An excellent learning tool for Gross Anatomy!
I took a Gross Anatomy course, and "Big Tim" helped me a great deal in the memorization of over 50 muscle origins and insertions. He's not so big that he takes up a lot of space, and he's not too small either, so that I can read the numbers indicating muscles and bones. I encourage every Anatomy scholar to own a Big Tim Skeleton.

No Bones About It
I have to say that this skeleton was exactly what I was looking for. Small enough to put on a desk but detailed enough to be able to study from. I'm a second year medical student and didn't notice any anatomical defects. I gave this as a gift to my girlfriend who is also studying anatomy for nursing. And she loves it!I also liked the painted muscle insertions and origins.Very well done.

Great Skeleton...Great Price...
Big Tim was a big hit. I originally bought this guy as a reference tool to memorize all the bones for my A&P Lab class. Worked pretty well, got a 90 on that test. But it also sparked an interest in my 6 year old son. He helps to identify bones (probably the only 6 year old who can tell you where his patella is). Although some parts are tiny, it is very detailed (you can identify tuberosities, foramens and such). You can even open the skull and identify the bones within the skull (be careful though - you pull too hard or twist the skull cap too much and it could break). Even now, when I have moved on to the brain, Big Tim is still being used by my family for play and reference. Definitely worth the $30, sturdy, detailed, and great for learning of any age (almost)!
