Ever wish you could just build your own New York City? Now you can! Sort of. Wurlington Brothers Press has created a series of Build Your Own New York postcards "which can be cut and assembled into miniature paper models of prominent New York landmarks." They note some inspiration from Geoffrey Heighway's Micromodels, circa the 1950s. Each card comes with instructions and a history of the landmark—they've included everything from the Empire State Building to Grant's Tomb, but we sort of love the subway car best. They even offer up some free models—but what buildings are missing? [via Kottke]




Give me Redbird, or give me death!
Cool, I'll get an F train model and, to steal another commenter's phrase, Imma pee on it.
F train will probably take forever to build, if anything liek wait time on the B'way-Lafayette platform.

This is great. I've already sent it on to all my bitter non-NY friends.

Does it come with little station agents that ignore the little rapists?
