You can find a most interesting store selling sculptures of 1/6th scale people in Colorado Springs. Michael Garman is the sculptor. He has created models of all sorts of professions ranging from pilots to electric linemen.
He has then incorporated these models into 1/6th scale representations of cities called "Magic Town". Much of what he has created portrays the 'earthy' side of a city. The models are made in such a way as to allow you to peer into the upper windows of the buildings and see what is going on in the rooms.
Clever use of two way mirrors set at 45 degree angles makes the views change based on lighting. This offers two views of the same room and changing views of the alleys behind the buildings. Holograms have live figures taking throughout the layout.
