Albertosaurus

The first life-size sculpture of a dinosaur (Albertosaurus, 1984) that Mary Ann and I ever did.  It lives at the Tyrrell Museum.

 A different Albertosaurus snapping at the foot of a fleeing Struthiomimus They are outside at the Tyrrell.  The second one is leaping over the entry wall.
 

Another Albertosaurus about to be sent to Disney World in Florida.  It's  copy of one I did for The Dinosaur Project (a traveling exhibit in the early 90's).

Tyrannosaurus rex - This 36 foot piece of bad news actually resides in Milk River, Alberta and not someplace tropical as the photo may imply.  Since 1989, it has greeted American tourists crossing the border from Montana (sort of like your nastier, more ossified Wal-Mart version).

Tyrannosaurus rex before it was transported to it's final location.
