This is arguably one of the coolest LEGO projects I've ever seen, anywhere. I am not at all even slightly religious, but I feel that I can appreciate the spirit of your creation. In short, you need to do more of this. (22 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

Amy, After not seeing this for a long time, I am once again overwhelmed. Beautiful! Oh, on the comments. I got a bunch of "Get a life/job/girlfriend" comments when my site got slashdotted. I guess it bothered me at the very first, but then I (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Hi Sean, Very nice. I really like the Citigroup Tower (& Church...nice) and the UN. Both very nicely done. That day you and I met outside the Citigroup Tower I really noticed how impressive it really is....and you've captured it well. Very (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

The one I was thinking of was this: (URL) same author (Stephen Biesty) has done several others, one on a castle, another on a ship, etc. There's a similar one that is just about an apartment building, but I can't find it. If you look around the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) LOL! :) Yeah, these buildings are a vast departure from my 5-foot-tall skyscrapers and whatnot... probably better too, because it saves me a lot of money and they're quick to build! :) Glad you liked them. Sean (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) That's my favorite, too. The Citigroup building didn't look like much of anything until I started adding the subterrania, and now I love the way it came out. It works well, since the recessed plaza under the tower butts up against the subway (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)
