King Kong nerd trivia of the day

This is a stop motion puppet of an Arsinotherium, a prehistoric mammal. The puppet was created for a projected called Creation, which was essentially abandoned for Kong.

Here's the same model on one of the Kong sets, which shows how deep these miniature sets were.

How do we know this was a Kong set?

Note the peg holes on the ground so the puppet's feet could be tied down into the floor.

Many of the puppets made for Creation like the T rex, Pteranodon, Brontosaurus and the Stegosaurus above were essentially then used for Kong.

Pretty cool!

T rex and Mosasaur prints!

Some of you five have asked me from time to time about my old Age of Reptiles prints, and while I am out of them myself, here's a link to Stuart Ng, who has a few for sale.

Good luck!

Maybe one of you five is sitting out there looking at this blog and you do not believe that you can live out your dreams.  I don't agree, you can live out your dreams. 

Watch below, with the caveat that I do not usually watch these type of shows, or much television in general.

You can do it, believe in yourself:

Roy Chapman Andrews and Kaiju suits

When I was a child, I read a book about dinosaurs that had this interesting paleontologist that went to Mongolia and brought back many fossil treasures. He was an adventurer, Indiana Jones before Indian Jones, and he made me want to be a paleontologist for a while, until I figured out that it looks pretty hot in Mongolia. The guy always seemed to have a fossil in one hand and a gun in the other:

Then I got a little older and around fifth grade thought it would be even cooler to be one of the guys that wore the suits in Godzilla movies and got to stomp a miniature city to pieces :)

Now I'm fifty-one, and think that it must get pretty hot in those suits!
