Building a model... good grief.

If you have enough spare time to search the internet for miniature airports/planes in order to find that clip, then I think we may know someone else with too much time on his hands!

And, those of us in this thread may qualify, too.

Although, in my defense, I was being highly productive just before I got here, and I intend to be highly productive once again as soon as I leave!

 

[OldSkool]

Yes. I'm multi-tasking right now. Eating supper, watching TV, and posting on this thread. Once I leave here I'll be back in the books getting ready to teach Backhoe 101 next week.
BTW, the minature is unbelieveable! Thanks for posting it Gary.

So this is what Gary's secret project has been. Al-Qaeda training videos?

Did i just see a Lincoln MKS in Germany?

That had to take time not only for the models but to get them moving and lights flashing... thanks for posting Gary...

Miniatur Wunderland (German for miniature wonderland) is a model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany and the largest of its kind in the world. As of January 2011, the railway consists of 12,000 metres (39,370 ft) of track in HO scale, divided into seven sections: Harz, the fictitious city of Knuffingen, the Alps and Austria, Hamburg, America, Scandinavia, and Switzerland. Of the 6,400 square metres (68,889 sq ft) of floorspace, the model takes 1,150 m[SUP]2[/SUP] (12,378 sq ft).[SUP][1][/SUP]
By 2020, the exhibit is expected to have reached its final construction phase, including at least a total of ten sections in a model area of over 2,300 m[SUP]2[/SUP] (24,757 sq ft).[SUP][1][/SUP] The next section covering an airport opened in May 2011. The exhibit includes 890 trains made up of over 11,000 carriages, 300,000 lights, 215,000 trees, and 200,000 human figurines. The creators will work on models of Italyand France now that the airport section is completed. The airport is named Knuffingen International Airport and is modeled after Hamburg International Airport. Possible future additions include Africa,England, or a futuristic landscape.[SUP][1]

Miniature wonderland is the LARGEST in the world. Would seem more appropriate if it was the smallest, right?
