i have a few toy octopi i have saved to put on top of a small building to make the Tako lounge or something like that. also a few nicely detailed small dinosaurs that i want to put in a park sometime as well for a little traveling dino land display (like half scale models). i saw one of these in a private park in japan last visit. i think most models were half or quarter scale, but they had a full scale trex.

No, no I want a whale.

yeah, but on a japanese building you would need a whaling ship on the building behind it though. how about a whale shark?

 

not that fair to all japanese, but japan is sticking with a lot of whale and dolphin taking that just really aint needed IMHO.

 

perhaps a large Tuna? japanese aquariums love their tuna and shark exhibits! friends have done a lot of work with them over the years helping them keep whale sharks, to tunas.

Very clever!

 

On a related note, I've no intention of offending or upsetting anyone by making this comment, but having eaten whale, I can understand it's appeal.

 

All the best,

This is what happened in my hometown 10 years ago; an UFO visited town! This was actually for a giant art-exhibition to celebrate the new millennium. Everybody fell in love with the UFO stuck on "de Inktpot" (The Ink-jug), so it stayed there. There can still be found some other remains of this exhibition, like a giant pigeon that now stands next to the Rabobank office. It's already 10 years ago, but I can still remember this exhibition being a great success and a wonderful experience!

 

Also a bit railway related as this is the main office of the Dutch Railways.
