BRONTO SIGHTING IN CONNECTICUT!

Woodsy,

Here is my stab at the Glencoe Brontosaurus skeleton, originally an ITC/Ringo kit from the mid-60s. 

I decided not to paint the bones, as they were molded in a lovely ivory, but tried to have some fun with the base. Bone pieces fit well with just a little whittling. 

50 parts exactly. This beast is over 20” long!

    Wow, that one really is a monster. It must have been hard to photograph something that big.

    1. Indeed! Whittling and assembling those twelve neck vertebrae was quite a process! SFZ

  4. Beautiful Rob. Takes me right back to the ...... Jurassic! Ha ha. I meant the Sixties when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Great stuff. How do you follow a Brontosaurus?
