Hi there, everyone!  Over the weekend I made some super-tiny scale New York
City landmarks. Each is no more than a few inches tall... I made the
CitiGroup Center, the Empire State Building, the UN, and the Woolworth Building.


The Citigroup Center has a recessed plaza, St. Peter's church, and an
underground subway line:

The Empire State Building was inspired by (and modeled after) Rick Ruiz's
mini Empire State.  I added the "red white and blue" nighttime lighting, and
modified the base a bit from his design:

(Rick's model was uploaded recently, and can be found here:

The UN Plaza has the Secretariat building, the General Assembly building
with its dome roof, lots of flagpoles, and the recessed highway underneath:

The Woolworth building was a quickie, just a simple rendition of the classic
skyscraper:

The folder has additional pictures of my models, plus real-life photos:

Hope you like them.  I really had fun building these mini-models, and I'll
probably add to this collection with some more buildings soon.
