3D Glasses

This spectacle could allow a lot of people to watch the same 3D movie at the same time. Provided if their eyes can reach both glasses.

Ascension

It’s not photoshopped, it’s a real building named as “Ascension”. It was built for the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, in order to spread the message of peace to the visitors, and I believe this gorgeous thing accomplished its mission.

Badminton Shuttlecock

Never thought it can be used this way.

Balloon Dog

I never knew that a balloon dog can be this gigantic. This charming piece is created by designer Jeff Koons between 1999-2000, and the size definitely didn’t stop my desire to bring it back to my house!

Basket Building

Looks exactly like a basket, except that it’s not used to carry sandwiches, but to house humans.

I seriously wonder if the value of money will get bigger with the size of the cash.

I don’t mind the cleaning, but I probably won’t sit beside the broom, judging from its placement.

Fantastic details and that’s gotta hurt, for sure!

Cottage Cheese Toss

This could definitely be the largest trophy that these players have ever won. Or it could just be an oversized inflatable cottage cheese cup.

Mother of Floppy Disks (take off spectacles).

Folding Table and Chairs

What makes these really impressive is the fact that they are greatly detailed! I tip my hat to the creator Robert Therrien.

A big fork made a big difference; what an affordable yet extremely viral advertisement!

Freshness Bags

The green leaves in the shiny bag just made the tree look entirely different from the others on the scene. Brilliant.

Giant Banana Peel

What a realistic banana peel! It was originally created for an eyewear advertisement, and I will say it is really effective, as every detail counts.

Giant Folder

Every computer user knows about this folder, and the pixelated edges are just awesome.

Giant Knife

You better don’t talk to him while he’s slicing something. Great details, and it looks really sharp!

Giant Tableware

“Sorry customer, no smaller tableware for you.” Okay, but these are just too precious to be used as tableware! Great work, Mads Lauritzen.

Giant Wood

I wonder how big her left arm is, but anyway, I love the texture, fits perfectly with the object.

This probably saved the hotel owner a lot of budget on advertising.

Holga Camera

That’s a huge Holga! I believe if the camera is equipped with the flash light, it could probably cause a person to go blind! Excellent one indeed.

Hong Kong Noodle

Best served while it’s hot! One more point for the tiny chillies, they’re just too real!

Match

This life-size epic match is in fact the creation of a project, “Macro” by Rómulo Celdrán – “Macro acts as a kind of traditional magnifying glass that draws us closer to the object worthy of observation even when we keep an appropriate distance in order to view it.”

Pen Cover

The detail (and bite marks!) is terrifying! You can compare its size to a regular human’s size here.

Color Paste

I intentionally showcased this photo with the sculptor sitting beside the stuff, or else it’s really unbelievable to gauge just how big this thing is!

McMuffin

I will probably go for it, if the McMuffin is as huge as this pack.

Mouse Trap

Instead of trapping the mouse, it’s more like for trapping a cat.

Could easily “chain” through the entire forest within hours.

Spoils

The only 2 differences with the real deal are, they are big, and they are amusing.

Thor’s Mighty Hammer

One of the best movie advertisement props I have ever seen, probably far more effective than those poster ads.

Throw Away Fix

“A conceptual work by Brett Oakes, confronts the viewer with a familiar object, a convenience item that has become an environmental inconvenience – the disposable coffee cup.”

Reflection

It could be really easy to go big just for creativity’s sake, but it takes a lot of intensive hard work to make it stand out, and this can be realized through the details that the sculptors have crafted into their sculptures. Bigger is surely better, but only if you focus on making the bigger object as real as possible, which needs more time and determination than you might think. But of course, don’t forget the amusement and all the fun from creating it!

If you spotted an oversized object, be sure to share it with us! Let’s help make it a fun day!
