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.
