Can I just buy the head? I bet that's all I could afford ;D
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Man, I'm really torn up about this. For one thing, I absolutely love your work Shane, and you're my favorite paleoartist,  so I want to have everything you make. On the other hand, I'm really not into mammals. I figure there may be more people who would want to have this more than me, so I'll let them have a chance at it. However, if you need more people to finish off the orders, let me know and I'll get one!

Joel i know your a dino dude but consider this, having the largest land mammal ever standing next to my dinosaurs in your collection will be a great display and give persective to those looking at them. I will keep you posted on the casting numbers.

Sorry my friend , if this was my product i would be glad to sell just the head (you can do this on my products anytime)but this is a commish for someone and it has limited numbered castings allowed of 25 only so i cant sell parts in this case. Same thing on the Sideshow collectibles cant order just a part off those either. email me if you would like to order something from me in the future though.

May I suggest making another Paraceratherium model that is not a commision, and is therefore not a limited release like this one, and  is in 1/25 scale? There is no way I will be able to afford or fit this one, but I really want it.

Hey Shane, any chance of putting this creature right next to your T. Rex and snapping a picture to post? If you have not sent it off to be cast already....

Well being that it took me over  a year to make this one and i am booked for the rest of the year on Commissions let alone still making models of my own for my line up and my painting and build up services, No i wont be just making another one. Its not so simple as it may sound to some. For those who dont make models for a living understand that there is not only the time it takes to make them but the expense to pay for the molding and material is also pricey. If people could see from start to finish what goes into all this then i think it would give a whole new impression to those that see it.

The price on this huge model 15.5"tall by 29.5" long is 420 preorder cost, retail once molded may be more but this price does include shipping. here is a pic of it next to my other very large models.

A Mammal it may be, but WHAT a mammal! It's a bona fide Rhinosaurus rex, that's what it is! :))

Thanks for taking the time to pose the Para against the dinos Shane. Now that is what I call a picture. I don't know how some scientist can estimate the weight of the Apatosaurus at close to twice the weight of the Para????
