3D Metal Dinosaurs! (3 to choose from)

Just cut out a model in 12 gauge; this is for anyone that wants a much smaller and easier project to handle.

Light enough to hang, or perfect to place on a stand of your own design.

Here's what I did with my own kit I cut for myself -





The smaller 12 gauge model shown here will only be available on special request.

 

No need to lay the parts out, but here's all you'll get with the kit -



Bags are labeled for convenience.

Step 1A - assemble the skull as shown, weld on the back and/or bottom if you wish to hide your welds



Step 1B - affix the spine to the skull assembly doing the same to hide your welds on the backside or underneath



Step 1C - complete the rib cage and take note to begin on the second slot; the first slot is used for the wing assembly



Step 2A - begin your leg assembly by attaching the 'feet' here



Step 2B - complete the pelvis and attach it to your assembly from step 1



Step 3A - begin your wing assembly with these parts, note their orientation



Step 3B - add the following joints, ensuring correct orientation (use above model for an example)



Step 3C - complete wing assembly, again taking note of where you place your welds if you wish to hide them



Step 4 - attach the wing assembly using the only vacant spot on the spine



Enjoy your cool new piece!

 

The velociraptor’s first day at work

seriously, this is absolutely beautiful! It’s going home tonight.
Thanks @Kwikvette

 

Shop feels empty without him

But glad it's going to a good home!

 

These are super cool! But I do have one question....

...WHAT KIND OF DOG DO YOU HAVE?!

 

Hey, we're all-inclusive here!

Biscuit is a picky child and doesn't care for dog food much, but eats plenty of grass

And Bronx, well...he's pretty quick to try anything

Here she is antagonizing him



Have to say, I do have one 12 gauge Pterodactyl kit boxed up and ready to ship!

 

If I ever make room, I’ll definitely take one
Even the 12 gauge is bigger than my dogs, so probably not much to worry about….

 

I looked and either I'm blind, could be, or I missed it. Do you ship the largest Dino kit? If so, how much does that run? If I missed it, I apologize, but atleast it's a free bump

 

PM coming

 

I don't have a cost mentioned for a large unwelded dino, as I figured it could take 2 packages or so to ship out.

With that said, I have shipped some larger, flat signs so it could work where I would send 2-3 large pieces as one packaged, and the remainder in a box.

The large dino kit is $265, so whatever shipping is I would split the cost with ya 50/50.

For anyone watching this, medium dino's will ship free this month.

 

Replied!

 

Thank you for the info, and the nice offer. Now I have a decision to make

 

Of course!

I do already have a "tail" for the large dino cut as I don't like to waste metal and sometimes cut extra pieces. The tail and I believe the spine are the largest pieces, so if everything else can fit into a box (without being too big) it should work out pretty well.

 

HUGE update to the original post

Supplier issues forcing me to go to 11 gauge (1/8")

Refer to the first page!

 

Appreciate everyone's orders!

Two shipped out last week, two shipping today, and last one shipping out in a day or two.



Any more future orders will be delayed due to weekend plans so happy I was able to get these all done before this weekend

 

With more and more of these being sold as a kit, I thought I'd add some visuals outside of the assembly instructions I PM everyone.

For the front claws, this is the arrangement I found that works best but really you can swap the outside claw for the inside and vice versa if you wanted



Also, the only pieces that are really side-specific are the legs and feet shown here





Hope that helps!
