Thank you for the comment.

I probably will not build anything significant in the next few months. I got kind of burned-out getting everything finished for the July 2007 NMRA National Train Show. I have not touched any Lego since then except to fill a few sales from my store on bricklink.com.

I do want to build again eventually and my next few buildings may be the rest of the structures in the Penobscot block. These are:
1. Ford Building (1909, Daniel Burnham, 19 stories)
2. Penobscot Annex (1913, Donaldson & Meier, 23 stories)
3. Peoples State Bank (1900, McKim, Mead, and White, 2 stories)

Eventually I want to build the crown jewel of Detroit architecture - the amazing 40 story Art Deco Guardian Building (1929). Unfortunately I estimate that it would cost at least $5,000 to build in Lego!

By the way Austin55, the builder of the WTC model is another member of the Michigan Lego User Group. The attention to detail in that model is amazing.
