I don't know if this had made the rounds already, but I thought it was pretty well done.

Guy's got skills, I feel humbled.

That green & white '54 Chevy is exactly like the one I had but mine was light Robin's Egg blue.

His photography is even more awesome than his modeling skills!

I really liked the pic with the two '64 Impalas; my Dad had an Impala SS vert that looked just like that one.

Thanks for the link!

In more than one picture I thought to myself, "I think I know where that was taken." Or, "that looks just like..."

Wow! I used to love building models when I was a teenager. Mine pale in comparison to those though, heck mine pale in comparison to a melted lump of Tupperwear though.

This one looks like a cheap Japanese monster flick gone all wrong

"AAahhh! Kazuki run! The furry-faced monster will eat us all!!!!"

I didn't even realize they were models until I got to the first "set" pic. The guys good.

I always thought an Edsel was bigger.

He's not much of a car builder as they're all diecasts. He did build all the buildings and those are spectacular. I'll see if I can dig the link up from one of the car modelling sites I'm on. Still fantastic photo work.

Wow, I actually stumbled across this guy's work the other night. I'm thinking about building models again, and somehow when I Googled "1/12th scale dioramas", his link was one of the results. His night time "snow" pix are fantastic.
