This model was planned as part of a much larger diorama of the Wessex Formation in the Isle of Wight, which has turned up most of the more dramatic British dinosaurs of the past thirty years, including Neovenator, Baryonyx, Eotyrannus and various fragmentary giant sauropods. However since I'm working in 1:8 scale a full diorama is now looking a bit ambitious.
Since Neovenator is not well known I've drawn heavily on Scott Hartman's Allosaurus skeletal diagrams. The armature is made of ply and aluminium wire with a heavy base to support its running stance. The rest of the body is sculpted from polystyrene, laid over with plaster and a final skin of clay before painting.
