Here is an updated look at my #Studio designed #Lego themed #natural #history book. Each #baseplate is a different scale, showing mostly extinct animals (theres some extant ones on the right side of the pink baseplate)
The person on the baseplates represents a person about 6 foot tall.
Im still working on more designs.

@TheDinosaurDave that is so cool! How do you even begin to design the dinosaurs? Is it experimentation? Or something more methodical?

@jamesrandall there is a store in Brisbane Queensland i used to go to before i moved called BrickResales. Basically they have a huge number of tubs full of loose lego. So i would just free build there. Try out shapes and designs and then after i prototyped a design i would make it digitally and then refine it and make a v2 prototype to make sure its stable. And then if thats good then i consider it finalised unless i have other ideas.

@TheDinosaurDave they are very cool - I’m going to be dreaming of a large Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus now I suspect!

@jamesrandall you can find those on rebrickable, esp if you have the giraffe 3 in 1 set, because theres a rebuild of that one :D

@TheDinosaurDave i love the grounded pterosaurs. real nice :)

@TheDinosaurDave@sauropods.win avatar

@gay_ornithischians thanks, theyre designed to be either grounded or flying. You even need to flip the wings to make them pose properly when landed (to represent the hands pointing backwards) The only one that cant flip its wings to land is the smallest one

@TheDinosaurDave so the ones shown in flying mode are the same design?

@gay_ornithischians yep. part of this project it to be as scientifically accurate as i could. Some are not perfect, but some im really pleased with.
