ISS Gingerbread model

I made a gingerbread "house" of the ISS! Originally I was planning to make more of it out of gingerbread, but it ended up only being the solar arrays. I wanted to make my model to scale, while also being edible. I ended up with a scale of 0.18 inches per meter, or 1:219. All the pressurized modules are represented except the ones that hang below, and the Quest airlock. I added the external platform to Kibo, plus its remote manipulator robot arm. Apologies to ITS fans, the whole truss is just a bunch of Toblerone bars. I did manage to include all the thermal radiator panels, except for the parts that stick out below the PMs. More pictures and explanation on my blog

Nice, but surely this belongs in Advanced Concepts?

Very nice!
Here is my take on SpaceX Starship (video below).
Somehow this cookie rocketry has now become more of a yearly tradition for me...
