peedeejay Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Hey everyone, wow, it's been a while! I would like to present my latest modular: A modular skyscraper that is the home of “The Daily Stud”, which delivers the latest news throughout the city! This is by far my biggest build and it was also the most challenging one. It also took extremely long from the first digital design to the final build, since I was unable to move a stud for almost 2 years, due to building a real house. ;-) My main challenge was to create a facade, where you don't see at first glance, that the build is modular as well as maintaining stability. Therefore I had to work with outer walls that are 2 bricks thick, which also explains the high part count. The build sits on two standard baseplates, is 107cm high and weighs about 16,2kg. It contains 22.801 pieces and consists of 9 modules. Most of the design was actually finished almost 3 years ago, so quite a bit before LEGO released the Daily Bugle. When that happened I lost the motivation to really finish it, but I finally re-visited it some months ago to finally finish it. The skyscraper has 8 floors, which are fully furnished: Floor 1: Lobby, Front Desk and Waiting Area Floor 2: Restaurant Floor 3: Archives Floor 4: Dark Room and Chill-Out-Area Floor 5: Offices Floor 6: Offices and Restrooms Floor 7: TV-Studio and IT-Room Floor 8: Meeting Room and Main Editors Office As always: Building instructions are available on Rebrickable! All of the pictures and in hires can be found on my flickr account.

jalemac34 Posted June 22, 2023 What a work!!!!! Can't imagine the number of parts.... Superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted June 22, 2023 Incredible. The attention to each detail on the 8 floors is amazing. Does the elevator work, or is it for show? The piece count is insane too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverhurst Posted June 22, 2023 Very nice design and execution! I love how the doubled walls give those really nice window sills. They take up extra space, but take your build to the next level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lion King Posted June 22, 2023 Wow! That’s amazing! I wish Lego could do non-licensed Modular Building skyscraper but we will see. You did a great work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sérgio Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) I spend 45 min looking at all the details! great job!! Edited June 24, 2023 by Sérgio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's 22.801. ;-) On 6/22/2023 at 3:40 PM, wolfmanone73 said: Amazing work. Thank you! On 6/22/2023 at 3:49 PM, Feuer Zug said: Incredible. The attention to each detail on the 8 floors is amazing. Does the elevator work, or is it for show? The piece count is insane too. It doesn't work and is just for show. There is just a big hole that you can look through from the top when you don't have the roof attached to it. ;-) I thought about it, but it's not possible to create one without having it visible from outside and I wanted to keep a clean facade.

Even though we see larger and larger sets, I don't think something like this would happen. Even it were empty, the build would still have roughly 13.000-15.000 pieces and to be perfectly honest, the building experience is quite monotonous for the major parts of the facade. ;-( On 6/24/2023 at 12:49 PM, Sérgio said: I spend 45 min looking at all the details! great job!!

That’s true. But take a look at Daily Bugle set - it has 4 levels, which it’s approx 33 inches tall. All existing Modular Building ses are about inches tall, except for Town Hall (it’s 20 inches tall). I think Modular Building skyscraper would be best with 4 or 5 floors. :) Edited June 26, 2023 by Lion King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
