Click image for more pics of the city

And then there’s the model of a Russion city, 1/6th scale.

    This is better than “standard” art – paintings and such. When was the last time sculpture make you smile? Very cool.

    Hmm, that jello San Francisco might make a great earthquake simulator!

    That’s nothing – The Panorama of the City of New York is a complete model of the city to scale, it’s the largest architectural model in existence.

    Small, picky point – and I could be wrong on this:

    The caption for the Russian City says the model is 1/6th scale. But if that tower the guy is holding was three times as big, it would be roughly as tall as the guy. Double that and it becomes 6 times as big as what he is holding (and twice as tall as the man himself). But doesn’t the structure look like a tower many, many stories high? Do the same for that bus in the foreground. Imagine it 6 X longer. Could he and 30 others get into it? Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you that the scale is incorrectly indicated as 1/6th scale.

    Tomorrow I shall pontificate upon lint extracted from my belly button.

    #5 I agree. A 1/6 scale person would be roughly 30 cm tall. The vehicles in the foreground are much smaller than that.
    Extracted in the morning or the evening?

    Strange. Nobody commented that this “Russion” city is clearly Moscow as the web page say too.

    They attempted to create Emeryville in Jell-o but found it too challenging to attempt to recreate the massive Dvorak mansion at 1/24th scale. Plus there was the problem of not being able to find Jell-o in the color of Ecru, Fushia and John’s personal favorite, Blort.

    No leather bars made of jello? No bathhouses made of jello? then it’s not SF.

    James, I thought that too but I didn’t want to go there.
