In December of 2015, I shared with you the first collection of The Amazing Minuatures by Ken Rouet. And in September 2016, we had More Amazing Miniatures. Since then, Ken has been adding more shots in the comments of the first post, so it’s time to share them with you too. So welcome back to “New-Wark”.
The Amazing Minuatures by Ken Rouet
More Amazing Miniatures by Ken Rouet
Ten year old me just had a heart attack. I can’t be the only kid who watched Mr. Rogers for the opening credits.
That or for those living in the Great White North, the Friendly Giant.;-)

Well, that was a trip back to long ago.
Lol I don’t remember this scene but I do remember him and the famous line look up waaay up
I loved the show but that was one of my favourite parts even on the show sometimes going to various places bakery or music shop was neat seeing what the buildings were
He showed the set that was used for the opening scene too I saw that on YouTube I think it was in one of the shows
We also had a HO scale train set still have the stuff from it
Same here – though my immediate thought was that even Gerry Anderson’s crew could not have done it any better!
Too bad there isn’t a “like” button, because the starting of Mr. Rogers was the best part, I wanted to play with that set.
Get that 1965 Pontiac away from the dumpster fire!
I know I’m stating the obvious by saying this, but these are truly remarkable and a real work of art. I’m in awe of the time and talent it took to create these car models and scenic layouts.
Here’s my attempt at the same thing, done when I was in high school:
I still can’t believe he has a x-100 Marauder in minature!
You can’t even find them in real life!
If I’m reincarnated can I come back and live in New-Wark?
Mail for mister Bill Shields.
– Of course Mister Bill when you will be réincarnated you can come to live in New-Wark and you will ride in X100 Marauder Mercury.

– It’s over for the Marauders… so long and thanks you for reading me.
Thank you for the detailed pictures! This has made my weekend!?
I am amazed at the detail in these miniatures. It looks like some of those models may be Neo cars. They make quite a variety of American models many of which are genuine CCs. I noticed the 72 Torinos in a couple of shots which is a Neo model I have (mine is red). The quality and craftsmanship are top notch but they are quite pricey.

Wow
Brake lights. Brake lights, What a neat touch!
Ha! I didn’t notice that the first time. Very cool. Good selection of films at the theater, too.
Did Cadillac ever build the ambulances with suicide doors? I never notice that detail until I see the models of two Cadillac ambulances.
If you want to get technical about it, Cadillac never built an ambulance of any kind. What they did build was a commercial chassis that various coachbuilders
bought and then built professional cars upon.
Suicide doors were a hallmark of Superior products, and much more common on hearses than ambulances. Some were built, however.
For the record, the Fleetwood 75 Limousine WAS factory built by Cadillac.
Yes, thanks for pointing out the mistake in my comment. I meant to write if Cadillac ever built the cars (rather than ambulances) with suicide doors in the 1960s and 1970s. Perhaps it did for the livery specialists…
Once again, the answer is no. Cadillac hasn’t built a suicide door car since the 1958 Eldorado Brougham.
It’s a little intriguing that Cadillac built a commercial vehicle at all. You’d think GM would view that as “diluting the brand image,” in modern marketing-speak. I suppose if you have to be in an ambulance at all, though, it’s reassuring to be in the top of the line.
Cadillac and other lux brands had a long tradition of providing chassis for custom bodies. When luxury brands were significantly bigger and more powerful than common Fords and Chevys, they were also the best choices for ambulances. It probably didn’t damage the brand, because they were big, expensive, life-saving vehicles, not utilitarian delivery vehicles. Ambulances were built from Cadillac platforms because they were big and fast. That’s a very good image.
Ambulances were Cadillac’s form of motorsport. 🙂
These are beautiful! I like the “Starsky and Hutch” car that pops up in a couple of pictures, and what is interesting is the lack of VWs and Japanese cars in these streetscapes. What scale are these models in again? Nevertheless, it’s an amazing display, very realistic.
Hi Bajan Dave
– All cars are at 1/43 scale.
-It is true that there are no Japanese cars, however there are some VW, Ford Capri, SAAB, Renault, Peugeot,
– I have never liked compact silly, without charm and grace and majesty, which is the case for large American sedan who have always fascinated me.

Where can someone find these models, I want that Chrysler Town & Country wagon.
