Art & Inspiration Holy Smokes! Check out these models!

Thank You to posting this Link Mazooma!! Very much appreciated...

 

If he's that detailed about his models, what would he do with a real car...

 

It might of been said before but these look so real, unbelieveable.

 

Impressive shit. I don't think my CARS are this detailed.

 

Kick Ass man! Thanks for sharing.

 

Small town USA back in the day. So much detail that the cars even shine in some of the photos.

 

Wow! Sure had me fooled for a while. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very very cool

 

Yikes. If that dude doesn't already do that for a living, he should.

 

NOT to rain on the parade, but many of the models appear to be diecast. Regardless, the buildings and photography are just amazing to me. Gary

 

Freakin' Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

More of his stuff is here... Gary

The only thing lacking is scale model litter. If it had some trash laying around, you would feel at home.
Truly a beautiful group of dioramas and catching shots of real objects way in the background is awesome.

 

That is unbelievable!!!

 

ditto!!! holy shit!

 

That's how they did the "Moon Landing"........

 

Man thats cool, I felt like I could just move right in.

 

The devil's in the details, of course

Incredible! Amazing detail.

 

All the car models are diecast. Either Danbury or Franklin Mint 1/24th scale.

 

You have to keep telling yourself that they are just models and the street scenes are scale. Incredible work, I'll bet he could build a bitchin hot rod.

Wow isn't even a strong enough word for that. Not just one, but who knows how many. Seems almost endless. Wonder if this guy even has time to eat.

 

Wow awsume. Thanks Doug you just made my day...Brian p.s. where do you find all neat shit??

 

Many years ago I read an article on how that sort of photography is done. The trick is to use actual daylight and an actual outdoor background; and the smallest aperture you've got, so you don't get depth-of-field effects. It's the shallow depth of field that gives away a model photo.

I'd done some of that myself with architectural models, set up on barstools on the flat roof of a tallish building and oriented the way the design is intended to be, so the shadows will be accurate. I'd compose the shot to include just a bit of real-life horizon, it's much more realistic. I once helped out a student with photos of his final thesis project. He almost flunked because they thought he'd copied a real building!

 

WOW! That is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile. Will be spending some time absorbing the details this weekend! Unreal. Thanks for posting that link.

 

that's amazing............... makes you wish you were there.

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING Models and Photos. Maravilloso!!

 

Look at the chain on the pickups tail gate, Unreal.
Look's sooo freaking real.

 

Wow, nice work. The models may be die cast but he must have hundreds of hours in the buildings and background plus some great photography skills.

The house in the photos is very close in design to a real one that I owned 25 years ago. That in it's self added a bit to it for me.

 

very cool indeed!!!
