lawooten Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am saving up my pennies. Next to, the six foot fence. The place where you can pick up one of these beauties is on HYW 53/701 E. between Elizabethtown and White Lake in NC. Also to google it Latitude - 34.649070 degrees and Longitude - 78.547036 degrees. If I remember correctly they where not priced high like I thought they would be. If I remember correctly, around $300.00 and we spent $125.00 on the dragon. You cannot miss the place b/c it is the size of a Wal-Mart Parking lot if not bigger. I think I have pics of other things they have. If I do, I will post them also.

Shamalama Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Wow... do you think my neighbors would be freaked out if I put that in my front yard? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yes, please tell us where are these located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawooten Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Here are others they have. Both of these are taller then my husband at five foot 10 inches but I cannot remember how much more. I will be going back soon to get my daughter a dolphin for her yard and paint it too. Painting these are not so easy b/c the canvass they present is quite rough. I should have sanded some parts of them like the faces on the Indian and the wizard before I painted them but I know for the next time. That triceratops texture is cool b/c you have the folds and texture of the skin. I would love to paint that one. Oh I revised the first post up top to include the place that these statues can be found. The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jax Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Forget the Lions on either side you the driveway, I want 2 Triceratops. Too bad we could get a mold, I have some concrete in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love the dino's but that Gargoyle is awesome!! I would love to put something like that in my garden. I bet he would be a great deterrent to the critters, for a while anyway.

bj aurora Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hey LA, what is the name of this place? I LOVE the detail on the triceratops, but you mentioned dolphins so I am willing to drive up there with a credit card and pickup truck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the detail on the triceratops, but you mentioned dolphins so I am willing to drive up there with a credit card and pickup truck.... JB Aurora I am going to be going there within the week so how about if I get pics of dolphins and e mail them to you first to see if they have what you want? I forget the name of the place but I will get that to you also. I went on google earth and put in the GPS numbers I gave and you can see a lot of what they have from the road cameras on the google earth. But like I said I will get pics for you if you like and the sizes and prices if you would like also.
