Anatomically correct teddy-bear?  LOL

All those are pretty creative - I didn't know there were so many out there. The old MassCar club logo was a parts tree too ( I don't have it handy). Then there is

Here's one of the most famous. The 1:1 scale AIRFIX Spitfire built for the TV show "James May's Toy Stories" back in 2009. The Spit is still on display in the U.K., I believe.  That pilot figure was sculpted to resemble...James May!

 You can easily find links to the show if you've never seen it.  It was both sad and funny when May talked to modern kids about the founder of AIRFIX; how he believed building replicas would encourage kids to learn about the real things. One kid asked:  "Was he mental?"

I remember seeing that show. I really liked the bit where James had gotten a school class to build a tank model each. Most of them had gotten a lot of help from dad and they thought it to be fun when May wanted them to destroy them in a mini-battle. All except for one kid that is, he had built his tank with pride and wanted to keep it. So there was at least one potential modelbuilder in the group
