A metal workshop in Thailand is creating beautiful sculptures out of nothing but scrap.
The studio’s group of metalworkers, led by sculptor Phairote, has previously created art for European leaders and Saudi royalty. However, the shop has also shown a propensity for creating pieces based on famous films such as those from Marvel, Disney, and others.
One of the studio’s centerpieces is a statue of The Incredible Hulk that comes in at a whopping height of nearly 7 feet.
