Minecraft - The Real World

This is a project I've just started, and right now I'm aiming to create a to scale replica of the Earth by using a NASA height map provided by Sycosys.This is a smaller scale test (1000x500 blocks), but since I've kinda already figured out how to do it I just need to finish a couple of tools before tackling on a larger scale. Terrain color and weather are probably wrong, since my aim this time was simply to figure out how to properly import a heightmap. For the video I also created a custom texture pack to allow for invisible minecart and tracks. Other tools used to create this:

Omen (to import the topographic map)
MCEdit (to adjust the water level and some other minor adjustments)
Adobe Photoshop (for some minor adjustments and heightmap color correction)
Fraps (to record the video)

Edit: Added tags when flying over Canada since Canadians wouldn't stop asking for them.
