The Steampunk Inventions Of R. Phinius Bodine

Whimiscal Mad Scientist and Inventor 

The Albertosaur  
Calgary, Alberta.

The dinosaur contains 686 parts salvaged in the fields of Alberta, from a scrap yard in Lavoie. 

Russell used traditional Alberta farm machinary to form the body parts of the dinosaur. He purposefully used materials that were related to the Alberta oil and farm industry.

75 million years ago Dinosaurs roamed the Alberta prairies where the Chinook centre now stands.

75 years ago farm and oil machinary were being used in the same location, Zeid brings the two together to present the Albertosuares.

We ran a competition to name it and the winner named it "Scraptor."

The legs are a front end loader bucket arms,
the tail is made out of springs from an oil derrick.

The spine is made out of plow shoes.

The tail is made out of springs from oil platforms.
