The skeleton was built using a 3D printer.

"All we're doing is creating a hypothetical facsimile of what it might look like to convey a notion of the dimensions," said Meldrum who has been studying the Bigfoot phenomenon for over 20 years.

"They gave us permission to do a 3-D scan on a Neanderthal skeleton they found. We compared that to the Patterson-Gimlin film. We had to widen the shoulders and increase the thickness in the torso. The hips are as wide as the shoulders; the body was built like a tank."
