RAWEN started a new dinosaur series on ABC/Patreon, I quote the author:
The first piece from my project "Dinosaur Zoo," which, unlike competing dinosaur parks, will adhere to scientific knowledge about dinosaurs
I chose Psittacosaurus as the first because it is one of the best scientifically described dinosaurs. Including the color and appearance of soft tissues, bristles, etc.

A few words about the original:
Psittacosaurus (literally parrot lizard) was a type of small dinosaur that lived roughly 130 million years ago. Its fossils were found mainly in Central and Eastern Asia (from Mongolia through China to Thailand). It was not very big and on average reached less than two meters in length. It belonged to the primitive ceratopsids and was thus a distant, albeit indirect, relative of the very well-known later Triceratops. However, the real bombshell was the discovery of a Psittacosaurus fossil in Liao-ning, China in 2016. This fossil was preserved with a perfect impression of the skin, including color, and with mysterious bristles on the tail! The model you are holding is an attempt at the most accurate reconstruction based on this discovery. Psittacosaurus as it really looked. (source author)
Model:
The fuselage glued together quite well, there was a bit of a problem with the opening jaw...... a few photos:
