@Nezchan @Cassandra Growing up watching the animated show ReBoot will do that to you (me)

I didn't! I just love miniatures and ... upcycling.

If this is going to be a ReBoot thread, for the love of god delete me from it. 😆 That animation freaks me the fuck out.

@Nezchan but this kind of mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities

The bus system can provide 64 spots every nanosecond? It's too efficient!

@Nezchan this is amazing, so many little details cleverly thought out

@Nezchan Additional detailed viewing angles of that model: miniature-calendar.com/231021

On that page, there's also an archive of almost 5000 other miniatures by the same artist!

@lenaschimmel @Nezchan These are cute!! But I didn't find any larger prints unfortunately, although there are exhibitions?

I wish there were. Some of their creations are amazing.

@Nezchan @lenaschimmel Absolutely, and while the calendars are beautiful, I don't really have a use for them :/

@Nezchan honey, hurry up, you're gonna be late for your hypertransport to work! you know the regular bus never gets you there on time— last time you surprised your colleague so much he spilled his whole cache!

@Nezchan That motherboard doesn’t look very bike or pedestrian friendly.

@Nezchan Are we supposed to take the North Bridge or the South Bridge across the river?

I really miss Tatsuya Tanaka and Miniature Calendar after leaving the old hellsite behind. He's not here, unfortunately. There is an RSS feed, though.

Thank you for informing me of the exact place I got it from.

@Nezchan @erynofwales Um, right, I boosted my reply so that other people would know. Sorry if it came across that way. I assumed you already knew.
