Model Village

Last Sunday the family went to a model village in our area. It took the guy about fifteen years to build it,and the dedication he put into it was definitely evident.
The majority of buildings went up to one's waist, but there were a few skyscrapers that were even taller than me.
The guy there was very friendly, and he told us about how he started. He first started building models for model villages when he was thirteen, and lived in Manchester, England. When he moved to Australia, he started making his own, and eventually ran out of room in his garage, which was when he decided to set up the village for the public.
In his village he has a highway, on which a number of cars (and one tank) drive. The cars are operated on a pulley system, and each car is driven by a celebrity. The celebrities are of course barbie dolls and action man figures, but each one is set up in a rather satirical manner. Some of the celebrities are Kylie Minogue, and Peter Costello.
The guy, whose name was Ian, was very exited about his village, and he took us all around, getting us a lot of good photos, one of which I have displayed here. All in all, I'd say it was well worth the visit, and I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.
