Myst series co-creator Robyn Miller (aka Tinselman) made good use of the fake tilt shift method I posted earlier.
I've been hard at work on my scale model of early Disneyland and I'm now finally ready to reveal it. You will most definetely be impressed!… until you learn that my scale model is only a quick photoshop cheat. But it sure is fun!

Some fellow flickr users and I who were jazzed by your original post on boing boing put together a flickr group for tilt-shift miniature fakes. We now have 43 photos in the pool and 20 posters, and it's cool to see what teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy effects others are coaxing out of simple blurring in Photoshop!

Also, my personal collection
of miniatures (mainly from my trips to China and later Italy this summer.

Hey! thanks for that post on the photoshop tutorial. Made me wish I
could work photoshop real bad. But some of my work buddies can, and
created some great images.I had posted on my blog about this guy earlier this month, and began to think
about how to take the immense library of oblique imagery we were
capturing from planes and 'miniaturize' them in this way. What
Barbieri is doing is really expensive for each shot he gets. The
tutorial you posted, along with a random birds eye image makes a
really nice poor-man's compromise. In the end, it makes me want to
get good with Photoshop even more!
