The "Click-Out" Art of Michael Johansson - Neatorama

Artist Michael Johansson makes full-sized objects that look like plastic click-out models. The dingy pictured above, entitled "Toys 'R' Us", is a 1:1 scale model made from functional boating equipment and a welded metal frame. Gallery at the link.

James May did a similar thing, but with the iconic Spitfire, on his BBC program "Toy Stories"

One improvement I might suggest... The surface should be a mottled mix of puke colors - like those found on the most obscure and geeky model kits.

That's superb - though the pedant in me would like to point out that you wouldn't get a double-walled hull like that on a single moulding - that's rather the point, it'd come on two sprues and be assembled by the modeller.
