Galleries
For the time being the only published galleries are those which we have gathered for our research purposes. However, just as soon as we have some more exciting images of the model itself under construction we shall of course publish these too.

Model of the Paris Opera
Probably the largest and most intricate model of an opera house ever built. Sadly though, it has no mechanics or lighting and is intended to be anything other than a very beautiful architectural model.
