If they reproduced the same style like later polycotylids, the newborn ones were just huge. Pliosaurus could reach a total lenght of about 12 m. So our 3 m model is a very young juvenile. Never fell into the prey class of a number of fishes!

Ebb and flow! After some projects, we cleaned the workshop of plastic dust, taking about 19 hours in one shift. Now ready for the next team projects: Before returning to sculpting, it is time for historical restorations
