Ron Mueck
The Washington Post posted a gallery of images from an absolutely amazing sculpture, Ron Mueck. His work are of hyper-realistic humans, at times nude, and the sculptures are often enormous in size. Note the size of the gallery guests compared to the enormity of the sculpture of the boy!
There is a book of his work and plenty of great images on Google. Potentially a great reference for modelers, artists and sculptors as well as a unique body of artistic work.
I hopw to see his work in person some day soon!
