That's pretty cool, a 1:1 scale model.

And look they're using FRP. After they tear it down, you can his head on your car as a splitter.

The statue will be free for viewing, but it will only stay up for two months. It will be built with fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) over a steel frame so it can be disassembled later.
