An US artist is selling miniature car crashes for bonsai trees.
John Rooney makes toy cars look like they've been in a smash by taking them apart, damaging them and then putting them back together again.
His hand-made creations sell for up to £100 each.
Bonsai growers are expected to grow the bonsai around the vehicles by placing the tree more to one side of a pot to make room for the vehicle.
Among the vehicles he has produced are classic cars, sports cars and even fuel tankers which have jack-knifed into the tree and exploded.
John, from Boston, calls the works CrashBonsai and sells them through his website.
The sculptures are used by bonsai gardeners as accessories for their own creations.
Each model is unique, and individually disassembled.
