It's impressive, but it looks like a pretty boring build on the whole. Where would it be kept? It's huge.

our was due this afternoon, but we won't be in. Redirected to Monday when I'll be WAH
I apply all stickers; mainly because I don't think I'd ever move them on. In any case, I haven't had too many problems with applied stickers deteriorating. Certainly on sets less than 10 years old. I keep my built sets in the dark.For those who both build and think of investment potential: do you apply the stickers to stuff you think you’ll be selling on?
The only one I’ve built that had stickers was the Technic Volvo Loader, and I did use them. The Yellow Sub and Saturn V are all prints. I don’t view any of these as part of the ‘investment portfolio’ though (I’ve got another sealed Yellow Sub and Saturn V). I would actually sell the Volvo if anyone wanted it, though the other two are definitely staying.
My upper limit for investment sets is around NZD500 or close to £250, which generally accommodates my favourite themes in Modular Buildings, discounted 1/8th scale Technic cars and some of the larger Ideas / Icons sets. I made an exception for the Titanic as I think it's a stunning replica and worth the full asking price.I’ve not invested in any of the really expensive sets yet, I think £200 or thereabouts is my limit. I just like the idea of spreading the risk a little more. Some do seem to do well though. I’d love to see Lego’s sales figures to see where the curve starts to really drop with increasing price. The huge expensive sets will obviously be much rarer in the same way there will be far more Planar 3s than P10s, but the future market will be smaller too, especially if nostalgia-based. The architecture stuff does tend to do pretty well though. That said I think there is a very strong argument for buying what you really like. It is certainly a huge part in my buying strategy; I just don’t buy sets unless I feel they look right.
