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 in any sort of color scheme.  I also thought about a
aircraft carrier, but it won't fit in our apartment (it would be greater than
20' long, and i'd need over 5000 minifigs!)  we'll see what i can come up
with...

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.
