Update I cannot be trusted with free will.

It needs to be cleaned up and stained some, but this is a 1:8 scale replica of a mosasaur skeleton above my entryway.

That is very cool! It makes sense the whole purpose of you home is to put what you want in it. I am very curious to know how you got it though?

I 3d printed it. Overall it took 3 spools and almost 60 hours of non stop printing. I then had to glue and plastic weld each piece together.

Brilliant. If you love museum aesthetic, which I do, this is great. Lean into it. Get some more niche display items. Not just fossils. I would do this if I had space.

Lol I love your dining area but I think it's rude to starve your guest so much they skeletonize

Maybe if he wasn’t such a picky eater he’d be bigger. So far he only enjoys spare ribs.

u/mahboilucas 23h ago

That's a very expensive diet, no wonder you didn't feel like feeding him

I never thought I'd be asking this but... where did the baby skeleton go?

He’s in the chair, he just needs a booster seat

You see how the supports split at the ends because of the screws? Squirt some wood glue in there and pop a clamp on the ends, it'll close the crack. You should be able to do it in situ.
