As you can see, the miniatures aren’t actually that small…
In fact, the better term to call these models is bigatures.
A huge amount of time and effort went into creating these pieces.
The attention to detail shown is nothing short of incredible.
The L.A.P.D building came in at 4.5 meters high.
We would never have guessed that many of the scenes were using models rather than just CGI.
We would certainly class these bigatures as works of art.
