Marmaduke the Tyrannosaurus rex has been two years in the making. The story goes back even further than that - almost 20 years in fact - to a time when this creature was nothing but a mad idea. But mad ideas, if they are pursued with a passion, can become reality, and this is the case with Marmaduke. Watch the video on how we built this amazing creature - the trials, the tribulations and the dead ends. There was indeed blood, toil, sweat and on occasion tears in the making of this dinosaur, and we now present him to you in all his palaeontological glory - check him out, and if you are nearby, come and pay him a visit - he says he won't eat you today.

And seeing that you are here, grab yourself a copy of our free colouring book, which is full of wonderful dinosaurs and other Mesozoic creatures for you to bring back to life.
