Pipe-Cleaner model



My daughter had her science fair this week. She chose to make a dinosaur model. For some reason she selected the obscure styracosaurus as the subject. This is a relative of the more widely known triceretops. While the tric. had 3 horns, this ugly beast had 17 horns. I made this model out of pipe cleaners and a few pics I was able to pull off the internet. There are a few missing details, hip bones, right/left pelvis, and there a lot of missing ribs and rib-like structures. The final model she made with balsa wood, not my first choice of material, but it required nearly no power tools, so I can't complain too much.
