What do you see on the left? Is it a city? No. It's a scene from the model railroad diorama that Rod Stewart built.
With his own hands.
You may know Stewart for his music, but one of his greatest passions is model railroading. For many years, off and on, he worked on a massive 124-foot long, incredibly detailed cityscape. He holds the title of a Master Model Railroader from the National Model Railroad Association.
Rod Stewart is one of eight celebrities with perhaps surprising skills. You can read about others at Cracked, including the hidden backgrounds of Jon Stewart, Sean Connery, and Jason Lee.
