Long-tailed Pterosaurs

Hi All! -- Hey, does anyone know of any anatomically accurate models of "rhamphorhynchoid" (long-tailed, basal) pterosaurs, such as Rhamphorhynchus, Dimorphodon, or Eudimorphodon? There are tons of great pterodactyloid (short-tailed) pterosaurs like Pteranodon that have all the fingers and toes, but the only "rhamphorhynchoids" I know of, like Montroll's, are great but lack these details. Just curious if anyone has tackled the subject and, if so, if there are diagrams, cp's, and/or photos out there somewhere. Thanks!

Oooo, that one is nice, even if it's of an animal that doesn't actually exist (!). Anyone else know of any others?

...oh, and except that long-tailed pterosaurs have five-toed feet; the short-tailed ones have four toes...

I'm having trouble finding better photos, but Brian did a sick Rhamphorhynchus a couple years ago.

Unfortunately Brian's site has ceased to exist, and i believe a picture was on there
