• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Incredible!

The Germans are world reknown at creating the coolest creations of toys and miniatures....

Salute!
 
The finished version looks incredible with night lighting and all. They also covered that hole that planes are taking off into with a curtain with clouds painted on so they just disappear.

Awesome! 150 square meters of model airport.

Here's another movie with night theme during test phase:

If you ever get to Hamburg you should visit this place! The airport is just one small part of what is likely the world's grandest model railway. Look at all those grown men grinning like little boys...
