I believe it is Light Yellow

Here's a similar view of the real building

As much as I hate the roof of that building, you did a great job with it!

The Lego store in the mall there has a model of the towers, it's honestly not very good. You would have done a much better job.

The tops of the ones at Legoland Malaysia don't look right. Not sure how that happens with a model built on such a large scale.

Looking great. You need two yellow tower cranes as was the case during actual construction.

Not yet. I just moved to The Seattle area. They have a lug here. The local brickcon is later this month. I'll decide then after I meet some of the members in person.

United Nations Headquarters by Spencer_R, on Flickr

Updated the color of the facades on my United Nations HQ model with the trans-light blue found in the LEGO Architecture UN set.

Wow, what a difference that made in making the model brighter!

Brickworld 2014



I will, once again, be displaying my collection of microscale skyscraper models at Brickworld in Chicago. Public days are June 14 & 15. More information about the event can be found on the Brickworld Chicago website.

This year, I will have thirty-one skyscraper models on display, including one all-new model that will have been a year in-the-making, featuring perhaps the most interesting geometry of any of my models. Guesses are welcome! (Except you Spencer, because I'm pretty sure you know which one it is )

Now that would be interesting! Sadly though, I haven't thought of a decent way to pull it off just yet...
