I cut the pattern out of 1/8" baltic birch plywood. The pattern fits together with little notches that slide together and lock the different pieces in place. Each of the slots has a number and their is a corresponding number on a second piece that you slide it into. There are 42 different individual pieces in this project and it took me a little of 3 hours of cutting on the scroll saw.
The scrolling was pretty easy, with moderate challenge level on the pieces for the fee and for the arms and hands. It was a lot of fun to build it as I went and watch the progress as I cut out each additional piece.
I really enjoyed this project and the final product is great. I am going to be purchasing the book so that I can make the other dinosaurs and start my own museum. The other dinosaurs include.
Jobaria
Velociraptor
Stegosaurus
Pteranodon
