We’re thrilled to share our newest creation: the Scorpion model. This marks a groundbreaking moment for WONDER Artistic Models as it’s our first venture into the world of arthropods.
Scorpions, those ancient and fascinating creatures, have captivated imaginations for centuries. With their distinctive appearance and complex anatomy, they presented us with a truly exciting challenge.
We were inspired by the majestic desert hairy scorpion to create a model that truly captures the essence of this incredible arachnid.

organic articulations
What sets our Scorpion model apart is its unparalleled level of articulation.
We’ve meticulously engineered joints for its pedipalps –those formidable, claw-like appendages– as well as its pincers, granting you the freedom to position them with astonishing precision, just as the real scorpion would.
Also, the metasoma (or tail) is also fully articulated in five sections, culminating in the telson –the venomous stinger.
This level of detail allows for a very large array of dynamic poses, transforming your model from a static display piece into a living, breathing piece.
As with all WONDER models, anatomical precision is paramount, ensuring an authentic and educational experience.
The Scorpion’s exoskeleton is meticulously recreated, capturing the volume of its real-world counterpart. Its eight legs are also very organic, allowing you to recreate an interesting defensive posture.
The Scorpion model’s eyes, positioned on the top of its cephalothorax, are cleverly depicted, adding to its lifelike appearance.
