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! #paleoart #paleontology #scicomm #scienceart #biology #legomoc #afol

Early group render of Ninumbeehan dookoodukah (left) and Ahvaytum bahndooiveche (right). Both models are life-size and in scale with one another.

#lego Ahvaytum bahndooiveche in its natural habitat (kind of). Brought this model out to Wyoming for field work, and managed to get some pictures of it in the place it used to call home. #paleontology #paleoart #scicomm #Triassic

Removed stand for dramatic effect 😏. Also very happy with the reflection here!

Model displayed in the Ahvaytum booth at the 2025 UWGM Open House event.

Screenshot from the building software Stud.io of an early stage in the Ahvaytum build process.

The final Ahvaytum model compared to a 3D printed skull of Eoraptor lunensis. Both are roughly life-size.

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