Believe it or not, this Edmontosaurus (correction!) was again traced right on top of one of my own pictures of a mounted cast skeleton at the Oxford University museum… weird angle!
Using real models can change anybody’s traditional perspective of how the animal must have looked in real life and is an excellent way of doing your homework. Obviously there are many things to be taken in consideration to know how to modify dodgy museum mounts… and for that you need to do even more homework.
