Miniatur wunderland is legit one of the coolest attractions I've ever seen. I spent like 2hrs there with a group then I came back alone the next day and was there for like 5hrs. Instead of a dad (don't have any kids AFAIK) I felt like a kid again, 100% worth the visit no matter your age

No age requirement for this one. If you dont find it cool you are weird. Its not even about trains as much as insane world modeling and detailing. Its just 3D art that also happens to have a bunch of moving stuff like trains, cars, ships, planes, etc
Skill issue, Elissa. Instead of old,I just feel jealous.
I'm with you guys. Model railroading rules.
Trains are the superior mode of transport and really cool, I don't feel old at all from seeing this
Superior in what way? Can’t ride a train down a stair case or backflip one off a ramp.
Not with that attitude, you can't.
Cog rails let you go up steep slopes, so in a way you could ride a train up a stair case.
That place is basically "model trains" on 11. Including flying and landing planes and huuuuge landscapes which mirror the real world in excruciating detail. It's like 3D miniature find Waldo on a Soccer-Field.
I've been there once. If we didn't have to do other things that day I would have stayed in there to closure time.
Don't forget the millennium falcon
Shinoda had Branded Gunpla kits like 20 years ago didn’t he?
One of the first things that drew me to them as a kid was the album art for Reanimation which basically has a custom Zaku on the front
Middle aged folks on a sightseeing trip in Hamburg, I guess they went up the Elbphilharmonie as well, given that both are in the HafenCity.
Good for them
Dude I fucking love model trains it's just one of those hobbies I never got into because it's so damn expensive and space consuming.
When the housing market crashes imma buy a big house with a big room just for model trains
Not necessarily just trains but I'd really like to get into model making. One of several hobbies I'd love to do but can't because I can't afford a fucking house. My eyes will probably be too shitty to do it by the time that happens.
Legos :(
So happy I managed to dodge model trains as a hobby, even while frequently visiting a hobby shop that sold them. I have waaaay too many expensive, nerdy hobbies as it is. Between gaming, watches, knives, camera gear and fountain pens, life’s expensive enough as it is :D
Trade fountain pens for Legos (and I guess lose the watches part, though I do appreciate em) and same.
I forgot LEGO; that’s also one of them :D
You should buy a Lamy Safari fountain pen and a Casio GW-M5610U if you’re ever inclined to try those hobbies ;-)
That place is bad ass I wish I could go! I follow them on Instagram they have a working miniature airport with planes that take off.
Is it just me or does this look a bit like the wolfenstein et map "rail gun?"\
edit: I had a closer look and it looks a bit less like it now
It reminds me of a TF2 map
Man....I grew up loving this band and Chester but with their choice of new vocalist has me shying away. She's done some fucked up shit. Doesn't help that Chester's kid came out with a letter about them :/
This posts has nothing to do with that.
Honestly, all I care about is the music and I think she sounds great. Didn't she leave scientology anyway? Who cares
Not saying what you should like or not, but she has come out with a statement about that whole ordeal.
And it's far less of a "big deal" than people make it out to be. Especially in comparison with the shit you normally hear about when it comes to celebreties.
What a non-statement by her lol
Funny how Lincoln Park fans have as poor taste in character and morals as they do in music, though!
Well someones feeling edgy today. XD
Well one of us likes Lincoln Park so I guess we're both edgy lol
So, there's a "No-Answer".
To asking what my beef was with Lincoln Park and their fans? I thought it was obvious, having a scientologist, rapist defending singer. Her statement didn't meaningful address any of the issues.
And even back when they came out, they had a white boy who couldn't rap and music that was shitty even by nu metal standards.
Wow, you really feel burned by someone, huh?
I feel like I clearly stated my issue with them, but throw out some more trite insults since you don't have a response to it
Because there's nothing to respond to. That can't be your serious reason for actively and negatively engaging in a post about a band looking at model trains.
Because, a woman not realizing the guy she's hanging with is a complete asshole, is pretty much a situation every woman has been in, at least once, in their life.
She found out and got the fuck away from him, what? 10 years ago? What more do you want?
And finding someone "bad at rapping" is a reason not to listen to a band, not a reason to hate them.
So I'm guessing there has to be another reason. Something you don't want to write out.
Because the reasons you gave a pretty stupid.
Lol
Lol, if you're referring to me, you're a bit off.
I just consume enough random media to have read the story. It's practically been unavoidable.
So what is your beef with Linkin Park and their fans?
Oh man, Chester's son has issues.
Quoting his instagram bio, "My father Chester Bennington did not die the way they said he did"
Really? I haven't heard anything about that.
now this is based
My mind wants to write an impromptu parody of one of their songs but about model trains; but I don't know enough about model trains to do so. 😔
