That is incredible. One of the most brilliant things I've seen for a long time. Thanks for sharing, I'll be checking the pics out many more times.

Great work. The natural lighting makes the models look all the more real.

I love the Impalas - my dad had a custom '58 Impala (rear bumper and spare wheel holder off a T-Bird) back in the early Sixties.

honestly those look REAL as in taken in the 1950s they are THAT good the pics are astonishing as are the models the only thing that alludes to them being models and not the real deal is the lack of people or signs of life in some pics but apart from that they are unbelievable good I would hate to think what this same fellow could do with a model railway

Just brilliant!! Seeing those pics brought a smile to my face. Reminds me of an elderly man I used to know (he passed away a few years back) who had a smiliar model set up but with trains. He'd smile ear to ear about those trains, they were his world. Thanks for reminding me of him.

Wow. Just, wow.

Absolutely amazing.

To the OP - I've added you as a contact on Flickr. I don't get on there heaps and tend to use Facebook more for my pics, but at least any new ones you take and put up will show in my feed there, they are just way too amazing. I love them!

Amazing. What scale are your models man? I used to have a whole collection of HO scale products, a few trains and houses and cars and such. Was great. Very inspired to get back into that after looking at this. Incredible.
