Very cool! Reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all time, "Them".

Thats really cool. How big is that? What scale are those ants? And how did you make the city and little people?

Did the human colony start out as a Ferrero Rocher container?

Thanks for the comments.

Did the human colony start out as a Ferrero Rocher container?

As a matter of fact that's exactly what it is.

The people are 1/350th figures from Eduard.  The buildings and railings are made up from scrap pieces and left over ship parts, as well as the observatory at the top of the structure.  The missile is from the Hasegawa F-106 or 102, the waterfall is wire covered with Elmaer's glue and the statue in the park is a game piece of a Narn Warrior.

If you look at the one ant he's wearing a fake leg (because part of the leg was lost to the floor monster).  The replacement part was a ship's crane.

Thats really cool. I was gonna ask about that one ants leg. How big is that ferrero roche container? How big are the ants? Did you make the ants yourself or are they a kit?

Maybe could you post a picture with something for scale referance like a coin or ruler? 

Sorry for all the questions, this is just too cool.
