I have just completed a 4.5 foot tall model of The Empire State Building:

http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/794

This new model remains very faithful to the design of the real Empire
State Building.  I had to "fudge" things, obviously...  For example, the
scale would make a single window smaller than a single LEGO brick; I
compromized and finagled things to look semi-decent.  I  also didn't
want to simply reproduce The LEGO Company's 20-foot tall model,
which is very accurate, but very huge.   For the most part, the building
is microscale... it works well with traditional microfig people (1x1)
and my micro cars.

I was surprised that it only took about 5 days to build; most of that was
playing around with various versions of the top (red, white, blue) section.
The main body of the building went together in about 5-8 hours of
straight building, courtesy of about 50 bulk packs of grey pieces from
lego.com. :)

Hope you like it.

Sean

(...) I think you captured this building very well in a different scale. Was there a reason for the red, white, and blue top? Is Empire State lit up that way now? Ben (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Very ambitious and very impressive, Sean! It is really fun to see AFOLs built such large MOCs-- on a scale of 1 to 10, this one goes to 11! ;-) Nicely done! JOHN (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

Outstanding! This is the biggest micro-scale building to date! Nice work! Ashley Glennon (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.build.arch)
