      28:30 I think she soiled herself. Once (we drive on the right here BTW) I was riding a bicycle downhill and at the bottom there's a curve to the left. If you make the curve too fast, there's a bunch of sand on the right side of the road to greet you. But this was the '90s and I had the worst brakes. Also it was the '90s so no safety gear whatsoever. Anyway, I was just managing this curve and a big camping-out truck comes from behind me, (a) leaving not much room and (b) blowing me off the road. So I voluntarily ditched, and rolled into the sand. I was fine, the bike was fine, the doofus going camping was fine, and I rode home a little slower that day.

      Airport scenes are huge. If you have ever been to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg you can see the airport there is as huge as a the cities are. It is about 150 Squaremeters, but still resembles a rather small airport. Even a small airfield would have to be at least 11 m in H0 scale in one direction due to the runway.
      I think the idea is great, but I don't know whether or not he has the capacity to do this.

    This model was originally designed and sold by Imagine That Laser Art based in Windsor Ontario. The company was owned and operated by Mark Williams, a local sculptor and model maker. He sold the company to ITLA in Cambridge ON. O scale and HO version was available. .I was fortunate to help Mark on several of his models. The most famous being a 1/48th. full size rendition of the Brooklyn Dodgers Ebbetts Field baseball stadium, since torn down in New York . It was a custom build laser cut excact replica sold to a private collector in California for $175,000. Mark actually designed several of the ITLA buildings.
