A pair of model miniature buildings from John Carpenter's sci-fi action film Escape from New York. Miniature buildings were used throughout the film to create extensive and detailed shots of Manhattan. Several different scales were used for different angles, and these particular models were created for an overhead shot, when Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) flew the glider over the city.

Both models are constructed from panels of plastic board. They feature translucent plastic windows, with non-functioning grain-of-wheat bulbs hidden inside. One model appears to be a four-storey office building, while the other is a five-storey hospital complete with paper red cross banners. The pair show wear from production and further damage to the windows and structure from their time spent in storage. Dimensions (office building): 47.5 cm x 22 cm x 12 cm (18 3/4" x 8 1/2" x 4 3/4"); (hospital building): 44 cm x 29 cm x 16 cm (17 1/4" x 11 1/2" x 6 1/4")

Estimate: £3,000 - 5,000 M
