Last summer I worked at a place called Stage One (google them) who make... well, 'stuff'. Sculpture, stage sets etc
These are some of the full-size dinosaurs from the Walking With Dinosaurs Live show. We didn't make the dinos, just the sets! Near the end of the job we were allowed to bring family and friends to have a look. The little sled underneath has the driver sitting in it - the other movements like mouth, breath (yep, they have dry-ice breath) etc are radio controlled. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of them without their 'skins' on; I wasn't really allowed in the hanger where they were kept!
This is a giant foam head (duh). It was for a Motorola expo I think. We took it outside and cut the foam away, leaving just the metal coil shape, which was painted. I stopped working there before it was finished so I don't know what it looked like when it was done.
I don't have any photos of this under construction, but it was MASSIVE and incredibly heavy - I think each piece weighed about 750kg. It was also a complete sod to paint, as the pieces were too big to fit into the paint booths. It's now in the garden of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
