30 Historically Accurate Miniature Rooms That This Artist Builds On A 1:12 Scale
Interview With Artist
“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.”
Scroll down for the rest of our in-depth interview with the artist and upvote your favorite miniatures. Let us know in the comments what you think of Chris’ art and whether you’ve tried making miniatures yourselves.

It reminds me of Rene Magritte when something is way out of proportion.

ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING/MAGNIFICENT!!! Such perfection, every detail complete! I saw something similar in 1967 or perhaps 1968 when we took a school trip to the museums on the lakefront in Chicago. This is the only other work of this kind that I have had the pleasure of seeing. THANK YOU, and the child in me thanks you as well.

I love all of these! They remind me of the Thorne Rooms Miniatures in the Phoenix, AZ Art Museum. They were my favorite things when I was little. I loved going there to see the miniature rooms. But the contents of those rooms were collected throughout Europe, not handmade in the way these are. I recognize these styles and they are so perfectly rendered. I would buy a coffee table book with photos of these rooms. The house, these rooms, belong in a museum!
