Amazing Celebrity Miniaturizations

0 comments

Liz Lomax, who calls herself "a three dimensional illustrator", creates figurines for record covers, magazines, billboards, adverts and just for fun of it ....the Rolling Stones....

Her work has included quirky caricatures of megastar musicians including Sting....

...Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller.

She has even made a mini Michael Jackson dangling a baby as well as a bling wearing 50 Cent.

Liz's works can take between one week and several months, depending on whether there is a deadline.


After sketching out a plan on paper she will set to work building up a wire and aluminium foil frame onto which will be layered sculpting clay, all the while referencing photographs of her subject.

Colour is then added to the sculpture using oil paint. "Her hair alone was so captivating and it reminded me that I had some brillo pads under the kitchen sink. I thought how perfect they'd be for her beehive, so I sculpted her."

Liz explains: "Most of my ideas come from watching people in the news and current events. There'll be that one person or situation that will jump out and I can see the whole thing sculpted in my head"

The nimble-fingered creative also makes incredible wedding cake toppers which feature mini depictions of the happy couple.

New Yorker Liz's souvenir scrapbook includes pictures of her with Ringo Starr....

..Paul Weller....

...and Roger Daltrey .

One of the biggest mock-up railways of the world! Experience a great landscape with houses and figures, cars and trees, hills and valleys, night and day and, of course, lots and lots of tracks and trains !









Come and visit the biggest miniature train system in the world! Situated in the old Storehouse City, the miniature train system became one of the most visited tourist attractions in Germany. More than 4 million visitors already got into this incredible world of dreams and illusion.







The miniature Wunderland stretches over a size of 4000 square meters (43,000 square feet) from Scandinavia to the USA, from the coast to the high mountains. And it is still growing! Inside the Wunderland day and night are experienced within a few hours and for the most different kind of regions of our planet.









Gambling in Las Vegas, hiking in the alps or rowing on Norwegian fjords. Everything is possible in the Wonderland. Use your stay in Hamburg and visit the Miniature Wunderland with its 160.000 mini inhabitants, be astonished by the 700 trains, 4000 moving cars and ships, as well as the ocean of lights, created by more than 250.000 individual lights.

















Many visitors show up early in the morning and leave in the very last minute, only to come back next morning. The Miniatur Wonderland cannot be explored in a couple of minutes. Therefore, it is virtually impssible to show you the Wonderland in a 4 minute movie, but we can at least give your some impressions:
