"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah...)" Sorry, and old song (Duke Ellington, 1943) came to mind designing this model...

Anyway, "Motorized, Articulated T Rex(ish) Pin Walker" is yet another pin walker design, this time featuring an articulated T Rex styled body that swings from side to side as the model walks along. And while paleontologists around the world will tell you this model does not accurately represent the walking motion of a T Rex, I'm old enough to have actually seen one, and yes it does..., uhh, ok, well no I'm not and no it doesn't, but it was fun designing this model anyway.

Enjoy this project?

OK, the suggested videos that popped up after I watched the clip are... interesting.

I've got a spool of green filament and a grandson who's super into dinosaurs, so I guess I'd better get printing. Nice job as always, Greg!
