If this post was interesting to you check my architectural models blog[0]. It’s in zombie mode now but I posted regularly for a decade.

Wow. That's really impressive. Here is more background:

And the virtual exhibition of the museum:

Some of the models contain a rail segment (Märklin etc.). Was he a model train enthousiast and the houses were part of a layout, or did he use the rails just as accessories? Strange that the articles don't say anything about the artist's motivation.

Czechs have a good tradition in paper models of architecture:

I wish I, too, could do stuff like that while being unconscious.

This post made my day. Beautiful.
