A motorbiking model enthusiast has recreated iconic Scottish locations in incredible 3D sets.
Tony Gillanders, from Glasgow, has spent years depicting his favourite spots from across the country in miniature form.
The 49-year-old takes inspiration from his motorbike travels and hits of Scottish cinema to produce the scaled down models.
His creations include everything from bustling Glasgow street scenes to the quiet beauty of the Highlands.
The driving instructor says it is a great way to spend his time while he cannot work.
Tony explained: “The small dioramas are only a couple of feet long so probably take about 30 to 35 hours each.
“The actual railway layouts take up a small bedroom so take months or even a year or two.”
The sets are all produced at OO Gauge, or a ratio of 1:76, but this doesn’t stop Tony from going into impressive detail.
He said: “I tour Scotland on my motorbike and if somewhere looks good to model, I try to get a good panoramic photo on my iPhone to get printed off as a back scene.
“This gives depth to the layouts and hopefully makes them recognisable.
“I choose areas where I know I can get suitable trains, buses and other vehicles for, again for some realism.
“My favourite road on the motorbike is Fort William to Mallaig so it was a no-brainer modelling the Viaduct.”
He also produces scenes closer to home, including a view from his kitchen window and Glasgow’s Aikenhead Road and Pollokshaws Road.
He has even paid tribute to the silver screen, with scenes modelled from two of his favourite films: Restless Natives and Local Hero.
Tony hopes to tackle the “stunning scenery” of the NC500 route next.
His creations so far have blown away social media users, since Tony decided to post them on Facebook yesterday.
Graeme Cowan said: “It is all magnificent.”
John Maclennan added: “Wow, in some you have to look closely to see which is the model.”
And Carol Bannister wrote: “These are absolutely amazing Tony, what a talent."
