Giant Deer (NHMW-Geo 1876/0030/0003)3D Model
3D scan of an original fossilized skeleton of a giant deer (Megaloceros giganteus) found in Ireland from the Late Pleistocene (ca. 12,000 years old). The males had a shoulder height of around 2.1 meters and their antlers are the largest known in any deer with a width up to 4 meters. The giant deer disappeared around 11,700 years ago in Europe, like many other animals from the Ice Age.
The skeleton of the giant deer can be found in the Ice Age (Eiszeit) corridor of the NHM Vienna.

From the thumbnail I thought it was gonna be a SCiP
This is my first time to contact you.
We're impressed with your 3d model of skeleton specimens!
my name is Yumi, the coloring manager of AMPHI LLC.
Our company mainly manufacture exhibition models of living things in Japan.
I would appreciate it if you would approve us to use your 3D models for commercial purpose.
The 3D printers are not yet widespread only few people can handle them in Japan.Therefore, not many people can create and handle 3D datas. Without deburring and coloring techniques, Those who want it
wouldn't be able to get a realistic replica.We sell them at the most affordable price and are pleased by many customers.We have confidence that more people will be pleased with the wonderful 3d models in the museum collection.
How wonderful it would be if my house became a small museum and enjoy it.
We would like to deliver it to those who absolutely want it, and we want them to make effective use of it.
We would appreciate it if you could consider the commercial use of 3D datas.
Sincerely,
AMPHI LLC

P.S.
We have contributed to the local community by utilizing the 3D datas.
By donating the full-scale tyrannosaurus skull replica from the Smithsonian Museum to the local cultural center,and holding free exhibitions at the public library, we will create opportunities for many people, including local children, to feel closer to museums around the world.There are a wide variety of educational facilities in Tokyo, however it is often difficult for local people to visit frequently, so we hope that our activities will help with education.
