It's official, there are 2 new additions to the collection!

Spinosaurus has stomped its way into the museum, along with a life size reconstruction of the largest insect to ever exist!

Next up will be a Rubidgea atrox which is currently in the works. 🦴

A happy belated Women's day to all the women who are in our lives!

To celebrate I want to give a quick explanation of the main girl at the display, Cassandra the Megarachne!

Fun fact: Cassandra was added on Womens day 2025!

Did you know the name Cassandra means "she who entangles men", I decided to name her this as after female spiders are done mating they always eat the male, not to mention they are also bigger! 🕷️🕸️

Even though she's a natural huntress from the Carboniferous period of Argentina, she's been referred to as being my daughter by some of the children that visited the museum. 😂

Cassandra is an absolute staple of the museum, and soon she will be getting a flying neighbor. 🐝

What on earth could this be?

The worlds largest insect might be put on display sooner that we thought....

Look at those mandibles!

Notice another animals leg is poking out behind, hopefully he will be complete in a month's time.

Also update on the spinosaurus:

Only thing left to do on it is a few minor touch ups and completing it's base.

Super excited for this new cast of beasties to join the display, and with more planned to come!

Here's a little blurry teaser of the WIP Spinosaurus aegyptiacus model next to the Carcharodontosaurus, it should hopefully not take long to complete him.

The main ones that im working on when it comes to building is a Rubidgea atrox and a life size model of the worlds largest insect to ever exist!

Just a heads up that the display will be closed tomorrow (19th of July) as I'll be celebrating a very special somones birthday.

(Btw it's not my birthday) 🎁

I am happy to announce that the next mini skull replica to be put on display will be that of a Rubidgea atrox, this gorgonopsian was roughly the size of a modern day lion!

It is also worth noting that this guy will still be getting a model, however the spinosaurus needs it's paint job first, and another life size contender has entered the work in progress roster of this year. 👀

There will be another life size Carboniferous giant that will make it's way to the display in a couple of months.

The one in the picture is the current only inhabitant from the Carboniferous who will soon share its home with another apex, however this apex dominated the ancient skies!

Just a quick mention to let everyone know that the display will be closed on the 30th of next week, here's also a little preview of the unfinished colour scheme of the Spinosaurus, I've officially changed his colours 5 times today! 🦖

Happy Father's day from the best father of the Permian period. 🌿

A remnant of the past, this is the original gorgonops skull that I sculpted out of plasticine clay to make a silicone mold, this lump of clay will be used to make the next animal skull on my list. 🦴
