Fort Knox Miniature at...Fort Knox

superado

My son, who is a newly commissioned US Army Armor Officer, sent me the below photos that I've been meaning to share. He took these at the General Patton Museum on his phone while he was training last year in Fort Knox.

EDIT: Earlier, I wasn't sure if this was the same model, but I found the first image below online. This miniature of the US Bullion Depository apparently a portion of the Operation Grand Slam rumpus room miniature during the hood convention sequence, which was much more expansive:



Pics taken by my son:

The cars really sell it.

Thanks for sharing, superado!

So not only is the miniature still viable, it's in museum connected to the source setting!
Marvelous! Thanks Superado, wonderful news. -{

Hey cool thanks for posting those.

I really wanted to visit that museum about 10 years ago and then they moved most of their tank collection to Georgia.

Fanatic model. Did you do a bit of Goldfinger's
Speech beside it ? )

“This is gold, dear ladies and gentlemen. All my life I've been in love with its color... its brilliance, its divine heaviness...now remove from your necks, wrists and fingers your articles of gold, calmly but quickly place them in my backpack and nobody will be hurt.” )

I doubt if the Miami Beach police would take kindly to what you're doing....

At which point my beautiful accomplices would commence with "Rock-a-Bye Baby." :v

If only Puzz 3D included the Fort Knox Bullion Depository in their offerings. However, with today's technology that's readily available, someone familiar with 3D modelling and printing (or knows someone who is) can start with this 3D model downloadable for free:

I'm sure there are more files like this online.

This is good. I only saw goldfinger only a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if any one has ever seen a pait of eyes from inside the model like James Bond hiding there? )
