With his money you would think he could get more accurate replicas! 

Sc*ew the animatronics, order them from Charlie McGrady or the manufacturer that made the dinos for that Polish dinosaur park!

Great idea, terrible execution.

[Seijun]

Well, I guess they don't look as terrible as they could be...

Except that Charlie McGrady doesn't put feathers on his deinonychusaurs. Or on anything, really. If this guy had commissioned up-to-date, animatronic dinosaurs, well, I'd be shopping for tickets to Australia.

[ZoPteryx]

Is it just me, or does that T. rex look way too big to be life size?

[Takama]

No it looks huge.  I wonder if they will get the Spinosaurus Right size (something im sure he is going to make, thanks to bloody Jurrasic Park 3)

[tyrantqueen]

Regardless of whether McGrady puts feathers on his maniraptorans or not..I still think his work is amazingly life-like, and his colour schemes are lovely too.

Maybe it's because most of his work that is displayed is '90s era stuff, which would explain the lack of feathers? Or does he have a personal objection to feathering his work?

[jaredasaurusrex21]

yeah i have a link, http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/04/02/clive-palmer-australian-billionaire-jurassic-park_n_2997159.html
he is also building a replica of the titanic cruise ship http://www.cruise.co.uk/
this guy has too much money and too much time on his hands. 

[Simon]

Well, its his money to spend as he sees fit; he'll be employing a lot of people and feeding their families with these two projects.  The Titanic II is probably going to be profitable - if the reviews are positive ... a little eerie, however ...

Quite so! His Parasaurolophus is a personal favorite Are they really that old? The ones I've seen are so accurate (aside from the feathers) and vibrant that I'd assumed they were recent work.

This is my 1:2 scale Velociraptor sculpted by Charlie McGrady, he has sculpted some really nice feathers on this one

[Patrx]

Wow! I'd seen that before, but initially assumed you'd added the feathers yourself.

[Brontozaurus]

As an inhabitant of the same continent as Clive Palmer I can tell you that the guy is a fruitloop. In addition to this, he's also funding 'Titanic II' (which is exactly what you think it is), and has claimed that the Australian Greens party is part of a conspiracy run by the CIA to destroy Australia. Owing to this I have no plans to visit his dinosaur park.

[CityRaptor]

Sometimes it is the crazy things that work.

Those look pretty 90s and oversized, as others already pointed out, but not bad. Even if I have seen better.
Might visit there if I ever come to Australia.

Anyone knows how mobile these will be?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's a shame with so much money he went to China for his dinos..would have been much better off hiring some  local artists...there isn't anything really great about those other than they are dinosaurs.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

It might be only a guess, but the second Titanic is also being built in China, which suggests a common thread or reason why the dinosaurs might have come from there as well......it would also likely be a massive undertaking using quite a bit of steel.

[Crackington]

Let's hope it doesn't go near any icebergs on the way to Australia!

Heres what i think

The guy is rich, yet he shops cheap from China.   China is cheap, people love cheap. China dont care if there dinos are terrible, cuz they get money from chepos like this guy, who might of just watched Jurrasic Park, and decided to make it a real place, not careing if the dinos are acurate or not, because he wants to buy them cheap.

Kind of like MR Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants
