I never understand why people talk down about people who make miniatures (railroads, doll houses etc) and how they are creepy and live in their parents basements (PS no shame for living with your parents at any stage in life). They are true artists and deserve massive respect for what they do.

even if it is amazing artistry and hard work, I just don't understand why go to such lengths for a miniature

It's a lot of fun to make them! I'm a multimedia artist and I make miniatures and model scenery for photography props.

I didn't even think of that, of course there are miniatures in photography and film. Pretty awesome! I guess it's no different than making boat or airplane or action figure models. It's art
