The Miniature World of Nikolai Aldunin

To say Nikolai Aldunin is a master of miniatures, would be an understatement. His work leaves me speechless and that is why I decided to share it with you. Master Microminiature Aldunin Nikolai was born September 1, 1956 in the village of South Lamovatka Voroshilovgradskoy area. From his childhood he fell in love with metallurgy. Growing up he dived deeper and deeper into metal and it’s secrets, eventually creating these miniatures and becoming famous for them. Although majority if his pieces have been sold, there are some pieces of his work that are simply priceless, which will be placed in a new meusuem being built for Nikolai in Moscow. I can’t even begin to imagine how he does all of this and the patience, talent you need to be accomplish something even close to what he has. Bravo!

This is a gold tank which rests on the open face of a sliced apple seed.

The answer to his pesronal question, “How many camels can pass through the eye of a needle?”  Seven.

Nikolai worked for six months to create this gold AK-47. It consists of 34 individual parts.
