Although he had intended to stop there, he realized he was hooked. “Then the next day, I built another one,” he tells CBS News’ Steve Hartman. “And then I built another one.” Macken kept building for more than two decades. He worked his way through Manhattan and began work on the other boroughs. He made 320 sections—each representing about a square mile of New York—with wooden buildings, painted parks and tiny artificial trees. When he ran out of room at home, he rented a storage unit.
