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'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 (...)
