I've made a YouTube playlist consisting of around 3-1/2 hours of video of really large architectural miniatures. I consider some of these large because they're large scale, while I include others because they sprawl all over the place. There's everything from British miniature villages to the Langweil model of Prague to Applied Imagination's inspiring buildings made of natural material.
And of course, I had to include one of my favorites: The Storybook Land Canal Boats from Disneyland, which I've loved since childhood.
An ongoing diary of miniatures I've built, as well as links to inspiring scale models.

Disneyland Train Depot
This is a roughly HO-scale model of the Disneyland Main Street train depot. It was designed by Robert Nava and can be downloaded from his website, The Disney Experience.
I built it at about 1/2 the intended size, which makes it roughly 1/87th scale. It's laser-printed cardstock, and all pieces were hand-cut by me, including a lot of Victorian trim around the gables, dormers and support pillars. I printed the flags double-sided on thinner paper, and used sewing pins as the poles. To eliminate all the white edges of the paper, I trimmed with gouache paint.
Video includes an excerpt from the song, "What? No Mickey Mouse?"
