Among the best-known sauropods, Diplodocus were very large, long-necked, quadrupedal animals, with long, whip-like tails. Their forelimbs were slightly shorter than their hind limbs, resulting in a largely horizontal posture. The skeletal structures of these long-necked, long-tailed animals supported by four sturdy legs have been compared with cantilever bridges. D. carnegii is one of the longest dinosaurs known from a complete skeleton, with a total length of 24–26 meters (79–85 ft). Modern mass estimates for D. carnegii have tended to be in the 12–14.8-metric-ton (13.2–16.3-short-ton) range.

At approximately 1524 mm in length, this 1:18 scale skeletal reconstruction is gigantic!  It will make a huge impact in any museum-style display, and serious paleoart enthusiast collection.
