Ray Barker’s home is a converted broom closet which measures 11’ X 5.5’. It was originally bought by a secretary for £37,000 in 1987. However, location is everything, and since it is located opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge, the miniature home has been valued at £200,000. Four years ago, Mr. Barker bought the small apartment for £120,000. He says that he can do the cleaning while lying in his sofa bed. In fact, he says that he can wash up, answer the door, make a cup of coffee, and use the restroom all at the same time. The space’s two rooms measures 60.5 ft.2 and has a toilet, a shower which doubles up as a wardrobe, and six-inch deep cupboards. The space is just fine for sleeping, has a space to hang his jacket and keep his shampoo.
 The postal service depicted in these photos may very well be the smallest ever. With everything in miniature, I wonder if they collect for their services with miniature money?  Honestly, at first I thought that they already started to produce miniature PSPs and that it would be impossible to play on such a little game console, but it is not like it looks like. View the rest of the post.  It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue. He can spend until 6 months to create a building and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA). Look after the jump the amazing works of one of the most patient men in the world.  Another good series of photo manipulation. This time, the idea was to make people, things or places look gigantic or miniature in comparison to the other elements in a photo, the whole process with exaggeration of course. Some are really original and well found! Just take a look…  The idea is simple, but the photos (if you have some imagination) are cool. The concept consists of a photo of a couple in any situation you want but with the groom looking like a giant next to the bride or the bride looking like a fairy next to the groom, your choice  Though, the bride here looks like a man’s toy, which can be seen as offensive for women… So, what d’ya think? Cool or creepy?  This model of miniature Ferrari F40 is 8 times smaller than the real super car. And the interesting thing is that this exact hand-built replica is ignited with the smallest key in the world. Look at the complex process of assembling and the final result inside the post. Really cool!   Nikolai Aldunin is called the master of miniatures. He put horseshoes on a flea as well as saddle and stirrups, he also put 7 camels in the eye of a needle and a replica of a Russian samovar that is smaller than a grain of sugar, he made a tank on a sliced apple seed - it is almost impossible to believe. Nevertheless, it is real and everything is crafted out of gold. Like many other artists who make miniature sculptures, Nikolai crafts between the beats of the heart that allows him to reduce the shaking of hands. This is very interesting to see.  Miniature Wonderland (German: Miniatur-Wunderland) is a model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany and the largest of its kind in the world. As of January 2008, the railway consists of 11,000 metres (36,089 ft) of track in H0 scale, divided into five sections: Southern Germany, Hamburg and the coast, America, Scandinavia and Switzerland. Of the 4,000 square metres (43,056 sq ft) of floor space, the model takes 1,500 m2 (16,146 sq ft). By 2014 the exhibit is due to double the number of sections to ten; the next section covering an airport, is due to open in 2009. The exhibit includes 900 trains made up of 12,000 carriages; 300,000 lights, 200,000 trees and 200,000 human figures. All this can be seen in minor details. And judging by many photographs from there it is even hard to say that this is only a miniature, it looks very plausible.  |
