I mentioned the Victorian dinosaur models at Crystal Palace - not quite space monsters, but the way they thought they looked in the 19th century, they're pretty close!
Me too Tone. I particularly like the first shot of the two green monsters. I had to look these statues up on Wiki Andy. Fascinating stuff. I love the name they gave it all, Dinosaur Court and its a Grade 1 listed building now! I can see a trip with my Grandson coming on when he starts to discover the delights of dinosauria as well!
Fabulous new information Andy, a must-see when next time in London! On Wikipedia, there is a picture of a New Year's Eve's party thrown *inside* the mould for the Iguanodon, in 1853. That's pretty much the closest you'd ever want to get of a dinosaur!
They certainly look imposing to me :)
