Reviews

Excellent!! I love it!! I have been looking everywhere for a good, cheap 3D model of NYC for a 9/11 docudrama I am doing. This model (although untextured) had everything I needed for the film. Thank you heaps!! Five Stars!!PS. You might want to change the height of the ESB and the Rockefeller Center... I believe the ESB aerial came to half-way up the WTC aerial, and Rockefeller a bit below the Observation level of the ESB.
