37 inch T-Rex Replica

This is the best t-rex model offered anywhere, and at a price that can't be beat!

Introduction:

Tyrannosaurus lived 60 million years ago in many parts of North America. No complete fossil of a T-Rex has ever been found, leaving us with an incomplete knowledge of its appearance and existence. The assembled composites that now exist in museums around the world gives us a very good idea of what this animal might have been like in life.

This Tyrannosaurus replica is modeled after fossil exhibits displayed in the American Museum of Natural History, New York, the Chicago Field Museum, the Museum at University of California's Berkeley Life Science's building, and the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. The master for this T-Rex replica was entirely hand made, each bone carved using hand tools and finished with an eye to looking as close as possible to the actual fossils it was modeled after.

This replica is intended to be both enjoyed as a display and conversation piece and as an educational tool. As a fully articulated poseable display, it is possible to move all the body parts in to any position that the animal was capable of in life. Of course no two scientists or artists imagine T-rex quite the same way, so the best modern T-Rexes on display in museums are never the same. Once the bones are excavated and mounted, you are on the trail to fantasy. No one really knows how these interesting animals held themselves, walked, ran or jumped. You can explore all these possibilities and more with this replica. Dimensionally it is as accurate as it can be in one twelfth scale. You may wish to add the soft tissue and explore the many possibilities of how this animal may have looked. Information is available on animal locomotion, how joints work, body mass and more in your local library and the Internet. Many new books have been published in the last few years making the study of the Tyrannosaurs a very interesting pastime.

People may not appreciate the expense involved in mounting a full sized dinosaur skeleton. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy casts of bones from a museum and can take a crew years to prepare and mount a T-rex. But for the scale, all be it smaller, there is no practical difference between this replica and the full sized fossil, although you should be able to assemble the model in a single full weekend. At 37 inches, this replica may actually be the same size as a Tyrannosaurus hatchling. As a hand made article there will never be very many of these T-Rex replicas produced, which makes it a collectable item by it's very nature.
