Thanks, glad you like it! I also got a third one now, but haven't had a good chance to make pics yet

New gallery: Shinkis go on a trip to Ostankino Tower




There're also some more photos of the visit to Ostankino Tower in my other gallery in case you're interested (no shinkis there though!)

An update in the shinki diary: mini Saint-Petersburg

Amazing photos and amazing location! Wow!

Holy miniature, Batman!
I don't think it's a 1/40, maybe a 1/20, it looks not that small for Shinkis.

Thanks) I just knew I had to visit that place when I read about it, and I'm glad how it worked out even though I didn't have enough time for it.

It doesn't look like 1/40 to me either, but that's manufacturer's info: 1/50 for the whole place and 1/40 for buildings with a 1/37 increased vertical scale for buildings "for better perception of facades".

I'm surprised they let you pose and take pics on it.
It's a beautiful bit of work, I must say.

Thats puzzling XD

I've also noticed how nice it was that either someone allowed you to put figures in it or no one stopped you from doing so. I wonder if anyone noticed and thought it was a cool idea.
Reminded me of how I've missed an opportunity when a shopping mall in the capital had a 1/10 El Castillo on exibit. It was the exact scale of my Jazwares Sonic the Hedgehog :/
