The words 'too much time' come to mind but that is amazing. The amount of detail and patience and everything else that went into building it and getting it to work just right.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


What I want to know is... how did they make the water look so real??? (And how do they keep it from getting dusty and spoiling the illusion? In fact, who cleans it all???)

The water is usually done from underneath with aquarium equipment, pumps and filters.

Generally one of the things done to help keep dust down is a final clearcoat of dust repellent laquer and a good ventilation/filtration system, which if done right will prevent dust from accumulating.

I used to do six mm scale miniatures (epic scale warhammer 40k) and some N-scale train stuff, I've seen some N scale and Z scale layouts here in the states that while not comparable to that enormous set piece, are still quite beautiful and impressive - here's one built on a door, of all things.



Good stuff.

so do, " and a whole lotta bucks, deutschmarks or platinums."
I also model a bit , in HO and N scale, and I have seen Z scale models that would fit inside a coffee table or attache case. There's a ton of work and expense there, just in maintaining what they've got...

I used to have a z-scale. It's great stuff because you have to innovate. Grand plans, N works best
