LEGO Architecture New York City: Super Sized by Spencer_R, on Flickr
Since I had already built The Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center… I thought: Why Not?
Here is my version of the LEGO Architecture 21028 NYC set, supersized to 1/650th scale.
Sears and Marina City are a given for Chicago. Technic gears will probably be used for the latter. John Hancock Center is likely, but not the stepped design found in the original version. Somebody built a nice architecture set sized version that tapered in one direction a few years ago.
I don't know if TLG would want to touch the Trump name, or pay out licensing royalties to their organization.
I'm excited to be getting a "Chicago" printed tile that I can add to my custom landmark mocs.
I've finished my latest 1/650th scale skyscraper model, the famous Seagram Building in New York City

Here's my latest: I.M. Pei's Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong.
Roughly 1/650th scale. The tower footprint is only ~10x10 studs.
As a bonus, I built a second model as a structural demonstrator to illustrate with color the different internal structural systems used in the MOC.
