Art & Inspiration Holy Smokes! Check out these models!

Wow. I like the added effects such as the wet streets and the "snow". (talcum powder?) He had to include a couple of pics of himself in the shot, to establish that they really are models! Thanks, Mazooma.
Side-note: Seeing the realism of these original-style cars, reminds me that I've often thought that traditional hot rods are best seen among unmodified vintage autos. I imagine a car-show in a small historical town that's been closed-off to usual traffic, with all the modern cars hidden away. Have both original vintage cars and hot rods parked (even in driveways) and cruising throughout the town. It would be a trip.

 

Wow

 

WOW !!! thats amazing, the lighting and background is perfect, the guys a genius

 

Sounds like the Rust Revival to me....

 

i actually forgot i was loking at models halfway through that photo set

 

That shot of the 63 vert in the show room is stunning! It took some real hard looking to tell they were models. This guy is an awesome photographer!

 

Add my WOW! Dudes got some skills!

 

Hey Glenn...they do that at the Rust Revival?

 

Doug ... great find ... thanks for sharing!

All of his models/dioramas are unbelievably cool (and very cleverly photographed) ... but for some strange reason , these are my favorites:

 

Looked like So.Cal. (Paramount, Bellflower, Compton, Downey except for the snow!) back when I was a kid.
I'd like to display my Danbury and Franklins like that..... cool stuff!

 

Absolutely stunning!
The best I have ever seen!

 

Had me fooled at first. Some are too real to tell.

 

Unbelievable!!! They look so real. Looking at those pictures makes me want to live there!

 

that's bad ass!!
that dude has crazy skills

 

Man that's crazy.

 

Absolutely amazing!!

 

Great composition in the pics! Thanks for posting that Doug.

Sounds like the Strangers Annual BBQ at San Jose History Park.

This was taken at last years show...

Yep, we take over Wayland Mo for two days. It's a really cool old town and the whole downtown area becomes hot rod central.....Not as period correct as the models, but pretty darn groovy none the less.

 

wicked! thanks for posting this, its amazing.

 

It's almost surreal....!

Spooky like....!

But, cool as hell....!

 

Thanks mazoo that is incredible....would love to see him build some Hot Rod, Custom or Salt Flat cars.

 

Fanstastic!! What a work of Art!! Automotive Eye Candy in a Time machine!!

 

Make that Model A glue.............. damn, you can even see blades of grass in the front yard! AMAZING

Caught me off guard to say the least.
Amazing...

 

un believeable, i thought they were pics of real stuff , till i saw the ones with the guys hands in them.

hat's off to the builder, thats for sure

That is amazing. one of my cousins collects Franklin and Danbury mint diecast models. He has over 600 of them. The detail in them are phenomenal. I couldn't imagine how much time that guy has put into making the buildings.

 

That photo with the '59 El Camino is my favorite, they are all good though. Definitely has talent.

 

Is that what heaven looks like?
