The Taiwanese artist creates dioramas that feature everyday life and the fantastical. Some are so small they’ll fit in the palm of your hand.
Cheng works in multiple scales; creating dilapidated urban streets and buildings, and tiny living spaces with tons of handmade details. If you think 28mm is difficult to work with try 1:150th scale.
You can keep up with his work on Instagram – he posts works in progress as well as his completed dioramas in the settings that inspired them. I’m most impressed by the small (literally) details he creates for rooms and shops – the newspapers, teapots, food wrappers, boxes, bags, and books. All recognizable with images and labels.
