[MOC] Carnotaurus

[Leewan]

Hi,

I've recently completed my latest MOC, a carnotaurus :

It measures about 40cm / 16in long, 18 cm / 7 in tall, and is made of about 680 parts. The baseplate has a diameter of 18cm / 7in, and is made of about 350 parts.

I've built a first dinosaur - an ankylosaurus - about a year and half ago, and started working on the carnotaurus at that time. I ultimately turned it into a spinovenator for LEGO IDEAS' hybrid dinosaur contest, and decided to build it it with physical parts after that.

You can see more photos of it on flickr.

Carnotaurus is not a "superstar"

I think it's still a quite well-known dinosaur. I initially considered doing a concavenator, which is, I think, much more obscure.

Nice shape and nice eyes! I like that you don´t build just the famous dinosaurs!

Thank you @Actionfigure, it's much appreciated coming from a talented animal builder such as you.

Good build, and the display stand takes it to fantastic.

Thank you @Merlict. The baseplate was initially quite plain, but a friend of mine suggested me to add a bit of colour. It looks more natural that way. The tree stump was a good way to repurpose the new cake icing element, but my favourite detail would be the - barely visible - prehistoric mouse.

Looks swift.
