"As CBS2′s Amy Johnson reports, Anthony Toth has been working on a life-size model plane for about 35 years, moving it from place to place before finally having it settle into a 3000 square-foot warehouse." My, my, who says a liberal arts education requires ANY math at all. Now class, exactly how many 'life-size' 747s will fit into a 10 by 30 foot warehouse?

He needs to round up an appropriate bevy of stewardesses to man the thing.

Tomkinson: Its a full-scale model, sir.

Mr. Ellis: [annoyed] Its not a model if its full-scale, Tomkinson, it’s an icebreaker.

So, a ride on an airplane “changed his life forever”? He just may have issues that need professional analysis. Just sayin’.

First time I ever flew by myself was age 13 on a 747. Apart from takeoff and landing I spent the entire time on the upper deck. Coolest thing ever for a punk kid!

Toth, who works at United Airlines in the passenger sales division, says he’s spent his weekends and vacation days working on the replica 747

This guy is the definition of "busman's holiday'.

Is it safe to assume he has no wife?

If he “spared no expense”, why didn’t he just buy a real one?
