Sue from Everything Dinosaur has been busy preparing for Triceratops talk details ahead of her first ever dinosaur presentation. The special event will take place at DinoCon, where Sue will explain how the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range was created.

The presentation, entitled “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex”, provides a unique look behind the scenes. Attendees will discover how a dinosaur model moves from an initial idea to a scientifically informed prehistoric animal figure.

The talk will also include an exclusive update on the second figure in the Everything Dinosaur Evolution series – Triceratops.

Preparing for Triceratops Talk and Studying the Science

Developing a new prehistoric animal model requires a huge amount of research. Therefore, Sue has been examining fossils and studying Triceratops anatomy as part of her preparations.

The horned dinosaur is one of the most famous animals from the Late Cretaceous. However, creating an accurate model involves much more than simply adding three horns and a large frill.

Every detail must be considered. For example, the Everything Dinosaur team examines fossil evidence, scientific papers and the latest research before finalising a design.

Sue commented:

“The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range reflects our passion for prehistoric animals. We want to show how much teamwork, research and collaboration is involved in bringing these amazing creatures to life. Preparing for Triceratops talk is my number one priority.”

It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex

The first figure in the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range was the Tyrannosaurus rex. This remarkable model was designed and developed in the UK. It brought together a dedicated group of specialists.

To view the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range: Everything Dinosaur Evolution Models.

The team includes palaeontologists, palaeoartists, digital sculptors, designers, manufacturing experts and dinosaur enthusiasts. From the first sketches to the finished replica, every stage involved discussion and careful planning.

At DinoCon, Sue will explain how this collaborative approach helped create the first Evolution figure. In addition, she will discuss how lessons learned from Tyrannosaurus rex are helping to shape the new Triceratops.

An Exclusive Look at the Next Everything Dinosaur Evolution Model

Visitors attending the presentation will be given a rare glimpse into the development process. Sue will outline the progress made on the next model in the range. Furthermore, she will reveal how ideas are transformed into a detailed digital sculpt.

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range was created to combine scientific knowledge with beautiful model design. Importantly, collectors are part of this journey too.

The aim is simple. Everything Dinosaur wants to celebrate prehistoric life and share the story behind each figure.

Sue’s First DinoCon Presentation

Although Sue has spent many years working with dinosaur models, fossils and collectors around the world, this will be her first dinosaur presentation at DinoCon. Preparation has involved lots of research, reviewing images, studying fossils and working closely with the rest of the team.

The presentation highlights a simple message – it really does take a team to build a T. rex.

It takes a team to build a Triceratops too. Sue has enjoyed preparing for Triceratops talk activities, as they provide an opportunity to share the research and teamwork behind the next Everything Dinosaur Evolution figure.

Visitors to DinoCon will soon discover how much science, creativity and teamwork goes into changing the world, one dinosaur model at a time.
