| Inspiration for a particular module can come from nearly anywhere. Sometimes in the case of a module like [[modules:CenturyLink Tower]] it is a closely inspired replica of [[https://www.google.com/maps/@44.9444318,-93.0945465,3a,75y,212.74h,107.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ss-6j9VU55cR24XwQDS_PyA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1|a real building in downtown Saint Paul, MN]] though often the scale is modified to fit with budget or aesthetics. Many building ideas come from a certain class of building and the [[modules:Octan Refinery]], [[modules:Miles Tower]], and [[modules:Cemetery]] are good examples. Still others come from one of us really wanting to have something like a [[modules:Children's Museum]] or a [[modules:Solar Power Plant]] and then coming up with what we think that would look like. | Inspiration for a particular module can come from nearly anywhere.

| + | It should be noted that one should be careful when using a phrase like, "That couldn't possibly exist in reality." Several of the strangest structures to have shown up in a Micropolis layout have been based closely on real buildings. A perfect example is Thomas Anderson's replica of the [[http://atomium.be/|Atomium]] that was debuted at the [[layouts:2015_04_smm|Science Museum of Minnesota display in 2015]]. | ||
