Dingbat apartment buildings are so commonplace in LA, that most people don’t stop to think about how their presence has shaped the identity of Los Angeles. Therefore, I felt like these iconic buildings were deserving of joining my catalog of miniatures.

Sound Stage 16 on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank was built in 1935 and, in the same year, raised 30ft to accommodate a huge musical number. More recently, the stage has been used for countless cinematic classics like Jurassic Park, The Goonies, My Fair Lady and Ghostbusters!

We had Milford Sound to ourselves. Without the noise of cars going by or bus loads of tourists, it was nothing but the sound of rivers, waterfalls and mountain air.
If you live in New Zealand and haven't been, GO NOW! You will never be able to experience it like this again.
