 That is pretty much what my results where when I did the same.

Although smaller in length, tyrex looks more powerfull than giganatosaurus. Especially as concerns the skull and the neck.

as far as muscularity in the neck area is concerned, there is a bit of artistic freedom here. allosaurus however was proven to have had exceptionally poweful musculature, indicated by the particular built of the processes in the posterior skull regions, in the neck-area, so I wouldn´t say that T. rex was necessarily more muscular than giganotosaurus, in which such features simply couldn´t be studied due to too fragmentary remains.
Also, this is the holotype of giganotosaurus, imagine something ~8% bigger. What I´m saying all the time is, that the holotype was already larger in lenght than T. rex.

No Tarbosaurus as it wold look exactly the same as T. rex, it would jsut be a bit smaller. you can´t distinguish their skulls unless you have both of them just next to each other.

I´m sorry, that skull got a bit too high, it should be slightly more elongated.

 Lycaon seems to be the master at making these comparrisons. Lycaon, do you think you could create a comparrison between a 6-7 metre reticulated python, a 10 metre retic python and a male leopard all on the same plane? I'd give it a go, but it seems to be hard to find a picture of a reticualted python stretched out long.

 Seems like there is no such phython. The only way I could imagine that to work is by using a pic that has a human for scale in it and information on how large the snake was, then scalign the leopard to the right size. i doubt that it´d be possible to have any proper photograpf of a retic stretched out. You wouldn´t see much on it anyway.
