12/30/2023 0 Comments Lego skyscraper layout![]() Also, I have digitally modeled a really nice El track that would make the Loop (a prerequisite, obviously), so after that it's a very simply grid system (with a few quirks) and a whole lotta buildings. It would probably be a 5-year-long project for me, but I am definitely willing to put that amount of time into it. Yes, I definitely want to do a Loop model if I can manage it. If time and money permits, you should see if you can do the Loop as well as the area immediately around the river. The cornice looks great-I can't wait to see it completed (not too much longer, no?).ġajs, that first picture with the crane hovering overhead is wicked cool. As long as you give credit and are linking to an image that is on a photo hosting site there should be no problem. You can then select the image button from the forum post tools and paste the URL. (you can also select "Copy image location" to get the URL in one step). If you find a image that you want to show that is not yours, you can get the URL for just the image by right-clicking on the image and selecting "View image" - it will appear by itself and you can grab the URL from the address bar. Daniel Burnham who is credited with the design died in 1912.Ĭreator: about the image, no problem. ![]() Construction began in 1907 and it was completed in 1909. The Ford Building is usually described as a Chicago School design with classical/Italian renaissance detailing. This is my tallest non-Art Deco LEGO skyscraper model. My Ford Building Model is nearing completion: If time and money permits, you should see if you can do the Loop as well as the area immediately around the river. I like your Chicago plans, I think you are right - once you get a large enough area of the city done, it will look very impressive. To answer an earlier question, this building will break down into 5 sections so it can be transported to train shows and other displays. Here is an update on my Ford Building construction: Its a large 40 story building and Dark Orange is not a common LEGO color. I would like to build a model of the Guardian Building, but the cost may be prohibitive. I guess I will have to start putting watermarks or copyright notices on my photos! It looks like photobucket user Roadster99 "borrowed" a photo I took from my brickshelf account: I got 3800 blue 1x2's coming though so that will be my ally walls ectĪnyhow i build a crain tonight for this thing still need to work out the boom design bit but i got a counter weight design and on it 9to 2cents a peac for my red bricks witch i need to stalk up on again The one ones are costing me arond 2.5 cents each with shiping.Īww i would have to go out and buy out every stores suplyĪs for redish brown those arnt very common either and are around 8cents a peac witch i am paying. Yea its just read with trans red bricks in the windows Is the exterior red or red-brown? (its hard for me to tell given the lighting in your photographs). However, certain colors are uncommon or even rare and can cost quite a bit more. I think Vid means that instead of buying red and blue, you could have bought other colors. The great thing about the Brick & all of our unique imaginations is that this can be used to make all of us better builders and challenge our skills further. ![]() Uniformity (throughout the entire line)Įach model represents a learning lesson about Architecture, had we went with something like the one-sided tapering form, people would not understand that the building actually narrows to both opposing directions, while that model does look better, the issue of inconsistancy may have out-weighed the aesthetics in this particular case. ![]() Internal Standards (preset building rules & construction methods)Ĥ. The design we ended up with was based on a great deal of factors that may be overlooked by most reading this. As an AFOL that works just fine, but transitioning to the masses is an entirely different world, unfortunately. Models like Spencers or even my large models are very costly use rare elements and sometimes use unorthodoxed building techniques. The LA line is about half scale to what you have done with your models.īasically, economics does play a large role. That version does look great! I actually had a design pretty close to yours originally when I started scaling down my large skyscrapers into the minis.
