I think you are really going to like this. These are all model Cars!

When you open it go to the top and click on Previous – Next to have slides present and change. Also where it says SHOW INFORMATION you can click on that to see how and why he did some of this. Truly amazing.

Wow - those are fantastic. I honestly wouldn't have known they were models without looking very closely. That takes some skill, thanks for posting.

While the photography was very skillful, and the models of the buildings and interiors were very nicely done...I'm afraid there was no actual "skill" involved with the model cars. They are manufactured by Danbury Mint, and anyone can purchase them...if you are willing to spend the money on them.

The prices for these cars vary from $110 to around $160 (IIRC) on their website. They seem to bring $40 to $100 or so on auction sites and at collector shops.

The pictures are very well done though, and great fun to look at. There's no doubting he's a skilled photographer.

Beautiful looking vehicles. The only thing is I believe that I drove or rode in maybe half of those vehicles. I remember as a child riding in a rumble seat.
Tough to get old!

The photography/photoshopping is very impressive. The reality comes from the sewer covers, the trees, the other buildings in the background, and our eyes tell us it's 100% real because of the telephone and power wires. Very neat!
