Prehistoric Fun for the Entire Family!

Now you can build fascinating dinosaur models-just like those sold in museums-from a piece of plywood. Make Your Own Model Dinosaurs shows how even beginners can use the scroll saw to form puzzle pieces for seven different three-dimensional dinosaurs.

Inside, you will find:
- Scroll saw basics, including lessons on various types of wood and safety concerns
- Step-by-step instructions and a full-size pattern for the Tyrannosaurus Rex
- Full-size patterns for six other dinosaurs: Velociraptor, Pteranondon, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Jobaria, and Spinosaurus
- "Dinosaur Fact Files" with interesting trivia facts about each of the seven dinosaurs

Once you have produced wooden pieces using the scroll saw, you can share the fun by building your dinosaur with friends and family. The interlocking pieces of each full-size dinosaur pattern fit together to create a 26" x 40" dinosaur model-or scale the patterns to your liking, from tabletop to life-size!
