Scanned by Cosmo Wenman using Autodesk 123D Catch at The British Museum, London, August 2012.
This monster waits for visitors just inside the British Museum's Great Room. It's just unbelievably huge. And it has that weird, lumpen, almost friendly quasi-human quality to its face that so many pre-photographic depictions of animals have.
I've shared my AutoDesk 123D Catch scan, and an unedited .obj file. I included the .stl too, just so there'd be a cool preview image of the file here.
This file is not printable in its current state. Overall, it's a pretty good scan, but there are some holes in the mesh that need to be artfully repaired by hand. Once that's done, it looks to me like this is a very printable model.
If you re-export the obj file from Catch, get the texture file too: it looks great onscreen, even if you don't print it.
