I was planning to build a realistic minifig scale Jumbo 747, then I figured
out the dimensions of it, consequently I quit the whole project, because:

A: It would be near 30 studs wide(God knows what that would be with the wings!)

B: It would also be 22 studs high (With upper area included, but not counting
the tail!!).

C: It would probably take up three or four 48x48 grey baseplates in length.

D: You couldn't pick it up and whiz it about the room.

E: NO airport made out of Lego that I know could EVER handle it.

So, in all, this plane could almost crush Millenium City. Now I've set my
sights on a more scaled down version of a 727 instead.

Don't feel too bad; my Father once built outta my legos (as a kid) a big-ass (can I say ass on here?) plane that almost looked like one of those cargo planes with propellers. I think I have a photo of the model stuffed into my boxes, so if I can dig (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

I'm personally still planning on building a 747-400 to MF scale... I've figured out the dimentions (6' X 5') and while i'm not anywhere near close to starting.... i'm finding that the windows (!!) and 500 chairs will be hard to come by :) especially (...)
