Someone posted a video about this before, but this video is different. Looks like they added some stuff.

That's some crazy model work.

I never saw it before it looks cool. I think the narrator was a computer.

Boy, you got that right. Bet they don't get out much or have a social life! Except at modeler conventions. ;)

Over 500,000 working hours...

That's ridiculous.

The Germans have a history of going a little bit extreme.

QuoteThe bedroom adjacent to the dining room and the subsequent house chapel are the only rooms of the palace that remain in neo-Gothic style. The king's bedroom is dominated by a huge bed adorned with carvings. Fourteen carvers worked more than four years on the bed canopy with its numerous pinnacles and on the oaken panelings.

I've taken the tour twice, pictures do not do the wood work justice.
