Thanks, and you're right about the panel! Also can't use the current version 87552 because of the side supports, but I guess you guessed that! And yeah the inside is pretty mad, as refined as I can make it but it still looks chaotic. I fully refined the internals as I'll be making instructions for it later. The reason... I walked past, looked up at the slopes on the sides and thought "I know what piece that is"

This one took a while! It's a replica of the Cheesegrater car park in Sheffield UK. Lots of fiddling and cheeky techniques to get the offsets and angles working right on this one, particularly on the sloped sections on the roof. Took around 1'500 parts. Really happy with how it turned out Also for comparison, here's a Google Maps link to the real thing: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Genting+Casino/@53.3772174,-1.4692699,71a,35y,359.05h,68.53t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487982823208f455:0x71b2e27f016462f9!8m2!3d53.378439!4d-1.4689651!16s/g/1hhmv0hrl Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr Sheffield Cheesegrater Building by BobKickflip, on Flickr

Thanks! The wires in the foot are a cosmetic detail from the original:

No lights, I don't think there's any on the original though. The liftarms are regular ones painted chrome as I couldn't get the different lengths uniformly in flat silver and pearl light grey, but I'll be buying some chromed ones from custombricks.nl.

Been occasionally lurking these forums for a few years but this is my first post. Finally got this finished this after two years development. Decided I had to build a Lego ED-209 something like 8 years ago, and it was the trigger for getting out of my dark ages. But aside from a few test builds a couple of years later (which weren’t great as I didn’t have the skills or the collection at that point) I didn’t really pick up the project until late 2019. Waiting turned out to be a blessing, as there’s essential parts in there that weren’t available back then, including quite a few that were released while I was working on it! Just wanted to build one at first and didn't plan for it to be this detailed, but as it gradually got that way I went all in. It’s a pretty dense build, over 2’400 parts, 10.5” high and weighs 1.3kg. Took a lot of designing and redesigning to get everything as accurate and stable as possible. There’s multiple sections and details that I didn’t think would be possible to represent well in brick form, but at this point, there’s barely any compromises I’ve had to make and every bit is as good as I think I can get it now! Could only attach one pic (prob cause first post) but there's more on my Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/93346883@N03/with/51706981298/
