Hallucigenia sparsa : Prickly Worm

myminifactory

Available sizes Small – 1:1 of the actual size | Normal & Pre-supported versions Description Hallucigenia has a worm-like body with a small head at the end of a long neck; the trunk bears seven pairs of long dorsal spines and seven pairs of slender leg-like lobes. The spacing between lobes and spines is relatively constant. The spine pairs are shifted forward so that the posterior pair of legs does not have a corresponding pair of spines above. Each leg terminates in a pair of claws and the rigid spines have inflexible basal plates. The neck area bears two or three pairs of very fine anterior “appendages” lacking terminal claws. The head is indistinct but the mouth is anterior. Additional Details Print can be used with or without the base. Base is hollow to minimize the amount of resin used. Care should be taken when removing supports. Using a heat gun or a blow dryer is highly recommended.
