My brother hatched an idea that we should put a plesiosaur out in our swampland next to the road. I thought this a good idea. So while I brought home my tractor and cut a path down to the floating bog of a swamp for access, my brother chased off to the plasma table and created a half-size art study. Upon assembly of the art study, it was realized we needed to add more vertebrae and detail to the head and teeth for the full-size version. As I type my brother is cutting the full-size version out of a pair of 4x8' 5/16" plate stock. We estimate that the full-size plesiosaur will weigh around 800 pounds and since none of us know how deep our floating bog swamp is, we're going to pound in a pair of 10' 3x6" square tubing to support the plesiosaur in two places as soon as our swamp freezes over within the next four or five weeks. Right now I think the original wooden cutout model my brother cribbed off of has the front flippers flipped forward so the model would sit flat on a shelf rather than tipping forward. Since this will be supported on a pole or poles, we can have ours be correct.
