Railway, railroad, airways… incredible world by Miniatur Wunderland.

After six years and over $4,440,000, the world’s largest model railroad now has the world’s largest model airport. The 1,600-square-foot addition is just the latest to Hamburg, Germany’s Miniatur Wunderland, which has plans to continue expanding until 2020.

The California artist Chris Burden may be in his 60s, but he is still playing with toys. The thing is, the older he gets the more outrageously complicated the toys become.

Two years ago he created a 65-foot Erector Set skyscraper that stood in Rockefeller Center, and in 2004 he made “Metropolis I,” composed of 80 Hot Wheels toy cars zooming around two single-lane highways along with monorail trains chugging on tracks of their own. The piece was snapped up by the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.

I am a happy owner of Lumix LX3, the older version of LX5 and I can say only superlatives for it. The LX5 has been released months ago, but this is the first time you can get it for just $269 with free shipping from Amazon. Sounds like a great deal, my question is… to upgrade or not to upgrade? -Quang-
