Posted July 13, 201311 yr In 2011, I was built this Sydney Opera House for City Plaza, and this year, my team LegendBricks and me was invited by City Plaza again and we hosted a show " ".I picked the topic "Toronto CN Tower", here are some photos of it, enjoy! Video Picking before site setup Light effect building Rogers Centre How component fit together(The joint of bottom pictures was revised in final version) Tried many times to make the curve...

July 13, 201311 yr That looks incredible! I think you've done a great job in capturing the curves and top platform details. How long do it take to design and build?, and, how many bricks does it contain? Thanks for sharing it with us!
July 13, 201311 yr Toronto resident here (well, GTA, close enough), well done on capturing one of our landmarks. Bothers me that they changed the name to Rogers Centre but they did do a good job of renovating the stadium.
July 13, 201311 yr Looks good! I am from Toronto, and it is very rare to see someone make a MOC of the tower. The tower could be taller, as it looks out of proportion, but that's understandable as it would be too tall to stand. Also, the buildings are grey, but they do look nice in tan. Great job with the lights and the observation deck. They look great
July 13, 201311 yr Oh, should have mentioned that I'm ex-Toronto (The Beaches area, east of town) and the CN Tower dominated the skyline from wherever you were, but my favourite view of it was from the Islands.
July 13, 201311 yr This is awesome, especially the lighting effect! Some interesting techniques on the tower too. Thanks for sharing.
July 14, 201311 yr Amazing model of this very recognisable building! And the lighting effect is outstanding. You have captured the curves and the arch so well!! Congratulations! Well done and happy building

How long do it take to design and build?, and, how many bricks does it contain? Thanks for sharing it with us! Thanks! It took me a month to build it(build after work:P),i think around 30 hrs., I really doesn't counted how many bricks I use, I guess maybe 2k ~ 3k. Toronto resident here (well, GTA, close enough), well done on capturing one of our landmarks. Bothers me that they changed the name to Rogers Centre but they did do a good job of renovating the stadium. Some secret, I am not planned to built the Rogers Centre (SkyDome) at the beginning, but I saw all photos and model they appear together, so, well, I think have to do it :P Looks good!

Also, the buildings are grey, but they do look nice in tan. Great job with the lights and the observation deck. They look great out of proportion < Yes, I am planned to build it in 165cm +-10cm. but if I made the deck small, it not round enough and just not eyes candy, so I made this conceptual proportion :P
July 15, 201311 yr AWESOME build there 'BadLeo', the lighting effect totally sets it off......Brick On !
July 15, 201311 yr Author Oh, should have mentioned that I'm ex-Toronto (The Beaches area, east of town) and the CN Tower dominated the skyline from wherever you were, but my favourite view of it was from the Islands. Haha, I never been there. so I use google earth for reference, it help a lot This is awesome, especially the lighting effect! Some interesting techniques on the tower too. Thanks for sharing. Thanks, by this project I discovered some techniques of hexagon, E.g 4-studs-side hexagon will fit into 5-studs-side hexagon Amazing model of this very recognisable building! And the lighting effect is outstanding. You have captured the curves and the arch so well!! Congratulations! Well done and happy building lighting effect < Thanks, it containing 3 1 meter long LED tape, and the curves I rebuilt 3 times :P and I have to make a draft in gird paper finally AWESOME build there 'BadLeo', the lighting effect totally sets it off......Brick On ! Thanks ;)
July 15, 201311 yr Brilliant. I know nothing of this building, but to the source material it seems very fitting. The lighting is neat, but the rounded dome on the top tower is brilliant. Well done there. I can't even wrap my head around that. And I never saw that Sydney Opera House before either. Great job on that too!
July 16, 201311 yr My my that is an amazing one! As LT pointed out earlier, the lighting made it a thousand times better . Keep up the good work 'BadLeo'!
July 16, 201311 yr Thanks for so many detailed pictures! They really show the great detail you put into your work, nicely done!
July 19, 201311 yr Author WOW Awesome, its a great builg you have out there congrats Thanks ! ;) Brilliant. I know nothing of this building, but to the source material it seems very fitting.

Thanks!, and I think light Fx add value to lego building same as building in our real life Thanks for so many detailed pictures! They really show the great detail you put into your work, nicely done! Thanks! I think techniques sharing are as important as creation sharing, right?
July 19, 201311 yr Wow simply stunning. AWESOME MOC! Great work on the lighting as well! Two thumbs up!! :thumbup:
July 22, 201311 yr Author Changing colors is a nice touch. Thanks! Wow simply stunning. AWESOME MOC! Great work on the lighting as well! Two thumbs up!! :thumbup: Thanks! Wow, love it! Scares the hell out of me all over again! :D :D Thanks! For the lighting, I am worrying there may be over heat when 3 1M LED tape just installed in a around 10x10 space at the beginning, but thanks to the air con. there, it is fine for running over 20 days until now. Because when I was doing testing in workshop, there is some strange plastic smell coming out
August 10, 201311 yr This is awesome!! My mum is native to Toronto so I spent lots of time there. Like someone said it is instantly recognizeable. So amazing!
