This thing took 6 years and 3.5 million euros to finish. Pretty cool but WTF.

I'm guessing it is not finished, but that wooden frame with the notch cut in it for the metal rods to pass, seems pretty useless in the grand scheme of things.

Edit: Just glanced at some of their other videos, the one in the OP while nicely edited doesn't do the entire project justice. The entire thing is actually amazing imo.

i never understand when people say something like this.
the miniatur wunderland is obviously a comercial enterprise. they probably made a business plan and thought about whether or not it is worth it to invest the money they did.

i havent been there yet but i hear the place is packed on weekends. therefore i assume that it was probably worth it to spend the money.

There are obviously people into this stuff and they would happily pay 12 euro to see this. This is the pinnacle of miniature fetishism

seems like the youtube video's don't do the scale of the setup justice, looking at the numbers posted it seems it's absolutely massive
