My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
My life-size Meganeuropsis model (2017), a giant griffinfly from the Permian, USA. With a wingspan of 71cm, it was as big (if not bigger!) as the Carboniferous Meganeura.

The skin detail on my life-size Liopleurodon head, for Wollaton Hall Museum, required a furry finger (based on soft tissue published in Frey et al 2017). Also shown is the mould building.

Interesting thing about Meganeura (a Carboniferous "griffin fly"), its wing anatomy was a little different to dragonflies; e.g., it doesn't appear to have had a node or a pterostigma (let me know if there is any new info on this).

@npub12yv…lupm That's remarkable, it was thought they were extinct 290 million years ago! 👍 👍

@npub1gpa…xlk0 Yep, but on this occasion, I do suspect the wrestling apatosaurs was a response to an pub lunch with the SV-POW crew. 👍

@npub1n27…cdr3 In this case, it is fossilised melanosomes. The whole point of this project was to accurately reconstruct the melanin colour patterns preserved in the fossil. 👍

Dr Jakob Vinther (Uni of Bristol) was the driving force behind this project.

@npub1gpa…xlk0 No, they put the marine ones in the sea (it was a spin off of the River Monsters shows where a chap fished for big fish in rivers around the world).

@npub1jsh…hspt Yeah, the models location was wonderful. I think it has been relocated now because the Wills Building was shared with the Law Department and some of the law students/staff objected to the dinosaur. 🙄
