Town To Scale
Check out the town Michael Paul Smith grew up in at 1/24th scale. Also with some of the coolest old cars all in perfect condition because they are models. There will be 2 links, the first one will have the story and thumbnail pictures, the second will be a slideshow of the pictures which look like a real town. Smith puts his hand or face in a few of the shots for comparison so as to see the true size of the model.

you're welcome sweetie.
expat, just goes to show, not all geeks have computers.
kidding aside, the guy is a serious perfectionist though.

Patty, sweetheart, THANK YOU FOR THIS! As an artist I can thoroughly appreciate this explosion of creativity! Expat, I usually agree with and appreciate your posts, but I think you're off the mark on this one ... this is truly amazing stuff! (And from some of his descriptions, he's getting PAID for some of it for advertising purposes -- so: you get paid to play ...? What's wrong with that?) Very nostalgic, exquisitely crafted, a thoroughly delightful post. Patty, I owe you another one! Thanks! (The "Abominable Snowman" head-shot alone qualifies for WU, I've seen stuff on this site that didn't give my brain anywhere near the vertigo that it does, even after repeated viewings!)

I also deeply appreciate that he is willing to share his techniques and tools and materials ... THIS is the sign of a true artist, a compulsive communicator! From my experience at the Motion Picture & Television department of a large airplane manufacturer, be assured: this degree of detail is almost impossible to create unless it's a labor of love! "Kazoos and Hominy Grits" 4FR!
