Mini Scaping
Sauce: Joshua Smith a self-taught Australian artist who creates modern urban miniatures replicating major cities. His attention to detail is insane.

Check out Joshua Smith, his work is fantastic.
Miniatures are just strange and neat.

I have a mate with the same name and a fondness for action figures (which would scale well with his amazing creations), what are the odds?!

SirBarnabusMontesforteWinsomTheThird
It being in black and white is a nice touch.

Those are fuckin' amazing...

I have a metric for art. I consider art a thing that expresses the suffering of the artist under an obsession to create. The effort must be
notinterestednow
Evident. When I see it it must seem impossible for me to reproduce unless I also suffer under that obsession. This qualifies.

emptyother
With that kinda details he could build miniature sets for live action movies and nobody would notice.

HeyThatGuyIsntWearingAnyPants
Does anyone know how you get into doing stuff like this? I'm really interested but know nothing about it all.
CompelledCynic
I'm thinking about getting into it too, found this great youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjRkUtHQ774mTg1vrQ6uA5A/videos
HeyThatGuyIsntWearingAnyPants
Oh wow!! Thanks for sharing!!

There are plaster model kits you can buy. They're mainly used for military models.
Schaade
One way, buy model railroad building kits. Assemble them, then start dressing them up--paint, people, extra parts. It grows on you.
