Brian and list,
Yes, I remember that dino....

Actually the dino project that was done at Hasbro was initiated by myself.
That project was a small 1/6 scale of the Triceratops mount that stands in
the Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. The SL model placed second
in the 2000 NASUG excellence awards competition.

This morning Shared Replicators, Inc (SRI) in Tulsa, OK will unveil a full
size skull and lower jaw of that same Triceratops. These SL models were
built on the first fractionally owned SLA-7000 at SRI. These models are a
technology demonstration and will be used by the Smithsonian's preparators
as a mold patterns. The digital data was scaled up 15% so that the final
skull and jaw used for the mount will match the age of the dinosaur.

Press conferences are scheduled for both the unveiling here at SRI as well
as at the Smithsonian on Tuesday 8/22 when the model is delivered. Details
and photos about this project will be available at our website in the near
future.

I have digital pics of the model if anyone is interested...

Regards,
Jason

I think Hasbro did a dinosaur for a museum project, don't know how big that
was. Steve Deak, are you out there?

    Wow, that's almost three months of just fabbing time!
