Models

Alberto Ortego builds 3D models and then does 2D paintings of the sets. They're set in the 50s but I get a strong Raymond Carver vibe from them, especially High Noon (above).

Here's Ortega with one of his models:

Hannah Levesque makes very detailed custom paper architectural models.

Many more photos on Levesque's site, including close-ups and interior details. Wonderful stuff. There, you can order a custom job, or even purchase a DIY kit.
