My hobby of building miniatures and taking pretty pictures

Not directly related, but one of the more impressive artists I've seen along these lines. Each photo has a bit of a story to it:

There should be some scale for comparison just to wow people more. I think that most of us underappreciate how really tiny models are.

Ah neat, my daughter likes to do this too, with Rolife. I let her borrow our camera with our 105mm macro lens to take artsy shots of her builds, and it was a fun learning and creative experience together. Highly recommend.

Also, dust and hair at that scale looks hilariously huge, so you might want a cleanroom. :-/

Super cool. Love these kinds of posts.
