Just stunning. Great details and excellent use of colors, both old and new.
Another thing I really like about this is that it is not a huge skyscraper.
It is the type of building, in my view, that will be on a layout but not
necessarily be the main focal point. But, if it weren’t there, you’d surely
miss it. I think buildings like this are the heart and soul of a layout.
Greatly looking forward to seeing this in person.
Excellent work, as always.

Thanks!
While this building is not exactly small at three feet high, I did think that
the Lego Detroit skyline would look a bit funny with no medium sized buildings
to transition between the skycrapers and the two and three story buildings. And
besides, I simply like Albert Kahn’s design for this building.
I am working on another building of almost the same size for the show. I am
also working on a Detroit Public Library main branch building as a counterpart
to my DIA Art Museum. At least two other MichLTC club members are building
good-sized MOCs based on Detroit buildings for the show.
