John Deere came to us with a five-inch-tall cutaway oil filter and told us to go big. We gave them a 10-foot-tall, jaw-dropping oil-filter replica designed to be realistic, structurally sound, and with considerable storage space.

Using materials ranging from wood, sheet metal, cloth, and laminate, this behemoth included a custom-complete shipping crate for life on the road and never fails to draw a crowd when displayed.
