I wish I could afford them, too, but I buy them anyway!

Well, I'd like to show off an update on my collection:

I've moved my buildings to a different room in my house, and I've had to split the collection. So now we have Miniaturopolis:

And its pretentious, higher-average-income-per-capita twin, North Miniaturopolis.

Slightly clearer view of downtown Miniaturopolis:

And skyline view of same:

Wow beautiful! So is there a way to order them without the thing at the bottom that says which building it is or do the not have that option?

I love the Air Force Academy Chapel... Fantastic architecture...

Are you referring to the InFocusTech pewter replicas? I think not; They're just cast that way. Usually the InFocusTech trademark is also stamped onto a side... unless you're referring to that Jefferson Memorial up front, which was an actual souvenir.

I prefer to pack all my buildings together for a realistic city "look," which happens to hide most of the bases from view, but they do all have them.

I agree... one of America's best. Makes a good centerpiece!

I like the model of the SLC LDS Temple that is in Quartermilesidewalk's pics!

QuarterMileSidewalk · October 16th, 2009, 06:27 AM

It's easily the most detailed replica I have. Here's a couple of detail-ish shots I have:

Pianoscience · October 16th, 2009, 06:33 AM

Nice, looks pretty pricy though.

ChicagoFreak96 · October 17th, 2009, 12:09 AM

Yeah, that is my favorite LDS Temple. In fact, when I was in Salt Lake City back in June, I saw a replica just like that at the Museum of Church History's Gift Shop/Store! I think it was lik $139.99 or $135.99 or something like that...? Idk? It is a very great Temple/Building though yes!

QuarterMileSidewalk · October 17th, 2009, 11:09 AM

Mine was only about $80 from the Danbury Mint, when they had it available.

ausie · October 17th, 2009, 01:29 PM

@kevmr25, you forgot to fold the top of your icc model, at the top where the fins are, rei added a little bit extra so you can fold it over. great collection

WiGgLz01 · October 17th, 2009, 07:49 PM

Lol ausie I said the same thing a while ago xD!

Pianoscience · October 17th, 2009, 10:10 PM

$80 is still sorta a lot to cough up just for something that you will display around your house.

kevmr25 · October 18th, 2009, 05:18 PM

PianoScience- "$80 is still sorta a lot to cough up just for something that you will display around your house."

That's funny between me and Quartermile there are almost 5,000 dollars worth of stuff displayed on this thread.
