Craig Dinosaurs ARE my cup of tea and you've ingeniously captured the majesty of these "thunder lizards". I like your imaginative use of parts and colours. Oh and very Stravinskyesque. The stegosaurus is especially inspirational... Henry (26 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)
