Jurassic Park gate with T-Rex under construction

[Craftman]

Those small fires were tricky to make, but with time anything is possible!

 

[Craftman]

I then started with the sign part of the gate, totally ignoring the outline of the tabs I had done before and just cut what seemed right.
Like I said, I have never done anything like this before, trying to make a design, so it was a lot of trial and error!

 

[Craftman]

The result turned out ok! But I still needed to add...

 

[Craftman]

...the text itself. So many small tabs to fold...

 

[Craftman]

...but in the end it was worth it!

 

[Craftman]

Then "just" fold and glue some gate doors...

 

[Craftman]

...and add some hinges to them!

 

[Craftman]

After that, time to fold the edges of the background...

 

[Craftman]

...to make something for the glued-on toe to stand on that will make the picture I added of a T-Rex body look like it is coming out of the picture.

 

[Craftman]

Then glue it all together...

 

[Craftman]

...and add some printed plants to cover the base of the gate making it blend in more with the background.

 

[Craftman]

Then glue the head to the picture of the body!
Almost done!

 

[Craftman]

Last final things to do, glue the doors on their hinges....

 

[Craftman]

...add the small wheels to the gate doors as they appear in the movie....

 

[Craftman]

...and it´s DONE!
I love it!! Hope you all think it looks ok!

[Craftman]

...and from the left with flash, now hanging on my wall!

Last picture, this one is just to show scale, it´s hanging next to my previous craft of the M41-A Aliens gun that is in scale 1:1.

Alright!! Now I have a Jurassic Park gate! With a T-Rex!
See you on the next build!!

Hope you all think it looks ok!

No. It's far from looking "OK".

IT'S LOOKING GORGEOUS! AWESOME! Like a still from the movie, it could have served as teaser trailer for the movie! Really well done! Great job! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
