Midtown Manhattan Made of Electronic Parts

It's always a good day when you turn this much trash into a treasure. Zayd Menk spent three months constructing a scale model of Midtown Manhattan in his free time after school. He built it out of discarded electronic components: circuits, relays, motherboards, and whatever else fit the bill. It's big, too. The finished landscape is 165x80cm (5'5" x 32"), and the tallest building is 10.6 inches tall. If you know Midtown well, you'll want to check out his accuracy by the closeup views from different angles in this Flickr album. See more of Menk's work, including a video of this project, at Instagram. -via reddit
