I put this in the PUB, but I thought this was too good not to show everyone. Also, it is the offseason. What else can we talk about?

Stinkin' impressive. Wonder how they'll hold up in the weather (not that that would negate the awesome factor)

Not sure. This was found on Facebook. It has 25 people tagged to the original photo. If you really want one, I could send you the photo on Facebook and you can try to hunt down the builder. There is one guy in Syracuse NY that has this picture as a profile picture. He maybe a good start.

I think it's made by an Australian sculptor James Corbett.

Great work!!!

I wonder how much he would sell something like this. My guess it is more than most people make in a year.

Looks pretty cool, but I think Corbett is head and shoulders above this guy.

Probably true. He seems famous, and Martinez is somebody that I just described as "a guy in Tampa". But I like his stuff nonetheless.

There is also a guy in Fernandina that does the same thing. I can't remember the name of the store, but it's near the Palace saloon.

They look like something out of the Terminator movies. I can totally see them on each side of Arnold.

Even though the artist is from Australia, they actually look more like alligators than crocs. I wonder how much those sculptures weigh? Here's a fun fact...south florida is the only place on earth where both crocs and alligators coexist. Crocs are making a comeback down here, I have seen several when fishing in Flamingo and even one as far north as Key Biscayne.

The potential is there for them to be future contestants on the "Robot Combat League"
showing on the Sci-Fi network!

I'd move my car out of the garage for one of these. My wife just said I cant move hers out though. :)

Turn her car into one of those. I'm sure she would love that. :P
