It takes a while to get everything developed and organised for an exhibition like this and we are going to be really busy over the next couple of months. So sorry Thomas - you won't be able to see it in early October, but I hope you can get to Wellington to see the colossal squid another time. Hi Thomas and Lee

Along with other's at Human Dynamo Modelmaking Ltd I appreciate the opportunity of creating the specimen models of Whales and Dolphins also the big Blue Whales heart that children could crawl into. The Proverb Tere tohora, tere tangata - Where whales journey, people follow. Is very appropriate as me interest in Whales continues. Thank you Te Papa.
