muscled. So maybe it isn´t as off ballance as it looks.

ynot Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 You just keep getting better and better at this. Wonderful pterosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks Ynot! Not a Pterosaur, but a flying Theropod: Pleistocene Pseudotooth Bird Pelagornis. I built the skull using scans from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile via scan th eworld, Body was morphed from different free bird scans, Wings are handmade. Not so easy to get a nice perspective on this skinny skeleton.

Sierraman Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Very good reconstructions, would it be possible toprovide me with the stl file of Anhanguera to make a private specimen for myself for educational purposes, your help will be appreciated.

Mahnmut Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi Sierraman, you can have the file, but it will need some time because my laptop broke last week. I will look for the file though. The Detail is fine for a small scale print, maybe not good enough for bigger ones.

spinoking27 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 some of these like pelagornis should be on thingiverse as a suggestion btw i would love to make a skeleton of this flyer someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks Spinoking27. For the Pelagornis I used Museum scans that are free for private and educational use, but I do not think I have the right to redistribute them (changed or not). My newest marine reptiles are something different, I build those completely so I will have to think about those. Maybe i can also make my own Pelagornis some day with what I learn now. But there are some seacritters on the list first.
