Hey Sean,
This is way cool! The figs actually look to me like theyre ice skating, which
suggests an ice rink as a possible MOC. Perhaps the Brick Apple could use a
Rockefeller Plaza creation?
Im curious, when a work like this is commissioned for an event, what happens to
it after the event is done? Will the healthcare organization display it in a
company headquarters somewhere? Or do they return it to you? Of course, since
you glued the bricks you cant break it back down into component pieces.

Thats funny... my inspiration for this was from a magnetic-based ice skating
rink that my father has on his LGB model railroad. It works basically the same
way.
I had to try to get the minifigs center-of-gravity towards the back of the
magnet to prevent them from spinning as they walked. It worked most of the
time, but as you can see in the little animation, that old guy was walking
backwards and swirling around a lot. :)

LOL! Not a bad idea :) I havent built any New York related models in quite a
while, maybe its time. :)

Most of the time, the client wants to keep the model -- theyre really big and
cool looking, so they make great talking pieces or displays for their lobbies.
In this case, they also plan on using the model at future events.
If a customer doesnt want to keep the model or only needs it for a short event,
Ill usually skip gluing it and re-use the parts on a later project. Gluing is
really only useful for two things: longevitiy, and/or safe shipping.
