WOW ! Nice work, the only things that tipped me they were models were the tires and the quality of the photography.

Very good job....but things are just too clean.  Not a dirty car in the whole bunch.  And none of them drip anything on the streets.  The travel trailer looked like bugs didn't exist yet.

Cars are to big :)  Probably 1:24 scale
I have a small model railroad in N (1:160 scale) and have seen some truly amazing work ing N or HO (1:87)
This is HO from a guy here locally

The only give aways is the lack of other buildings in the backdrop

My thing has always been WWII planes and armor (any era )but I enjoy looking at any well done scale modeling/craft work.

I'd seen his work before. Can't remember the website, but there were three times the pictures. They had me fooled until I noticed the cars appearing to be running down the road didn't have any drivers.
