Hello,

I wanted to see how tall a building I was able to build using all my regular
bricks and here it is:

In order to include all my different windows (also car and helicopter windows!)
nearly all floors have different stylings:

The two lifts go all the way from the bottom to the top and run independently.
Also the antenna on the top rotates when the lifts move. The lifts are activated
by pushing the upper flag poles to either side:

Okay, I DO have yellow bricks but I'm really not a huge fan of that color...
also leaving out the yellow made it possible to make a dutch flag in the middle
of the tower :-)

Please note the fountain in front of the building, it's quite neat:

So, what do you think of it? All comments are welcome. I guess most of you
aren't impressed with my small collection of bricks...(? :-)

Have fun

Esben

I've seen pics with junior builders using their "collections" to build stuff, and it is nothing close to what you've built. What you've built is excellent, as been said already. I haven't put together something like what you did. I am afraid to (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.town)
