PNSO Lucio the Amargasaurus: a walkaround by Kikimalou

Second walkaround of the day, lazy people when they get down to it, they get down to it !  

Amargasaurus cazaui ! That's a pretty name for a fantastic sauropod. This handsome Argentinian danced the tango at the beginning of the Cretaceous. Small for a sauropod, 9 to 13m long, it shines mainly because of the two parallel rows of tall spines along its neck and back, taller than any other known sauropod. We don't know if these thorns came out naked from the animal or if it served as a skeleton with two veils of skin. PNSO avoided choosing, our friend has half-covered thorns and I find that very successful.

It's been a long time since I wanted to welcome such an animal in my collection but until now no model had convinced me.
And then PNSO produced this little marvel in 2019 at a prohibitive price for me at the time. In 2021, the brand reissued the model with a new paint job, in 2023 I thought life was too short to be reasonable and broke the bank.

PNSO specifies that Lucio (that's his name) is at 1/35 scale but with my bad habit of measuring everything I find that the scale varies between 1/22 and 1/32. So it joined my 1/30 fauna.

Alright, here are the pics

Nice dinosaur

Thank you Andreas

Absolutely superb figure! Very graceful for a beast of that size, wonderful pose. I love how the spines play with the painting. PNSO is really the brand of the dinosaurs. Curiously, among your comparisons, my favorite one is with the Sauropelta.

It's gorgeous I love everything about it. Somehow it looks like an enchanted dragon while still being realistic.
Thank you for the great photos and comparisons. Even the base looks great

Amargasaurus is a genus I had a very difficult time deciding on. I finally went with the old Safari Carnegie figure based on sculpt and size (so many Amargasaurus figures are really big next to other sauropod figures that represent larger species)

Thank you my friends

Yes Rogério, the Safari ltd and the PNSO works together very well, they are both great models but sometimes this is not enough for them to coexist well together. These two were made for each other

Yes Blaine, if you want to show them by genus then the Carnegie is a good choice. Presenting your collection by scale allows real freedom from this point of view, whatever the size, a model is almost certain to find friends.
