here is a guide on how to achieve that effect (making things look like small miniature models)

The secret? Just make everything blurry.

The effect has been copied a bit too much in the past (by me as well).
If you want to find something original, search for "Myklos Gaal". He's been doing this before it was hip, and he's not using photoshop, but a large-format-camera and a real tilt-shift lens.

Go to his exhibitions, his prints are *very* large.

Sorry, it's "Miklos Gaal", not "Myklos Gaal".
