New Aquisition: Deinonychus antirrhopus

This started out as a Kickstarter a few months ago. The artist's vision was to make available scientifically accurate models.  One of his pledge offers was a 1:5 scale model + a T-shirt. Thankfully the Kickstarter was funded and the other day came to fruition when my model arrived at the door. 
I had forgotten about it being 1:5 scale and was surprised at the size of the box, and even more so with the kit. It's huge! 
The parts are very clean and you can barely see the seam lines. They should be easy to make disappear. The parts attachment points are ingenious in that there are feathers that will mask those points. Here are a few pics --



 Thanks for looking.
