Joseph Macken, a 63-year-old truck driver from upstate New York, has built an impressive 50-by-30-foot scale model of New York City in his basement over 21 years. The miniature features hundreds of thousands of buildings across all five boroughs, including major landmarks. Constructed from balsa wood, Styrofoam, and glue, the model can be disassembled into 350 sections. After his TikTok videos went viral, Macken displayed his work at the Cobleskill Fairgrounds, with potential plans for a Museum of the City of New York exhibit.
