Question Another BIG build... but which one?

I'm running a little bit behind with the photos from Prague Castle, and it will be finished soon. As long as my expat posting lasts I want to continue with the megalomaniac builds that I do not get around to otherwise, but... which one is next??
I'm very curious what people would like to see built, although I may of course behave like a megalomaniac myself and build something completely different. The "menu" is as follows:

1. Gomix/Fly Model RMS Titanic 1:200. 139 cm, full hull. This ship needs no introduction. Jerry's current build got me enthousiastic to build this version.
2. Schreiber Bogen St. Peter's Cathedral 1:400. Very large (114 cm) and detailed, with an intimidating amount of pillars to be rolled.
3. HMV Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1:250. Not so much a giant model, but I'm a fan of HMV ship models.
4. GPM Leopold Railway Gun 1:25. 126 cm. Highly detailed model of German WWII railway gun.
5. T. Pleiner/Areva Olkiluoto-3 nuclear power plant 1:350. Full interior!
6. Fly Model Regulus trawler 1:100. Highly detailed full-hull fishing trawler.

I vote for St. Peter's! It's such a beautiful and awe-inspiring place. I had the opportunity to go and sing there in college. I'm not Catholic but it was an amazing experience.

I voted for the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse but I wouldn't mind seeing that large scale Titanic either. I am fascinated by the big liners from that era.

GPM Leopold Railway Gun. We haven't seen many of those kind being built. Looks interesting.

I'm voting for Leopold - nothing quite like a large scale railway build...

So, Leopold is starting to take the lead, and Regulus and Titanic are doing well too. I'm currently having a look around my place in Lagos to see for which model I would have the best display space.
