Madurodam (Model city) Holland

Been meaning to get this uploaded earlier this year, as promised in a earlier video. Well finally I've got round to uploading it. Madurodam is located between the center of The Hague and the seaside resort of Scheveningen, in Holland. It's built on a scale of 1:25, & has been for more than 55 years Holland's / Netherlands smallest city.If you get the chance please pay it a visit....You won't be disappointed.

For more details see this link: http://www.madurodam.nl/templates/mad/global/index.php?lngid=5&sqlmode=1&...

Any way I hope you'll like what you see, & possibly tempt you into seeing it for your selves. Cheers.

As an FX guy, whenever I see miniature cities like this, all I can think about (Besides how beautiful it is) is how awesome it would be to film some natural disaster effect with it. Just imagine, creating a simulated asteroid impact, with some huge (in mini terms) explosion going off, knocking the buildings all around! All filmed really slowly, with a super deep DOF lens, so it looks realistic. And adding little CGI people running around on the streets!

@PowerOfMontage it wouldn't work quite as expected though, because inertial forces and gravity don't scale down linearly with the size of the miniatures. You'd notice immediately that's it's toys flying around, and miniature buildings knocking about. (you also see this in pre-CGI films). For example, think about toy cars colliding versus an actual car crash.

@willandscabbers It's actually quite a bit larger. O gauge scale is 1:43,5. The Madurodam trains and tracks are 1:25. Total length of all tracks combined is a stunning three miles+ and the arerage distance covered per train/year is 10.000 m.
