Miniaturist Hubert Lengdorfer makes his mind-blowing models from scratch using just cardboard, paper, paint, and pencils. Were his hand not in the occasional photo for scale, I would have a really hard time believing they were taken anywhere other than a full-sized Victorian house.
“I live in a very small country Austria Salzburg. It is very beautiful here but I would love to share my artwork with the world! I make small houses and rooms without plan (no kid) from cardboard and paper. All what you see in the Pictures is made by myself! I love to build Victorian houses. And antique stuff. I really love what I do I Need for one model approximately 320 hours. I also use no scale for my miniatures I only work with my eyes and Feelings.”
– Hubert Lengdorfer
Lengdorfer’s work is so meticulous, he even draws miniscule replicas of famous works of art to decorate his little walls. No wonder his projects take so long!

He certainly does! I think he must have grown up in a painted lady.

Wow wow wow! These miniatures are among the best I have ever seen. it is not just the precision with which they have been created but also the attention to detail with things like surface texture and patina.

Yes to all of that! I have had the good fortune to live in a couple of these houses and to visit many more, and were it not for the giant hand, I would have believed them real.

Thereβs a permanent exhibit of exceptional miniature rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago (I canβt for the life of me remember the woman who did them right now). These remind of me of them.

He must have a lot of photographs to work from. I find it hard to believe that all of them came out of his mind without photos. Amazing work. Just for the record, I turned 81 yesterday = 6/9 — No, I don’t need a bunch of Happy Birthday’s – Hal
