After building a microscale Sears Tower,
I decided to do a larger compressed version for use in our train layouts. The
resulting
model
debuted at MichLUG’s GATS 2005 display in March. However, I still wasn’t
satisfied with the size and the details I was forced to omit, such as the Wacker
Drive atrium. So I dismantled that model and rebuilt an even larger version,
with the antenna now topping out at 8ft. Along the way I added a lot more
detail.

| Wow! This is really impressive! (URL) is particularly great. The entrance is just so well made, especially the inverted slope supports..haven't seen that before (being stuck in the castle age). Like all good MOCs the detail is incredibly easy to (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
