Wow, that's astounding!

A lady in our church made a model of the temple, not that big, and not that ornate, that she uses to teach Sunday School with.

I thought hers was astounding! But this one beats hers!

Very interesting. At first I didn't notice that there is a 19 picture slide show that also tells the story of what he did. The caption on one picture says My wife thinks I'm crazy

Thanks, Eeset, I hadn't realized that it was a slide show, either. The details make it even more astounding.

That info tries to come off a bit humorous I think, but its actually pretty sad. Its a wonderful model, but this guy is obviously obsessed, and maybe a bit of a braggart as well. He hand baked all of the bricks and tiles individually and then stuck them together? That's just wild. No wonder its taken him 30+ years and counting. Ah well. Still amazing to see.

People with obsessions fascinate me. :shrug:

I can relate. I think its because I wonder what makes their minds tick...

Some guys need a hobby. This one seems to have been as good as any.
