Bruce is right, but it is still cool.

The sculpture was unveiled in 2010 and aims to create a futuristic vision rather than a being a literal depiction of the areas past.

The future is the surrounding industrial stacks are going to keel over and stick their head in the sand?

The sculpture is 16 metres long and is a realistic brick design which was carved in polystyrene, then coated in 6mm of Armour-Lyte for durability and strength, before being hand painted by Theatre Company Steel Monkey and being lifted into position by crane.

Had a hard time finding Armour-Lyte because that's also the name of a sports drink.

Price ain't bad for the kick, but....

Out in Oregon, it looks terrible at first but it's body parts, no chassis, no grease/oil, so all it's adding to the water is iron/rust and lacquer that's thoroughly outgassed. I wonder how many were pulled out for WW II scrap drives?

That pic at the lower right corner . . . the camper/truck-limo combo monstrosity.

1. Why? WHY? Who is going to go camping in that ridiculous thing? You'll never find a KOA camping space big enough to hold it, and you're sure as hell not going off-road/four-wheeling in it.

2. That abomination is either a "cammo" or a "limper." Imma go with item the second, because it's as lame as it could possibly be.

Clearly, some people got too much damned time AND money. And not a goddamned brain in their heads.
