Museum of the Rockies, Bozeman, Montana: Bronze Tyrannosaurus rex, 2001
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:46 pm EDT, May 25, 2007

With only four months notice, we molded, cast, mounted and installed a 40 foot long bronze Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. The commission involved producing waxes and a ceramic shell mold, casting in bronze, assembly, chasing, sandblasting and patinating. The stainless steel support armature was also made in our shop. The skeletal mount is the first of its kind. The 6,500 pound skeleton was unveiled at the 2001 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference in Bozeman.

This has since found its way to my workplace. Along with some plastic pink flamingoes. I need a picture of myself in front of it!
