Sure, you’re never going to meet a real T-Rex. We can’t argue with that. But don’t get all deflated about it. World Balloon Modeling champion Mark Verge has you covered.

In the latest installment of “The Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Made,” Verge describes his passion for building larger-than-life balloon sculptures, including his very impressive Balloon T-Rex. The enormous dinosaur is designed with incredible attention to detail, from the teeth and ribs to its long tail.

Requiring over 1,400 balloons and hundreds of hours to construct, Verge needs to work quickly. It won’t be long before this T-Rex deflates to extinction.
