Title: World's Largest Model Airport
Post by: achtung on May 12, 2011, 01:48:47 am
Not as lame as it might sound at first. (http://singularityhub.com/2011/05/11/worlds-largest-model-airport-completed-in-hamburg-germany-150-square-meters-costing-4-8-million/)

I'm loving the planes and the "fire" scenario that is described.

It's rumored that al-Qaida has acquired a Godzilla costume and plans to attack Miniatur Wunderland. :shaking:

Holy crap...I've seen my share of model railway displays and miniature landscapes, but never anything near that scale.  :eek:

Heh, I was reading the article expecting to find it was built for doing efficiency studies, tests or something, not for the lulz.

I don't know, it looks to be somewhere around HO... maybe N... and those are among the most popular scales so, you must have had a fairly skewed exposure.

Now all we need is flying planes.
