This is neat, but I must be a negative nancy. Because my first though was, man, so many tiny little light bulbs. That must go out. And must be replaced. By hand. But I guess that's what the lil' comrades were for.

No need for Godzilla; there's already a crazed balding giant destroying the city.

Also, that englishrussia.com site is terrible – all they do is scrape through russian LJ communities and repost stuff without attribution or linkage, covered in AdWords. Stop making FPPs of it, please?

Just don't lay on the grass, seems you get in trouble for that over there.

The size of the model exceeds 400 sqft.

Look, all of Moscow fits into New York City -- with plenty of room left!

(With apologies to arto and SCTV.)

Why would anyone want this if it doesn't come with a godzilla suit?

err, somehow the "for scale" part didn't register; though it is silly to think that these models would be built the same size... err, it's 5:00 am here...
