The Diplodocus is one of the most popular sauropod dinosaurs of all time. Diplodocus belonged to the group of sauropods, well-known large dinosaurs that had long necks and tails. They were among the largest creatures to have walked the planet. It was discovered in 1877, and from then until today it remains the center of attraction in different museums and documentaries. Honoring its enormous dimensions, this Diplodocus is the largest model in the accurate scale collection.
This version of the Diplodocus is based on the famous Diplodocus carnegii, known colloquially as Dippy. It is designed in 1:25 scale, so it measures 1 meter long. It has an articulated jaw and a neck divided into 4 sections that allow it to bend. Its tail has 20 divisions that will allow you to assemble it in any way you want, giving it its peculiar appearance of a whip. It also includes spare parts in case you lose any.
This model's one meter length can be reduced by the joints in the tail; that is, the more pronounced the curves that are given to the tail, the more its length will be reduced. In addition, the Diplodocus was a slender dinosaur, so its body extends little in height and width. These qualities make this model ideal for tables and shelves.
This model has been exhibited at the National Museum of Natural History in Santiago de Chile.
