Legogal Posted June 26, 2013 Wow! The angular design and colors are really sweet! Looks great in the light and even more awesome in the dark..... lit up. Congrats on a fine creation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted June 27, 2013 This an incredible build. I don't know where to begin: it's futuristic, yet it looks realistic enough to be build in real life today. People could actually work and live n such a building. Incredible job! My hat's off to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rook Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Thanks for front paging this. This MOC set a couple of records for me: Longest time to build… about 300 hours between September and June. Tallest structure I’ve built to date… about 6’6”. First MOC displayed at a Lego Convention. Number of special purchases… about 18. 2-3 Lego.com orders, 3-4 BrickLink orders, 3-4 TLG sets, and half dozen or more Large PaB cups, and finally a whole PaB box of 1x8 white tiles. Most number of pieces in a MOC… not even close to sure guessing maybe 20,000. Number of appearances on The Brothers Brick… looks like four. Two videos about Brickworld, then the tower itself, and Skyskippers that are on its landing pads. And finally the highest of praise: Sean and Steph Mayo using the Butterfly design, that is in the garden area, for one their creations ( http://www.flickr.co...ocy/8535259302/ ).

jimmynick Posted July 1, 2013 Tallest structure I’ve built to date… about 6’6”. It looks so much smaller than that in the photographs, though! The sculpture/statue looks great in the dark - wonderful integrated lighting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rook Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Put the ol' beast on the scale this week. 117 lbs. Robin from Lego Corp guessed about 35,000 pieces. I was thinking about 30,000. Also I’m guessing about 300-350 hours to build. Edited July 16, 2013 by Rook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darque Posted July 17, 2013 Amazingly Awesome Doesn't Even Come Close To Discribing How Truely Amazinly Awesome This Is! I Love It! Very Well Done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sid Sidious Posted July 17, 2013 Put the ol' beast on the scale this week. 117 lbs. Robin from Lego Corp guessed about 35,000 pieces. I was thinking about 30,000. Also I’m guessing about 300-350 hours to build. I usually use 300 to 500 pieces per pound in a MOC, so 35000 sounds about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
