Fire Breathing Dragon

OK, maybe it didn't breath fire, but this wasn't your average stuffed animal.  This dragon from FAO -Schwartz had a 12' wingspan!  She stood proudly over the main entrance for years until a buyer with a good home (and high ceilings) came along. 

When it came time to send her to her new home in Florida, we got the call.  Along with the dragon went the rock formation it was mounted on, a bear, kangaroo, lion, deer and dog.

Without the rock, the dragon just wanted to slump over so we needed to prop her up with some wood framework for the trip.  Laying her down may have distorted the internal framework sacrificing the shape of the dragon.

The rock formation and bear were secured to a custom pallet and heat shrinked.  The other animals were placed around the dragon filling out the pallet.  The pallets were then shipped to one of our offices in Florida to perform the final delivery to the residence.
