When we lived in 🇬🇧 my wife started a hobby making models. All hand made from balsa and clay mostly. She made lots of them usually on a 🇯🇵 theme.
Not pro level but I thought they were really good.

I did wonder about godzilla rock but it's trivial compared to the other loss so didn't ask. nice to see it survived. we saw it in 2016 and it looks like the same piece of fishing net is still there.
Video: Suzu City once had a rock that looked like Godzilla emerging from the sea. The Godzilla Rock survived last week's earthquake, but the ground around it has shifted up and out of the sea.
