30 Historically Accurate Miniature Rooms That This Artist Builds On A 1:12 Scale
“When creating my miniature pieces, the process can take from one month to almost two years to create a single piece,” this is what professional miniature artist Chris Toledo of Toledo Miniatures told Bored Panda about his finely-detailed, expertly-crafted 1:12 scale historic building interiors.
Chris has the patience of a saint and the focus of a Jedi. His childhood love for art and architecture eventually grew into what it is now: a resounding success that fascinates tens of thousands of people.
“Each model I create starts with extensive research of the era and time period I'm trying to recreate,” Chris said. “Over the years I've collected home plans and building guides from the early 20th century to make sure my pieces are 100% accurate representations of the past.”

This is the first one that I have a tiny quibble about, the wood grain on the flooring is too large.
I do miniatures, and this guy is truly amazing. It reminds me of the miniatures in the basement at the Chicago Art Institute.
