Take a look at how Weta Workshop built the set of Blade Runner 2049 in this fascinating behind-the-scenes series. Each miniature set is built on a perfect 48th scale. The sets are incredibly detailed with features like micro graffiti and carefully exacted signs of urban decay. Weta Workshop, the team responsible for miniature models in other big budget productions like Lord of the Rings and Thor, spent countless hours creating these miniature sets. To get an idea of how much time goes into a project like this, consider that each building in this fictional LA skyline takes about a week to make. For this particular set, the team built thirty-seven buildings. Keep scrolling for more photos and check out the Weta Workshop Facebook page for more behind-the-scenes trivia.
