Today: miniature NY High Line in Gulliver's Gate miniature world
“The New York City exhibit celebrates scale and reveals the busy street life of our urban landscape New York City, the first stop on your tour through Gulliver’s Gate, will set the stage for all to come. We challenged our artists to interpret their region, as they see it. The model makers that built New York wanted to create a “city of light.” The skyscrapers are represented as pillars of light — illuminating the brilliance, vibrancy and jaw-dropping height of this great town.
Look for all the major landmarks from the Empire State Building, to Central Park, to the Staten Island Ferry Building. Not only model train lovers will delight in our version of Grand Central Station — it is sliced open to allow you to see three levels of transit at the same time – cars, commuter trains, and the subway system, as well as the main concourse. Can you spot the tightrope walker between the chandeliers?
More than a city of great sights, New York is a city of great people. Our NYC model focuses on the city’s most vital asset — the people that live, visit, and move about town each day, making for some of the most colorful street life on earth. Can you spot the firefighters high-fiving each other as they rescue a cat from a tree, trapeze artists swinging on a flying trapeze, a grafitti artist tagging a wall, and a man cracking a safe in the Met Life Building?”

Are you in the U.S.A. and wish there was a Miniatur Wunderland just a bit closer than Germany? I sure have. And you see that guy in the pic above? He's trying to make it real. His name is Eiran Gazit and he's trying to build an interactive, expansive (40,000 sqaure feet!) miniature model in Manhattan. Yes, New York City! So close you guys!
Please consider donating to this Kickstarter (click on Mr. Gazit's picture above) and you can even get your body scanned and have a 3D mini of yourself placed somewhere in the model!!! I'm super excited about all the interactivity they want to have with this model, and I hope some of you can help make it happen.
