Satoshi Araki

Someone on the MODEL RAIL RADIO group posted a link showing the work of Satoshi Araki and it totally blew me away. The miniature work is so fine and so detailed that it makes my mind swim knowing how many hours are involved in each detail.

I love the size and scope of many of these little modules, too. Many are small footprint, freestanding box frames that would fit on a shelf of table with ease. Really amazing stuff.

There are more photos of his artwork here:

China Steam 2012

A fun little Narrow Gauge line in China. Not sure why, but I really like it. :)
I can see doing a little side layout with this sort of setup in the future. Such potential for scenery and detail!
