really rough wiki project page to just gather thoughts and links for now

Crazy giant t-rex skeleton

I had one of these as a kid (I liked dinosaurs a lot /vastunderstatement). Found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-6-0-tall-Wooden-T-Rex-Model/?ALLSTEPS on instructables and decided to build it.

Ended up spending ages thinking of how to make it cooler for EMFCamp and decided on Rosco Fluoro paints (from Flints) and UV lights.

Since it's going to be in a field, I've looked into waterproofing the wood. I might need epoxy paint as a base coat (and it comes in spray cans on ebay). I need a white base coat for the best UV light effects anyway.

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/
