I love scale models. Love scale models. Not enough that I actually own any scale models of my own but there’s something appealing about tiny versions of massive things. Like the new BC Place, for example. When I was at the press conference for the announcement of the new Whitecaps brand they had set up this futuristic display booth thing with this scale model in it. I don’t imagine they’d build the booth for a single press conference so keep your eyes peeled for this thing popping up at Whitecaps and Lions related events and stuff in the coming months…

I had been hoping the roof was going to have a low profile. Since the old one’s deflation the newly exposed skyline has grown on me. From the looks of this model it’s only temporary.

I just heard that this model will be on view at the Tourism Vancouver office, #210 200 Burrard Street, starting tomorrow (July 14th). No info on their website though.
