Hi friends,

So I decided to build a historic icon from the City of Miami for GFLUG displays present and future. 

The Freedom Tower had use as a news building, then became sort of Miami's version of Ellis Island for Cubans under Castro regime, and now is preserved and used as an art museum by the nearby Miami-Dade College.

The LTC (LEGO Train Club) benefit is that this building is adjacent to Florida East Coast's Dodge Island Lead, so it's considerably a trackside building.

The MOC was designed in LDD, imported into stud.io where it came up with some really sick render, and made the instructions to do this. LDD's instructions mode is horribly obsolete in comparison, but had its place. 3,800 pcs with about half of the stuck acquired over a five month period... the payoff?... a 3 night build. The front side retains all the detail while the backside, an apparent expansion, was simplified.

Video presentation:

Cheers!
