Description

65 models representing 53 species of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals were produced for the line. Each of the models was hand-painted, ensuring that no two copies of the same model are identical. Each model was sculpted by artist Forest Rogers and authenticated by

''Prehistoric Times Magazine'', no. 92, Winter 2009. Most of the animals were sculpted at a 1:40 scale (where one inch on the model represents 40 inches on the real creature), although some models representing smaller creatures were produced at a larger scale. Models in the collection range greatly in size from 24 inches long (original ''Diplodocus'') to only three inches long (original ''Dimetrodon'') with all shapes and sizes represented in-between. On the underside of each model is information detailing its name, year of initial production, and

"Modelling prehistory: from the Crystal Palace Park to ‘Jurassic Park’". ''Geology Today'', Vol. 35, No. 4, July–August 2019. In some cases, the dinosaurs were packaged in cardboard display boxes, in which case a small booklet featuring information on each dinosaur featured in the collection was included in lieu of the hang tags. In some instances, two or three models would be packaged together in a box. Examples include ''Dimetrodon'' and ''

The boxes are not often seen today, and most of the time the dinosaurs are found free of packaging. Also produced for the collection was a specially-designed display "mountain". The display featured multiple tiers upon which the pieces in the collection could be placed in a variety of creative ways. This display was touted primarily to retailers in order to encourage sales of the replicas, but the display has also become popular with collectors. The partnership between the Carnegie Museum and Safari Ltd. began in 1987. Production of the Carnegie Collection began in 1988, when Forest Rogers was first contracted to sculpt the models. Some were released in 1988,Moore, Randy. ''Dinosaurs by the Decades: A Chronology of the Dinosaur in Science and Popular Culture: A Chronology of the Dinosaur in Science and Popular Culture''. ABC-CLIO, 2014. and all 17 of these initial models were released by 1989, and several models were added to the line each year after that. The line ended in March 2015, after a 28-year partnership.Safari Ltd. "Safari Ltd Ends Licensing Contract with Carnegie Museum of Natural History]." Press Release, 2 Mar 2015.


Models

Prior to 1996, each model was cast from a grey material and covered in a coat of paint corresponding to the base color of the finished model. The details of the model were then painted onto this layer of paint, resulting in a loss of the finer sculpting detail due to the thickness of the paint on each finished model. Beginning in 1996, each new model was cast from a pigmented material corresponding to the base color of the finished model. The details of the model were then painted directly onto this material, resulting in greater detail and a less shiny appearance. In 1997, most older models received updated molds that utilized color vinyl, and some were repainted with new color schemes, while a few others were retired. Despite the modifications, the eighteen remaining models retained the same model numbers as their predecessors. This became the cause of some confusion as a single model number was used to refer to two versions of the same model, which was particularly noticeable with the new color schemes for ''
