Ok,

I am searching for something and I hope that you fellows can point me in the good direction.

For a new project I am brainstorming about I need a dino skeleton in 1/35 scale.

Not a T-rex or something big, because that is simply to big, but I was thinking more of a Velociraptor or another smaller dino.

Does that exist?

My son has a dinosaur bone set - it's a set of vertebrae, tails, skulls, legs, etc. that you put together to form different dinosaurs.

The scale is not "exact", but hey, I'm sure there were some dinosaurs that were of this size.

I'd suggest looking in the nature toy sections of stores.

I made a 'Dino' skeleton years ago....out of a rat skeleton. Looked quite good. Boiled the bones for ages, came out clean. Seal 'em with laquer.

Tamiya carries a number of dinosaur models in 1/35 scale. It includes a Velocaraptor in a set of 6 of them.

My son has a few thatwe purchased at a museum gft shop (although I'm not quite sure of the scale). They are plastic and had to be assembled. If I can locate the packaging or instructions I will let you know he manufacturer's name.
