A big T. rex mid stride, head low and tail held out straight behind it. The body is built in flat facets, ring by ring, from the point of the tail to the end of the snout, with a massive head, a deep chest, two tiny arms and heavy legs. Its colours are the ones you would hope to see in a museum: deep olive and moss down the back, dark bars across it, warm sand under the belly, a small amber eye and printed teeth along the open jaw. It stands on a slab of rock with ferns, boulders, a couple of old bones and a small plaque.

Every part comes already cut and scored, so there is no knife work. You fold, glue the labelled flaps and build it section by section: tail, body, head, arms, legs, rock and feet. The pieces that sit on the model have their spots printed on it, marked with their letter.

In the box: 39 loose parts, already cut out and scored, on heavy cardstock printed in full colour, and a step by step picture manual in English and French.

You need: white PVA glue, a toothpick and a few evenings. Tweezers help with the small parts.

Finished size: 5 x 13.75 x 6.75 in. Level: hard. Contains small parts, best for ages 14 and up.
