These
pieces were really fun (and hard work) to research and make ,
being done for the most part for museums and corporations. It
seems everyone of all ages loves dinosaurs, me being no exception.
In
1990 , I participated in the the making of a 40 ft. long T- Rex
for the Tyrell Museum of Paleontology , Drumhellar , AB. ( made
for the interpretive center in Milk River , AB. ).
I was a member of a 3 sculptor team and we completed the piece
in 7 months , using steel , fiberglass , epoxy resin , etc. to
create this ( 6.5 m high x 13.5 m long x 3.5 m wide ) life sized
dinosaur .
In
1994 I was again a member of a 3 sculptor team to create more
dinosaurs for the now Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology , Drumhellar
, AB. . We made three dinosaurs ; a 30 ft. long Albertasaurus
( 3.5 m high x 9.2 m long x 2.8 m wide) that would be chasing
two 16 ft. long Struthiomimus . It took us 4 months to complete
the project . The three pieces which were made from steel , fiberglass
and epoxy resin stand in front of the Tyrell Museum on permanent
display .
In
1994 I again had the pleasure to be a member of a 3 sculptor team
to create a 40 ft. long T-Rex for the Jurassic Park Movie Traveling
Exhibition . We used molds taken off a previous T-Rex to make
a copy in fiberglass , which we cut up and reassembled in a different
position .. It took us one month and was a rush job . We used
steel , fiberglass and epoxy resin to make the huge ( 6.5 m high
x 13.5 m long x 3.5 m wide ) dinosaur that was used in the Travelling
Exhibition that visited most major U.S. cities .
