Flowing City

A drop of water turns into a flood on this micro-city coaster. Here, the city of taipei, taiwan is re-sized into a coaster.

Condensation from the cup slowly floods the city. The water first fills up the river and slowly works its way into the narrower streets and alleys. Enjoy the view from above!

Insane! That definitely required a great deal of patience and time, so its no surprise that both maps are one-of-a-kind. The NYC one is sold for $550 while the Paris one is for $250.
