We named it "Lance-a-saurus Rex" and he is now sitting at his new home in Northridge at Str8-Up Studios.

It was a bitch getting him from San Diego to Los Angeles. First, the body would not fit out of my backyard gate into the front yard, so we had to dismantle the backyard fence and carry it into the canyon behind my house. It took seven of us to move it, lift it over our heads and carry it into this ravine, then to the street, then around the block, DOWN A BUSY MAIN STREET, and onto my block to put in the moving van. The head was slightly easier. It also took seven of us to move, but it fit through the gate with no problem.

However, it took 4 1/2 hours to get to Los Angeles because we had to drive so damn slow. And if the truck I rented went over 55 mph, it would shake violently. The shaking caused pieces of plaster to flake and crack from the skull. Lance-a-Saurus will need some cosmetic touch-ups the day before shooting.

Nevertheless, he is at his new home and ready to be on camera. :-)
