From a discarded milk carton on China Archivesthe ground, to slightly worn-out posters, the details on Joshua Smith's models are so realistic it's hard to believe they're not real.
Smith, a miniaturist, has been creating tiny intricate models of dilapidated buildings and objects around the world for the past two years.

“I created the entire building using nothing but Google Street View and reference photos taken by friends visiting Hong Kong as well as Hong Kong-based followers sending me photos,” Smith told news outlet HKFP.
