Everybody has a hobby. Most of the time, people don’t want to hear about it — sure, you might find Warhammer 40k fascinating, but most people don’t have the time or interest in hearing several encyclopedia’s worth of lore!

Regardless, there are some hobbies that transcend interest — the ones where you see them and can’t help but exclaim, “Holy shit!” This guy has one of them: building a scale replica of New York.

My God, is it beautiful.

this guy spent 21 years building a miniature version of nyc consisting of almost a million buildings, the full model is 50 feet long and 30 feet wide, and he first announced it on tiktok like this: pic.twitter.com/JShpYt5AB5
