Coming along nicely.  Now to build the scaffolding and wire harness crane so players can access their figures in the center of the table.

Lol, I actually did work on this, made like 5 prototypes in sculpted plaster, they used to make molds.

Its "The Holy Land" theme park in Orlando (we are here, today).  This, btw  is only 1/4th of the total diorama, which takes up maybe 50 x 50 feet.  :0

and they have live crucifixations on the hour! (actors, its not real).

2550 square feet???  :o :o :o

Is it parts of the Philippines where they still do voluntary crucifixions or am I getting mixed up with somewhere else? I couldn't believe my eyes when I first say the ceremony being carried out. It chilled me to the bone but must obviously serve the culture well if people are willing to go through so much pain out of religious conviction.

Lol, no, this is a Orlando theme park next to Universal, lol.   Its just a Jesus themed park.  (Jesus el Cristo, not Jesus the 2nd baseman for the Cardinals)

Also just to further clarify, Atheling, here in the USA the crucifixion reenactment does not involve hammering real nails into the flesh of real people's palms, just pretend nails into actor's palms.

Oh, I know.....  lol

I was referring to the Philippines though I did have to check I'd got the correct country.

I didn't think it was taking place in the US :)
