This is the same picture, only from a "slightly different perspective".

All of the above pictures, and many more, are the creations of Michael Paul Smith.  Everything is in 1/24th scale, and all of the backgrounds and sets are hand made by Smith.  His attention to detail is astounding. 

Mr. Smith has already gained a large following, and is coming out with a new book of his works called "Elgin Park".  More pictures can be seen on his Flickr and SmugMug Elgin Park pages.  Smith's main Flickr page has more albums showing how he makes the backgrounds.  Check them out and watch for the book when it hits the shelves.
