Smilodon populator : Pursuit Predation

myminifactory

Probably the best known saber-toothed cat, Smilodon lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch. The generic name means "scalpel" or "two-edged knife" combined with "tooth". Overall, Smilodon was more robustly built than any extant cat, with particularly well-developed forelimbs and exceptionally long upper canine teeth. Its jaw had a bigger gape than that of modern cats, and its upper canines were slender and fragile, being adapted for precision killing. The coat pattern of Smilodon is unknown, but it has been artistically restored with plain or spotted patterns. Model includes a Pre-supported version as well as a Hollowed version. Curing inside the model using a portable UV lamp is recomended for the hollowed version. The model is sized for 1:15 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model.
