Yes. I agree.

Barney is very 'smooth' - having some scaleyness and more colour variation
will help that a lot.

Hmmm - maybe something more like a 'quad bike' that he can sit astride
with his tail able to swish back and forth to splatter people who get too
close behind him.

It's hard to imagine a T-Rex lying down - so sitting upright makes more
sense - but anything stuck behind his butt will obstruct his tail - so
something like a bike saddle is needed - then we don't want two wheeled
bikes because this is a karting game - but a quad bike would fit all those
constraints nicely.

Indeed.  Ideas are cheap - building models a good as the ones we've seen
takes lots of effort and talent,
