'A bit slow going'? How short is your attention span?

That sort of recreating a space is something that's always fascinated me. I would have gone far more on the cobblestone look like the original museum piece, and stayed away from the faux wood panelling on the walls of the general store.

Having said that it's an amazing piece of work, just amazing.

I started off thinking that this was a dumb waste of time, but ended up thinking it's just plain lovely. He's very creative, and very happy, and who am I to criticise?

I agree street surface (And perhaps other surfaces) seem like the weak point. Also something clever could probably be done with the ceiling to make it more like a faux sky.

Also, those fishing rods looked suspiciously modern.

But this is nitpicking. It's awesome

Holy. Crap.

Incredible Basements?? What will they think of next? Amazing Attics?

It's kinda funny you know, we bear witness to an old man's past time. Involving great skill and creating beautiful works of art.

THEN

They show a bunch of kids killing time playing in an arcade.

Welcome back to incredible basements, I'm Mike Rowe... genius.

If only he visited the set of Back to the Future 2, we'd have flying cars and hoverboards already!

was this before "Dirty Jobs"?

FANTASTIC FOYERS!

This looks pre-dirty-jobs... mike rowe looks like a spring chicken

> I agree street surface (And perhaps other surfaces) seem like the weak point.

It is a huge distraction. Cheap surfaces are innately modern. REAL surfaces == old times. This desperately needs cobblestones and NOT trailer paneling.
