This is version 2 of my WTC microfig model that I rebuilt in November 2003. As with all my previous micro skyscraper “rebuilds”, the emphasis has been on improving and expanding the levels of details - particularly at street level. This proved to be somewhat problematic in the case of the WTC for two reasons. Unlike the Sears Tower/JHC, I never had a chance to personally visit the WTC complex to make my own observations. Secondly, although the WTC was one of the most photographed buildings in the world, most of the shots are of the “tourist variety” - focusing only on the centerpiece 110 story twin towers and the large plaza. Images of other more mundane aspects and hidden corners of the vast 16 acre office complex are difficult to find. I have spent the past couple of years searching and collecting these types of images so that I could rebuild my original model.



You can read about the details on MocPages or view the Brickshelf Gallery directly. Enjoy.
