I found out that you can print multi-page images with Paint (Go Windows!) and copy PDF pages using Foxit PDF viewer. I've managed to put together 2 of the 13 pages required so far and taped together the tail piece (which is about as long as I am tall). http://www.flickr.com/photos/fishies_go_pook/7575690972/ | I found out that you can print multi-page images with Paint (Go Windows!) and copy PDF pages using Foxit PDF viewer.

Since building everything (cutting out the pieces took under a week thanks to help from my husband, Sully, with cutting out some of the pieces), i think i may have scaled it a bit wrong... 6ft t-rex is not 6ft tall. More like 5ft tall, so a little shorter than myself. It's at least 6ft long so I'll keep the name anyway... | |||
I've also been rethinking the painting and considering going for glow in the dark spray paint - this will glow if we have normal sunshine and also glow under UV light for evening effects. | |||
