This could be the perfect gift for someone who has everything, because they wont have one of these! I make these and other garden ornaments in my spare time. This auction is for one T-Rex hatchling, hand crafted and made to last in solid concrete. They are approximately 10kg in weight.

This is a Sculpture I made about a year ago when a friend asked if I would make a set of 3 eggs so she could take her grandchild on a dinosaur hunt for his birthday. Eggs were a bit boring (from my perspective ;), hatching eggs far more exciting to create! Since then, they’ve become quite popular, popping up in all sorts of places!

I only have a few of the mostly hatched one left at the moment. If you would like the full set of 3 hatchlings as pictured in the last photo, let me know, they are available for $160, but take a month to make as the concrete needs to cure first.

There’s nothing more satisfying than captivating a child’s imagination and love of the outdoors! Admittedly, there were times I walked into my workshop to find several T-rex staring back at me as if I’d interrupted their gathering - so I’m sure there’s some truth that these creatures actually come to life at night ;-)

I sculpt the original out of clay, then once I’m satisfied with it, I make a mould using rubber and fibreglass allowing me to cast the finished creation in concrete for a permanent piece.

The concrete is sealed to protect the concrete from grime and to last in outdoor conditions. Gentle washing is all that’s required, or let it age naturally. Waterblasting will damage the fine details in the cement so definitely not recommended. Please check out my other listings, I’ll be adding a few more unique concrete sculptures I’ve created over the next few weeks.

Pick up preferred, however I can deliver within Auckland for fuel costs (please ask first before bidding) otherwise, I could ship at your risk and expense if required. Questions welcome. Pick up is in Ranui, approximately 10 minutes from Lincoln Road off-ramp
