Tuesday "Just for Fun": The Halo 3 Diaorama

You've probably seen the TV commercial for Halo 3 where the camera pans and zooms through a static battle scene from the video game. That video actually was a close-up recording of a diaorama (remember doing these in grade school?). The commercial is moving and the detail on the diaorama is -- to put it mildly -- stunning.

Check out a few more pics of this diaorama here:

Even more exciting is the web site for the diaorama itself. This site gives you the controls to interactively move through the model:

Lastly, if you haven't seen the commercial, titled "Believe", you can stream it from here:
