I'm sure it will be when it's finished, or the modeler dies.

The temple was the Disney World of its day. They said that from a distance it looked like a snow covered mountain of gold.

Note this is the equivalent of a full-time job for 16+ years. About 20 hours per week for the 30 years it took to get to this stage. Great hobby for a retiree. Beautiful work.

12,000 hours making tiny people? Listening to Rush 3 hours a day I’m sure while doing it. Cool!

Hopefully he doesn’t have a hot-headed neighbor (just moved in from Rome) named Titus living next door...
