It's all about perspective

This guy has the eye to fit his small scale models into large scale life, nice!

Wow, great find - he has bags of talent :bow::

Would love to try something similar in the future although I think fitting jets and tanks into everyday life may be a challenge.

Have to say that was super to look at, and at times hard to tell the difference between what is real and what is not, very nice all round.

incredible, I wonder how many shots he takes to get "the right one"? perspective can be a tricky so-and-so but he's nailed it again and again!

There is a certain effect which can actually make it impossible for the beholder to guess the size of the model. You have to take a picture from the bottom pointing upwards, that way the eye is deceived and assumes it is big or even 1/1 scale
