There's a surreal quality to those photos... like miniature models as you say. Did you do anything special to get that appearance? As a once very keen photographer with limited digital skills, I'm intrigued! Technial details please

It's all done in photoshop.
You add some fake lens blur so it looks like a Macro photo (very limited depth of field). Then you increase colour saturation (as models are normally painted bright colours).
Lastly increase the contrast.

I wanted to have a go after seeing this music video:
