Ok, this is a completely different world of miniatures, but I'm sure a lot of you will like this.

Being from Hamburg, I've been there several times now. It's amazing! Haven't been there since they opened the airport and in the video I saw some details that I've never seen before. Think I've got to visit this place again.

If you ever find yourself in Hamburg with some time to kill, go visit it. Make sure to be there early or relatively late. Otherwise it'll be full of people. Last time I was there, we had limited tickets for a guest night. Only few people and the guys there explained everything in detail.

If you're into miniature world design, terrain building, model trains, ... you'll love the place.

That's the best model village I've ever heard of.

Britain has got Bekonscot and Bourton-on-the-Water but they aren't nearly as sophisticated.

I would highly recommend a visit as well! Do bring a couple of ours of time though, there are so many details to be found ... !

I remember that from one of James May's Toy Stories. Incredible attention to detail there. Also some err... interesting little scenes like a guy and a woman in a field and the woman is performing an act upon his person shall we say. Also a woman in a bikini who's car has broken down and she's bending over it.

There is quite a lot to be found, if you're a voyeurist. You can look inside bathrooms, brothels, etc. and there are lots of couples out in the open.

They encourage people to bring their cameras. I was there with my 250 mm lens a while ago. I can see if I can upload some pics. To be honest, a 300 mm lens would even be better for some of the places. You might just bring your binoculars ...

That was amazing. That adds a 3rd thing to do when i eventually get around to visiting Germany, right after Oktoberfest and Wacken open air festival.

Hoy gak! The attention to detail is amazing.
