Oh - those are very cool pictures from the CSI Miniature room shown on there - the kitchen. How neato! Thanks for the link - I don't know why I could get that to appear when I went to the CBS / CSI website.....the Las Vegas one.

Someone was very talented to get that miniature room done for that show - I wonder who did it?

I don’t know - I was just reading about how they had to have a special kind of high-def (HD) camera built to shoot those scenes. I had wondered about that.

When I was doing my bigger ones, I ran into a lot of people who build models for show business - there are tons of them used for all kinds of scenes. I *dreamed* about doing that.

So, I’m sure there are special effects people who are miniaturists on the side - probably one of those did it. I know there was an X Files fan who replicated their offices and a lot of special scenes in 1:12. Those pix used to be online, too.

Are you familiar with the Thorne Rooms? The lady who did those was a cousin of my longtime friend and they are what I would’ve aspired to, had I had the time, money and staying power. I had 2 out of 3!

I have the book of all of them, but not sure where they might be on the ‘Net. The bulk of them are in one of the Chicago museums, but not the same one as Colleen Moore’s Fairy Castle. I have seen all of them in person and wanted to do something similar in 1:6, the Smithsonian patent model scale.
