[MOC] HSBC Main Building and Standard Chartered Bank Building (1:265)

[jaredchan]

During April and May 2014, I designed and built 4 LEGO scale models of iconic buildings on Hong Kong Island for LEGO Hong Kong Ltd. The models joined the creations by fellow Hong Kong creators to form a display of the renowned Victoria Harbour skyline at Toys'R'us flagship, Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong. If you are in town, remember to check them out!

The construction periods of 8 and 11 days excluded research time, which was mostly spent on studying of blueprints, online search and site visit, was quite substantial but worthwhile. I hope you like them ;-)

Both very nice, but the HSBC building is the star of the show for me. Gorgeous!

Wow. What a great accomplishment! I wish I could buy these at my local lego store!

Absolutely brilliant Jared! The frogs for lions are hilarious. All you need is a few hundred domestic helpers under there for a nice Sunday scene.

Thanks Rob! Domestic helpers? I didn't think of that, lol

Fantastic! I've suggested HSBC building as a future Architecture Line set a couple times, but I know it'd never be done justice at the typical set size.

Are there any pictures of the overall skyline display at TRU or the other two models mentioned?

Thanks rollermonkey! I agree, it would be very difficult to put in all the details if the size is reduced to the architecture line level...

Hi Spencer, my other 2 models will be posted later~ An overall pic is available at LEGO HK's Facebook page:

This is an exciting new LEGO Architecture model for a true world architecture masterwork. I've proudly featured this on my LEGO Architecture boards on Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/tomalphin/
