If those pictures were in black and white and slightly blurred it'd be difficult to tell them from the real thing. Amazing!

It's hard to say what already hasn't been said. I'm at a loss for words. That is simply amazing!

Looks good, except for the fact that the figures/dolls gave it away immediately.

Outstanding! I'm glad he had one photo of a real human (himself) with the models, just to give it some scale.

I've seen a lot of real WWII photos that weren't blurry at all. No need to blur every screenshot to make it look "real".

Reminds me of an old Steven Wright joke.

Back in my room, I have a map of the world. Actual size, 1 inch=1 inch.

If it were just trains and vehicles i'd agree but the 1/6th scale figures give it away.
