    As Paleontologist all starts with this Bust.


    everybody Knows Charles Darwin...he is the Father of Evolution Theory
    This is the first 1:10 scale miniature of the explorer, naturalist, scientist and writer Charles Robert Darwin (12. February 1809 - 19. April 1882).
    Darwin was an English naturalist, a scholar of geology and biology best known for his astonishing contributions to the science of evolution. His proposition that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors is now widely accepted, and considered a foundational concept in science.

    3-piece model in unpainted resin with a natural oak base.
    This bust won a silver prize in Calenzano hobby model competition 2019

    Project and scientific study by Gianpaolo Di Silvestro

    painted by Luca Vergerio and Sculpted by Simone Rasetti

    Not only is Darwin the father of evolution theory but he is my shining example of the scientific method. It's incredible how he never stops reasoning 'if ... then I should be able to find such-and-such an organism' and then goes and find exactly that.
    I saw your plague doctor on facebook and was interested but Darwin definitely goes first.

    I had been wishing for a series with scientists and engineers so I'm definitely going to follow your company.

    I ordered the Darwin bust and the Aviatrix bust. Both came to me in the US as swiftly as if they were coming from another city in the next state.

    Very good service all the way.
