The weather wasn't that good on Sunday. I decided to try my luck indoor. I swallowed so much "food" I thought my camera would probably have to endure a very severe case of "indigestion". I went to the Mini-Model Exhibition at Maritime Square, Tsing Yi

[版主回覆04/15/2013 21:21:13]Some of the exhibits are really very well done indeed. Often they contain very trivial but important little details which help trigger old memories. And as you say, some of them are tempting.
Seems quite an interesting exhibition with local culture.

So very nostalgic!
回覆刪除Look at the minor details they put into the miniature objects, not missing even the dents in the metal steam pot covers!
[版主回覆04/16/2013 22:39:04]You are most observant. You're right. There are a lot of surprisingly tiny details.
Thank you very much for the great sharing. I am particularly amazed by the details of all the food exhibits - they look so real and tempting.
回覆刪除[版主回覆04/17/2013 12:51:25]Glad you enjoyed them. They're probably the result of hundreds of hours of very meticulous work.
以假可亂真。精彩！
