We adopted a scale of 1 brick = 1 meter:
The tallest so far, the LeVeque (white), is 169 bricks tall (antenna not
counted), which is 5 feet and 4 inches. Huntington Bank (sand red/trans-blue):
156 bricks or 4 feet and 11 inches Vern Riffe (tan/trans-green): 155 bricks or 4
feet and 10.5 inches Border (white/blue): 137 bricks or 4 feet and 4 inches
Under construction are:
Franklin County courthouse (black/dark-grey): will become 141 bricks (4 feet 5
inches) One Nationwide Plaza (white/black): will become 148 bricks (4 feet 7
inches) Rhodes Office tower (light grey): will become 193 bricks (6 feet 1
inch).
One Nationwide will have a 60 brick tall antenna. Top of that antenna will
likely be the highest point in our downtown project (6 feet 6 inches), although
the antennas on the Rhodes will be within just a few bricks.

Paul,
I stand in awe at the scale you guys can build! Who owns the 18 wheeler?
Because you must need one to haul those huge buildings around the State of Ohio.
When is you next show? IndyLUG is going to caravan over to see your stuff in
person. I had planned on going to your last Columbus show but time and prior
commitments conspired against me. The pics are great but to see it all in
person would be outstanding. Brian

so true! The next member to join will have to have at least a cargo-van, or an
SUV/Truck with a trailer!
As for next shows, that’s up in the air. Besides the “standard” shows like GATS
and Greenberg, we have a bunch of invitations. At our next club meeting (April
4), we’ll make a plan for this years’ shows. There is no GATS or Greenberg in
Columbus till Feb. 2005, but last year we did the Dayton GATS, which would be
ideal for Indylug to come see/participate (?) (Dayton is pretty much right in
between Columbus and Indianapolis). The entire downtown becomes quite a
transport nightmare, we will likely only show it in its entirety at local
GATS/Greenberg shows, but a few skyscrapers (meanwhile we have 4 finished, 3-5
under active construction, and a few more planned) should make it to out-of-town
shows too. I’ll keep you guys posted as to when/where we’ll be next (including
the size and content of layout, so you can judge if it is worth the trip).

Yup, it would be about a 2 hour drive to Dayton, however, that is the weekend
prior to the Indy GATS which we’ll participate in. I don’t think too many of the
guys could do back to back weekends, although it would be fun to have two LEGO
layouts at one GATS.
