"Diorama Artist Hank Cheng's Collection" is a new book encompassing the work of miniature model artist Hank Cheng. For those of you unbeknown to Frank's work it might surprise you to know you may have well seen it before, but not made the connection.
Hank Cheng is a Taiwanese artist who creates realistic miniature models of streets scenes, restaurants, and even dystopian wastelands. Cheng started to create small-scale models three years ago. His first model was based on a Japanese restaurant he used to visit while studying there.
Since then, Cheng has been challenging himself to produce smaller and more difficult models. Although the work is labour-intensive – many objects have to be created from scratch and involve 12 hours a day in the workshop.
Each of Cheng's creations carries a theme: example -  a room of a boy who's obsessed with Japanese manga, a dystopian wasteland, a midnight canteen, a miniature rendition of his own room, a scene inspired by the Japanese science fiction franchise Gundam.
All of his recent finest works are in this book, 192pages, full of colour photographs and dual English/ Chinese languages, it explains a lot about the scene, the process and the meaning behind the models themselves...
