He designs his scenes by real examples from the 20s up 50s. Every miniature detail is individually build by him. Whether it’s the small grocery shop on the corner or the Art Deco veranda from the wooden House. Michael Paul Smith continues to develop every detail absolutely to scale with his skill as a model maker and also ensures that the corresponding structures look realistic. Furniture, dishes, books, frames, boxes or telephone poles – Smith owns a collection of thousands of small props which he rebuilt over the years. So, dine-inn restaurants, shops, laundries and junkyards en miniature are suddenly becoming alive. And always with a corresponding model vehicle. Sometimes Smith is working four months on a project.
