Flirtin' With Disaster

This guy makes miniature nickel castings of landmark sites in his Buildings of Disaster series.

Here's the Texas School Book Depository:

How fucking sweet is that?

I'm thinking a Lorraine Motel and a Chernobyl reactor would look pretty goddam hinky on the Shelf of Shame. Probably pass on the Neverland Ranch, though.

This guy's a Rooski, too. We have to close the Disaster Miniatures Gap pronto! The barbarous Slavs are kicking our asses here.

Thanks to Belinda.

Oh, yeah. Obligatory Molly Hatchet vid:

Since when did Molly Hatchet become obligatory? Damn. And I thought gerbils mixed with cylinders of cardboard were the only qualifiers for such a tag.

Shows you what I know.....

I know what you're wondering. If you stood near that thing, could you resist the urge to shout, "Hey! Looka what we did! That's for Pearl Harbor!"
