WWII Railside German Army Scene

I'm a modeler by trade (trains - not military modeling) and ran across this. This quality of this fellow's work is, well, in a class by itself. This is not the usual WWII diorama I'm sure many of you have seen. Click on the address, take a look and you will see what I mean.......

That sure looks real.

The only giveaway I saw were the people, and I had to look at them for a long while to figure it out.

Is there money in this, or is it a hobby?

...both. I don't work in this scale, but I've had a full time business for almost 16 years. I'm never caught up....

WOW!; Here in the U.S. the only thing that comes close are some of the Civil War displays made at least 50 yrs. ago. Sadly, most are deteriorating.

Oh, my God! I have just started building an HO-scale train layout with my grandson and this raises the standard by an order of magnitude. I think we'll have to hide behind the excuse that we're working in 1:87 scale rather than 1:6. Thanks very much for posting this link.
