Here is a photo of my Penobscot Building which will make its debut at the NMRA National Train Show this July in Detroit, Michigan.



The rest of the pictures (it is about 99% finished): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=217992

Never heard of the Penobscot Building? Well it was the 5th tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1928 and it remained Detroit’s tallest structure until 1977. It is an simplified example of Art Deco and was considered very modern at the time it was built (three years before the Empire State Building).

I am also building two mid-rise buildings and a library to display at the NMRA in addition to my existing Detroit buildings. They should add up to about 500 pounds of Lego buildings that I will display at the show!
