Mike B offers me further proof that he is in fact possesed by the vagrant soul of Derek Meddings, and the Century 21 studios have dropped through a temporal flux and appeared in his garden shed.
These stunning shots are taken in his garden using toys and models and without the need for a purpose built diorama. Special effects are simply some smoke from a little burning paper out of shot and the careful use of natural features such as moss and heather.
