This is a fascinating thing… I don’t know which would be more obsessive, making it up/doing Tilt-Shift photogrpah etc. or actually building it. I hope, for everybody’s sake, that the Hamburgers responsible for this never meet up with the equally obsessed American artist David Beck, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Loer27MWTY (video does not do justice to the fascination of the MVSEVM, now in the second floor of DC’s National Portrait Gallery.) Thanks for the great post.

“And to make this little world go it takes a staff of 150+ and a control room that looks like something that James Bond or Bruce Lee is trying to sneak up on and destroy”

cept in those movies the guys watch the screens, not their cell phones. … *sigh * little do I know for saying that its actually streaming video to his cell phone of the monitors above him.

First thing I’m doing here is adding a little waldo or as they call it wally to the exhibit.
PS: Wanted to say good post!

If you don’t want to fly all the way to Germany, check out Northlandz in NJ. It’s not quite as big but it’s very impressive, plus they have an outdoor train ride and an amazing organ. I try to go there every few years.

i was there with my girlfriend, it’s really as awesome as it looks. the scenery has a lot of sneaky sexual humor in it, such as sunbathing beauties and peeping toms every once in a while.
