Blade-of-the-Moon's Art

A Marine Reptile Exhibition could be great.
Just an idea (you have probably already considered it):







By Julio Lacerda.

In my opinion, and seeing your talent, you could make a really interesting "fake" aquarium. Playing with light and darkness, fluorescent lights...  If you made different tanks for different species, you wouldn't even have to build the entire animal (when it is too big), only what people can see through the windows.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Interesting...reminds me of a coral reef. I've been to Nashville but never there. 

I do think we can simulate water effects..like with this device :

How much do they cost?

Do you have a tree that is tall enough to help support the neck and head from above with steel cable?

No not where it's going I'm afraid.  If we had a really large tree there it would also need to be removed s oit didn't fall on the dino at some point. I have a few harassing my T-Rex now I need someone to climb and cut for me.

How about an aquarium where the mosasaur or as I'd prefer it 3 or 4 ichthyosaurs are attacking the walls of the tank, a red flashing light in the corridor and flickering lights inside the tank could limit the view of the models and the models movements making it seem more menacing. You could use some lever driven triggers in the floor to trigger bass drum pedal style hammers to rattle plywood walls to make it seem like they are being rammed.  What would be awesome is some water effects like water dripping from the ceiling of streams of water shooting from the edges of portholes. It could be amazing, but it would be so much work.

That would be a neat idea and certainly possible if we had enough money for it..I know exactly how to do each of those effects..our budget is just so low it's annoying !

They ballpark around 100.00 but I happen to have two of them I acquired in a trade with another haunter last month.

Very nice idea! That surely is going to be a really neat project, I think. The Natural History Museum here in Vienna has one of those devices, I think, in one of their cabinet dioramas. It sure does look very real!

It's a great effect..only wish I had them when we did our pirate themed haunted attraction.

Cannibal Carnotaurus :



We're planning to remove that wall to the left when the Trike is done, then we'll have a better view of the Trike VS Rex scene.

Cool! Never saw the Carnotaurus. 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Cool! Never saw the Carnotaurus. 

Thanks ! We used to have two of them...

What happened to the other one?

If you look closely in the photo you can tell

That Carny doesn't strike me as much of a team player!

Not at all ! lol

We thought they were getting along , that we might have even have a mated pair..turns out the male there only had one thing on his mind and it wasn't the obvious answer. Oyi.

1:1 Triceratops progress. Still looking for donations to finish this big beast !

[Zhuchengotyrant]

Beautiful Already!

[SpittersForEver]

Look at those horns!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I do think he's more than a match for Stan now. Honestly I never thought of Triceratops being so overwhelmingly MASSIVE.  A T-Rex that attacked a healthy individual had to be suicidal.

A neat little song keeps going through my head :
" ( chorus)Big and powerful he fills his foes with dread. Triceratops he carries all his weapons on his head. He has one horn above each eye and one horn on his nose, his shield he takes upon his shoulders everywhere he goes. (chorus) He doesn't hunt he just eats plants but still a fearsome sight. Ferocious carnivores would even think before a bite. "

Had a lot of fun last night during Dino  Park in the Dark!
