The Haolonggood Diplodocus dinosaur model is an impressive prehistoric animal figure. Measuring around seventy-five centimetres in length, this 1:35 scale replica makes a real statement in any collection. Recently, young dinosaur fan and talented artist Caldey sent Everything Dinosaur a wonderful photograph of the Haolonggood Diplodocus dinosaur model (Meng Kang variant) enjoying some bright sunshine in the garden.

We were delighted to receive the image. Furthermore, it demonstrates the creativity and imagination that many collectors bring to the hobby.

Photographing Dinosaur Models

Photographing dinosaur models can be challenging. Furthermore, capturing a realistic image of a large sauropod presents additional difficulties. The Haolonggood Diplodocus is a sizeable figure, and its length can make it difficult to frame correctly.

Collectors often need to think carefully about the background. After all, modern gardens can contain many features that break the illusion of travelling back in time. Therefore, photographers often search for suitable plants and natural settings. Ferns and conifers work particularly well. These plants help to recreate a landscape that resembles the Mesozoic. As a result, the dinosaur model appears more at home in its surroundings.

Creating a Sense of Scale

Another challenge involves conveying the enormous size of Diplodocus. This famous Jurassic dinosaur measured more than twenty metres in length. Consequently, photographers must compose their images carefully if they want to suggest the immense scale of the animal.

Caldey’s photograph succeeds in this respect. The low angle and thoughtful composition help to emphasise the long neck and tail. In addition, the bright sunlight highlights the details and colours of the model.

The result is an engaging image that encourages viewers to imagine this giant dinosaur moving through an ancient landscape.

The Haolonggood Diplodocus Dinosaur Model Encourages Creativity

At Everything Dinosaur, we always enjoy seeing how collectors display and photograph their models. Many enthusiasts create dioramas, artwork and imaginative photographs inspired by prehistoric life. Moreover, these creative projects help bring science, art and storytelling together.

We actively encourage collectors to share their artistic work. Whether it is a detailed drawing, a painted scene or a carefully composed photograph, every contribution helps celebrate our shared fascination with prehistoric animals. Creative projects also inspire other collectors. As a result, they help strengthen the wonderful community that has grown around dinosaur collecting.

A Fantastic Photograph

Caldey’s photograph of the Haolonggood Diplodocus dinosaur model captures the spirit of this remarkable Jurassic giant. The image shows careful planning, artistic skill and an eye for composition.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Caldey has created a fantastic photograph of the Haolonggood Diplodocus. Capturing a model of this size in a realistic setting is not easy, but she has done a wonderful job. We congratulate her on her artistic endeavours and thank her for sharing her creativity with us. We look forward to seeing more of her excellent work in the future.”

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for 2026 Haolonggood Paraceratherium model.  This is the second prehistoric mammal figure to be introduced by this company. Recently a Woolly Rhinoceros figure (Coelodonta) was announced.  Intriguingly, the giant Paraceratherium is distantly related to Coelodonta.  Both animals are odd-toed ungulates (Perissodactyla).

The New for 2026 Haolonggood Paraceratherium Model

Haolonggood have a great reputation for making dinosaur models.  The company is expanding its range and introducing some prehistoric mammals.  Paraceratherium is regarded as one of the largest terrestrial mammals that ever lived.  It probably rivalled the biggest elephants in terms of size. The size of Paraceratherium is unknown. The fragmentary nature of the fossils makes estimating the size of this mammal difficult. Palaeontologists estimate that it stood around 4.8 metres high at the shoulder and its weight is estimated at approximately fifteen tonnes.

The new for 2026 Paraceratherium model is 24 cm long and stands 15 cm tall.

The Haolonggood Paraceratherium model measures twenty-four centimetres long and it stands fifteen centimetres high.  It has a declared scale of 1:35.

Haolonggood Ancient Witness

Both the Coelodonta and the Paraceratherium figures are sub-branded “Ancient Witness”.  This could be an attempt by the manufacturer to differentiate their range of prehistoric animal models from their highly successful range of dinosaur figures.  The Haolonggood Paraceratherium model is one of two, new Paraceratheriums due out this year.  Eofauna will be introducing a figure of this Oligocene giant too. However, the Eofauna model has been delayed.

There is only a limited time to reserve a figure.  Haolonggood have requested that all orders for these special-edition figures be placed at the factory by the 14th of February (2026).  The models are not in production, it is likely that production will take place in the spring. Therefore, we anticipate these three Haolonggood Dreadnoughtus models coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur in the summer (2026).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“At seventy centimetres long, these 1/35th scale models are spectacular.  As only the initial painting samples are available for reference, we are not asking for pre-orders, or any deposit to be paid.  Instead, if a collector is interested in a figure, they can email us and we would be happy to set one aside for them.”

Three Haolonggood Sauroposeidon Models

Each Haolonggood Sauroposeidon model measures fifty-one centimetres high.  They are beautifully detailed sauropod figures. It is ironic that a model tree will be supplied with the initial production run, as when the fossilised bones were first discovered they were so big, they were thought to represent petrified wood.  This Early Cretaceous sauropod from North America is known from several fragmentary but partially articulated fossils.  Size estimates vary, but it has been suggested that this dinosaur could weigh more than forty tonnes.

The genus name translates as “Earthquake Lizard God”, a reference to its huge size and the Greek god Poseidon. Furthermore, it is the state dinosaur of Texas.

The HLG 185c Sauroposeidon Heterochromatic version rearing up to reach the top of the tree. Each Sauroposeidon figure stands 51 cm tall.

It was initially thought to be a brachiosaurid and closely related to Giraffatitan and Brachiosaurus. However, more recent analysis suggests it was more closely related to titanosaurs. It was scientifically described by Wedel, Cifelli and Sanders (2000). One species is currently recognised – Sauroposeidon proteles.  Sauroposeidon was one of the last known sauropods from the Early Cretaceous of North America.  Sauropods seemed to have become extinct in North America for some forty million years until their reappearance in the United States fossil record with Upper Cretaceous remains assigned to Alamosaurus.

To read an earlier article from Everything Dinosaur about this huge sauropod: The Amazing Sauroposeidon.

Sauropods could have remained in America, the lack of fossil evidence could be explained by a sampling bias or an absence of exposed surface strata that preserve remains. In the original scientific paper, the authors pointed out that the demise of sauropods from North America predates the radiation of flowering plants.  The extinction (if any) could not be as a result of the evolution of angiosperms.

This batch of Haolonggood Sauroposeidon model will be supplied with a sixty-centimetre-high tree model, two pterosaur figures and a full-colour Sauroposeidon poster.

All four sets of figures have a declared scale of 1:35. The Shantungosaurus packaging reflects the size of this enormous duck-billed dinosaur.  Each Shantungosaurus model measures around forty centimetres in length.  Shantungosaurus is one of the largest ornithischian dinosaurs known.  Size estimates vary, but some specimens on display in China measure over fourteen metres long! The size of the Shantungosaurus becomes apparent when the box is compared to the Brontosaurus packaging.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“Four pairs of fabulous dinosaur models.  All of them models of herbivorous dinosaurs.  The Brontosaurus model measures over forty-five centimetres long.  However, the Shantungosaurus, also in 1/35th scale is not far behind it at nearly forty centimetres in length.  It is great to see another ceratopsian, a fantastic pair of Torosaurus dinosaurs.  In addition, we have the new Iguanodon figures too.”
