This MOC is a model of the Griswold Building, a midrise structure designed by architect Albert Kahn in 1929. It primarily uses old brown and old light gray for the facade.



WOW! The building itself is a great MOC, but what surprised me even more was the quality of your photo work... the thumbnail on the LUGNET front page made me think it was a picture of the real building. VERY nice!

Thanks for your comments. Besides trying to emulate the proportions of real buildings with my MOCs, I try to photograph them in natural light from typical street level vantage points in an attempt to add realism. One unfortunate problem is that I have a small backyard with trees on every side so it is difficult to exclude “giant” trees from the picture (Photoshopping them out is too much work). -Jim
