Building a dinosaur

I don't know how it happened. One moment I was sorting out the spare bedroom, the next I was making a dinosaur. And that's not as easy it sounds.
With fifty-one pieces and only the picture on the box to work from it was probably always a silly idea. Yet ...

Almost there! But he doesn't look quite like the picture, does he?


When I finally got all the bits in the right order facing the right way ... he wouldn't stand up on his own at all. I needed an engineer. 'Husband!'

But he couldn't fix it either. We have settled on the excuse that it is a flimsy design - and nothing to do with any little bits I might have put in the wrong way around. It couldn't possibly be my fault.

Look no hands! Almost.

It looks like a challenge!

Your's looked a lot more argumentative!

It was a challenge, and I suspect he's had a drop too much to drink at the disco and is ready to fight or fall down.
