Back in 1997-98, I built a full size (14’ tall x 39’ long) T-Rex skeleton out of scrap sheet metal and tube steel. It appeared in the Aug 1999 Nat. Geo. magazine, 3/4 of a page story w/photo.

We named it Rusty Rex. Sold it in Dec 2000, to Niabi Zoo, Moline, IL.

Made a few more: a triceratops (partial), a Pteranodon (23’ wingspan), and 8 velociraptors (diffferent poses).
