The 50's in the US... or not?

I so, so love those old pictures from the US during the 50's... But these...
Not only these were taken nowadays, but moreover, they actually are 1/24^th scale models!
They're made by Michael Paul Smith, whose working process you can see here. Quite impressive... More pictures to see on his Flickr and SmugMug sets.
