    Well done!

    That's the way real architects do it!

    It's definitely trans-light blue. Sorry, I was referring to swapping out the trans-dark blue that I used on my UN MOC that I built last year. (Yes, my version is large enough to feature the flags ) Brick City by Spencer_R, on Flickr

    It's going to be cool when I swap out all the trans-dark blue with trans light blue in my custom UN model.

    Trans light blue plates?

    It's a little smaller than that. The footprint is 11 x 11 studs and the overall height is about 30in (76cm). It is designed to be the same scale as my other buildings.

    I've finished my latest skyscraper model, the Shanghai World Financial Center. Click on the Flickr Set for more images. Shanghai World Financial Center by Spencer_R, on Flickr

    I wouldn't give Wange's design group too much credit. In fact, they've shamelessly copied a lot from my Burj Al Arab and Taipei 101 models.

    We've had a long running thread over at Skyscraperpage.com, although there are only handful of builders regularly posting.

    851 Tractor I was mesmerized by those large rear tires. Never did get that set though

    Is this an image from the article? I had it saved on my hard drive for several years, but I can't remember exactly where online I originally found it (note it says scanned by Dino?)

    Really nice looking set, I'll probably pick this one up. Also - not done by the same designer as Big Ben.

    I really like this. Nice job.

    Centers of Lower Manhattan, on Flickr Here's the finished product as we displayed it at Brickworld 2012.

    One last thing to add to this thread. My friend Rocco has just finished a model of the World Financial Center, which is located right across the street from the World Trade Center site. It is built to the same 1/650th scale as my WTC. We've been collaborating together so that the models can be properly joined alongside their common boundary. Stay tuned to see a 40,000+ piece microscale slice of lower Manhattan unveiled later this summer at Brickworld.

    I built a set of sixteen triangular wedges and attached them as pairs back-to-back using various techniques to create eight faces. The four vertical faces are attached to an internal core. The four sloping faces nestle tightly in between the four vertical faces. As a basic concept, it wasn't too difficult to pull off. However, the real work was in the month or two I spent refining the common edges using trans-clear 1x1x2 panels and cheese slopes to reduce the visual gaps. That process was pure trial-n-error.

    Roughly 2 plates per floor. One stud is about 16.7ft in my "scale", so 2 plates in height is 13.3ft which is reasonably close to the typical floor-to-floor height for commercial office space.

    They are still all together. It's starting to get difficult to bring them all to events due to the setup and teardown times involved. Here's all of them together last year. Since this photo I have built four more models, including this new WTC model.

    Thanks for all the supportive comments guys. It will be displayed at Brickworld Chicago this summer.
