About a year ago, I built a small replica of the Empire State Building. You
can see it at:

I was originally wanted to build it with a 2-bricks-per-floor scale, but my
collection wasn't big enough to support that model. So, I ended up doing a
single brick per floor. I'm still quite pleased with it. But someday, I
hope to do the full 7' model like you are describing. Good luck, John, and
let us see it when you finish!
