Make-a-saurus: My Life with Raptors and Other Dinosaurs »

Brian Cooley, one of the world's top dinosaur sculptors, developed a love of dinosaurs as a kid. He has been producing dinosaur models professionally for 17 years, and to date his work has appeared on the covers of two issues of National Geographic. He has produced more that 30 models, many of which have toured the United States and Canada or are part of permanent displays at such institutions as the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Alberta.

A professional dinosaur sculptor shows how he creates life-like models using the best available data from paleontology, and in a special section adapts his work to show kids how to make a model dinosaur using inexpensive, easy to find materials.
