Balloonasaurus Rex

From Bob Strauss, About.com

Jeremy Telford, the "Balloon Guy," recently created a life-sized T. Rex skeleton out of 2,300 balloons, a week-long project that called on the talents of seven full-time balloon twisters (Jeremy and Kristin Telford, Timothy "Paco", Travis Hadley, Justin James, Brendan Rowlands, and Heather Jensen) and one paleontology student (Andrew Stanton). The giant Balloonosaur was built, bone by laborious bone, after the reconstructed skeleton of the world-famous Tyrannosaurus Sue. Here's a peek at how it was done.
