The two or three dioramas I made for school over the years took forever and looked really crappy. I would never come close to the patience to create a model even approaching the realism of these photos. Alan, I'd forgotten about that model town in Beetlejuice. There's only <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=tqVV4GSYrNM" rel="nofollow">one scene</a> that I clearly remember from Beetlejuice. You’re right, Jake.

Alan, I’d forgotten about that model town in Beetlejuice. There’s only one scene that I clearly remember from Beetlejuice.

For someone with no experience and only working nights, this would take at least close to a year (and possibly more) instead of just a month.

You are always doing something that causes me to say, "where in the heck does he get the time". Ever since the movie Beetlejuice, I've had a lingering desire to do something like this. The movie has the Alec Baldwin making a miniature replica of the town they live in. It just hit me as really cool. Last Christmas when my mom was helping me with a massive train setup, I offhandedly mentioned this. Her response floored me. She said, "Your father has something similar to that up in the attic." "What?!", I replied. I still haven't ventured up into her attic to see what he did, but I'm glad that your blog reminded me of that. Next time I'm up there I'm going up there. My wife doesn't let me go up there often, as I always come down with stuff she calls "junk". Captcha - pachyderm I actually fell for it… mainly because I could see you doing something like that.

I knew you were lying because I know the odds of you taking on a hobby like that are as slim as the odds of me doing it. Still, I love, love, love the images. Heh.

Frankly, they aren't that convincingly real in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erikrasmussen/629084797/" rel="nofollow">original photograph</a> either. Thanks, Simon.
