My original acro skeletal was done about a decade ago, with a quick revisit in 2003 to change the limbs to the modern inward-facing palm position (this was the version that was available on the web). It held up reasonably well, the proportions were fine, etc. The largest problem was I had restored the dorsal neural spines after the BHI reconstruction of "Fran" NCSM 14345, which by their own admission was excessive - none of the neural spines were complete in the dorsal region, so they made them as impressive-looking as possible.
Now I've gone back and set them at a more conservative height, and one that is more in line with the other specimens. I also updated the forelimbs after the work of Senter & Robbins (2005), as I'd protracted the humerus too far back in 2003.
That's it, pretty minor, but since I had to do the work anyways I figured I'd share it here on DA.
