I returned from Donetsk yesterday so there are some fresh shots :)

May is National Stroke Awareness Month, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that an estimated 795,000 strokes happen in the United States every year. With a stroke occurring approximately every four seconds in the U.S., it is important to know the signs and symptoms that precede a stroke so that preventative measures can be taken.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked. This cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain, which, if left untreated, can result in permanent brain damage and even death. Other ailments that afflict stroke victims include paralysis, difficulty speaking, impaired vision, pain in the limbs and numbness. Because it is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of what leads to a stroke.
“Most people do not realize that 80 percent of all strokes can be prevented if they’re detected early,” said Jonathan Hodgson, D.O., medical director of the Medical Stroke Center at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. “That’s why it is so important to educate the community on how they can promote awareness and prevention efforts pertaining to strokes.”
One of the most common symptoms of an impending stroke is weakness of an arm or leg, numbness of the limbs or face, particularly on one side of the body. Other signs include difficulty speaking, dizziness, confusion and loss of coordination. If you or someone you’re with experiences any of these symptoms, it is very important to call 911 right away. This can prevent long-term debilitations, so don’t hesitate!
Demographic factors such as family history, ethnicity and gender can make you genetically predisposed to having a stroke. However, these odds are easily lowered by keeping yourself healthy. The best way to ensure that you will not suffer a stroke is to take care of your body and lead a heart-healthy lifestyle. Eating well, exercising regularly, managing cholesterol and blood pressure and not smoking will decrease the odds of having a stroke significantly.
“We are committed to aiding our patients in leading active, fulfilling lifestyles,” said Tim Bricker, president and CEO of Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert Medical Centers. “We will continue to build on our history of providing the highest level of stroke services we can to the communities we serve.”

So here as i promissed finally the pictures
of the layout.
140 x 140 studs.
The whole last years work next to the other projects i finished.
Endless bricklink orders.
Endless hours watching the movie to get the things right.
Still a few things are missing i have to add until i propably present it at the LEGO Fanwelt event end of this year.
The part with the black tiles is still under construction with a few more smaller buildings, but for the last exhibition there was no space to walk around the layout anyway, so i saved some time building them.
This is my biggest layout so far.
For the detail shots check the BTTF set:
