Here’s a sneak peak at another #lego model I’ve had the chance to work on depicting recently published Late Triassic animals, specifically the little amphibian Ninumbeehan!

More details and builds coming soon!

My 2024 monochrome chasmosaur model. This model takes features from various ceratopsians, including Torosaurus latus and Pentaceratops sternbergii, to create a more stylized individual.
