Take a look at these exquisite clay replicas of Moscow! (PHOTOS) Russia Beyond This Russian artist uses modelling clay to create extraordinarily detailed miniature versions Soviet communal apartments and cobblestone streets with horse trams.
Alexei Mikulin was born in 1962 in central Moscow and enjoyed making sculptures with clay during his school years. He works at a printing house, but in recent years he decided to get back into his old hobby and began making Moscow landscapes and sketches out of clay. He creates tiny tram lines with passengers, old markets, Soviets kiosks and apartments so detailed they even include the tiniest kitchen utensils. His works are very neat and closely resemble real life. Alexei publishes his miniatures on Instagram, and many of his followers get a rush of nostalgia when viewing them.
