It might look like something from a movie, but your eyes don't deceive you - Godzilla and Kong are lurking in London.
Godzilla’s bristling pink spikes, brimming with atomic power, were seen poking up from the river Thames next to Kong's giant hand, crushing an iconic London red phone box on Southbank. The giant titan’s spine stretches an impressive 65 feet, the length of a tennis court. Kong's hand is a mammoth 16 feet tall, with a head seven metres in diameter – 45 times that of a human.
The sculptures were fabricated from 3D references from the filmmakers, built in a combination of poly, fibreglass and steel framework, as well as interactive lighting. Godzilla contains over 70 individual pulsing pink lights to achieve the atomic effect, a spectacular addition in the new film, which sees him team up with Kong as a greater threat to earth materialises. Kong is covered in over 30 metres of fur, to create a hyper-realistic finish.
