Make New York Your Own!

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]
