Description

A lot of "3" original, custom-made miniature SPFX buildings, hand-made under the supervision of James Cameron during the filming of the cult classic motion picture "Escape From New York." Filmed practically by Cameron when he was a SPFX cameraman on the film. Utilized to create simulated computer animated graphics seen by the character "Snake Pliskin" (portrayed by Kurt Russell) on his cockpit viewscreen, as he glides into New York City, which has been turned into a maximum security prison colony. These building miniatures are scarce and quite unique. Used prior to the advent of the sophisticated digital computer technology that Jim Cameron would help usher into the film industry in later years. The buildings range in size from 1.75" tall to 1.25" tall.
