   I have completed another building to include in the MichLTC portion of the ILTCO layout planned for the NMRA 2007 National Train Show to be held in Detroit on July 28 - 30th.

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.

For those of you who are planning on participating or showing up for the NMRA NTS, I look forward to seeing you there.

From the thumbnail on the Lugnet front page, I thought this was a photo of a real building that the MOC was based on. I’m pretty much a space guy, but this MOC amazes me. Great work!

Thanks for the comments! I would probably be a spacer if I wasn’t so interested in architecture. I read a lot of SF and have some old dusty plastic spaceship models hanging up in my house. Have you seen my only Lego space effort (Bab5 Hyperion class heavy cruiser: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=112390)?
