Allosaurus Fragilis

This is what I did on my Christmas Vacation.
I designed the entire allosaur from scratch, using several dinosaur books and Adobe Illustrator.
The design took about 8 hours.
Construction took about 24 hours total over four days.
Materials: 2 4'x8' sheets 3/4" plywood, 1 4'x8' sheet 1/2" plywood
2 bolts, 1 screw, 1 washer, gravity, and friction.

Dad in a more serious moment.

You can see the tail behind Dad's shoulder almost reaching the 16' ceiling. The wall behind the allosaur was painted the color of the splotch on it.
