Appreciate Nature, Deep Time and Ancient Environments

Just like animals today, prehistoric animals lived in complex ecosystems.  Collectors learn about ancient climates, the flora and other organisms.  You gain an insight into palaeontology and concepts such as deep time.  That insight and knowledge encourages an interest in conservation today.  The benefits of collecting dinosaur models include a deeper respect for the natural world.

Each model is an example of miniature art. Models capture fine anatomical details and some are highly accurate.
