Miniature replicas

Miniature Megalosaurus

It seems some miniature versions of the sculptures were made at about the same time for educational purposes and spread around the world, as told in this blog post: Perhaps worth a mention, Chiswick Chap? Sources can be found at the end of the blog post. We also seem to have a Commons photo of one of the small models. FunkMonk (talk) 16:20, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Go for it. By the way, talking of Megalosaurus, that article really should include the Dickens quote about M. waddling down the high street, it's highly relevant, and goes some way to explaining the odd shape of M. in this article too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Chiswick Chap, I just got this book, which is the most definitive account of the statues so far (hence my latest edit), and since this year is the 200th anniversary of the coinage of the name Dinosauria, there are various events planned, and I was thinking it would be fitting to get this article to FAC by adding missing stuff from the new book.
