QuarterMileSidewalk · December 13th, 2009, 05:10 AM

ausie, was that a little Q1 in front of your Burj Al Arab?

If so, how can I get one (without the help of Qantas)?

ausie · December 13th, 2009, 05:22 AM

^ yes, that is a little q1, i got it from the actual building itself but i heard you can purchase it from their website, just google it, you may be able to find one on ebay. i bought a model of the jin mao tower today for $15 dolars AU, which is pretty good, its a solid stelll model. looks very good, i'll try to get some pics soon

As promised, I have an update on my collection, featuring Hong Kong's own ICC, courtesy of my new Samsung SL620 12.2 megapixel camera! Merry Christmas, collectors! (My apologies to those with slower systems: I've posted 21 photos today...)

My entire mini-building collection, and my architecture book collection:

Downtown closeup:

Full Miniaturopolis skyline:

More Downtown:

More Downtown, with Burj Dubai:

South Side towers:

a little hometown shout-out:

Battery Park City closeup:

Danbury Mint ESB and Willis (SEARS!) Tower:

DM WTC:

DM Salt Lake LDS Temple:

Minas Tirith, by Weta Workshop (Geekitecture!):

DM Pentagon:

DM US Capitol:

Danbury Mint collection overview:

Miniaturopolis overview:

More Downtown:

More south side:

North Side:
(That gold Eiffel Tower is the first Miniature building I ever bought; it's from an antique shop in Los Alamos, Santa Barbara county, California. I did get another one when I actually went to Paris, though; It's hiding behind that LEGO homage to Phoenix's Chase Tower.)

Downtown with Burj Dubai...:

... and without it (it's not glued together):

I think I like the shape of the skyline better without the Burj.

Thanks, I do have quite a few more of them, but they've been disassembled and stored for a while. I should get them back out.
