Going to See the Dinos!




We got to tour the Billings Productions warehouse where many of the dinosaurs are created that we see at zoos and museums all over the world. Thank you Nik, Cody and Lauren for this amazing experience!

Nik told us that many of the dinos that come in for repair are missing teeth because people steal them.



This picture is deceptive. Nik and Cortland are actually standing right next to that T-Rex on the left. It's HUGE!

Heh! 
When finished this unpainted mold will roar and move. Cody said it takes five artists 2-3 days to airbrush the dinosaurs. The attention to detail is amazing. Everything is thought of down to the polished eyeballs.

Oh, the carnage!
I wanted C to put his head in there; or at least look at me from between its jaws, but he would have none of that!

Alan wasn't chicken!
