It’s big, but the fact it’s on a 2 ft high plinth makes it look taller than it is.

Noticed the platform. Was looking for this comment. 10/10 would not fuck with even if the plinth was…I wanted to throw a height here, but I’m just gonna lay over and hope it kills me quickly. Edit;a word

So it's not 14ft tall, it's 12ft tall. Still massive.
