1:43rd Scale model of the McFly house from Back to the Future

I was thrilled to create a one of a kind piece. The iconic home of Marty Mcfly, seen in all three movies.
As someone that does not live in California I based myself mostly on movie stills and photos from fans that have visited the location.
The scene I chose to create was the famous scene at the end of part one, which was also re-shot for the beginning of part two.

Even zoomed in, that grass looks good.

Truly a piece of miniature art. The attention to detail is just superb. A great subject Back To The Future. Id say if you photgraph this outdoor under natural light it would look very realistic. But it does look it as shown in this video. An amazing work of art. I wish i could do that.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Thank you! Check out the photos on my website. Some were taken outside.

@@David_Miniatures what is your web site? You probably mentioned it but I didn't listen. To busy admiring this little diarama. As for the car I didn't notice if scale is correct or not. To me it's fine.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

Thank you so much

This looks absolutely amazing! Great! How much time did it take to make that model (from idea over planning to building)? How much was the material and how much money did it finally make at the auction? I have no idea, how to measure the "real" value (material+time), but my guess for the auction would be 1000 dollars +. What i would love to see is the "town square" especially from 1955 and 2015 with all the buildings (café, record shop, car detailing, gas station, cinema, town hall etc.) surrounding it. In 1985 it was just a parking lot, also there would have to be two versions (normal/alternate). Either as a model (somewhere from toy car size, ca. 1:64 up to ca. 1:18) and not in "crappy" Lego style or as "walking simulator" game or even in VR...

I typically do not discuss pricing of any kind in comments but since this was many years ago and it’s available publicly if you look for it it ended up selling for 5000$. Art is subjective and so it’s the cost. It’s not about material costs and your hours but the name of the artist, their experience and reputation. Also if the piece is a one off or not. Things like that.

I'd love to see you do a tutorial for some 1:24 scale dioramas to display the Welly 1:24 Diecasts.

[@David_Miniatures]

Next time someone orders one with a Welly I’ll be sure to do so. In the mean time I have a 4 part series on how I made Hildale with a Welly in my Instagram.
