This simple modification of the LEGO Empire State Building set (21046) represents something that almost, but not quite, happened.
The spire on top of the Empire State Building had been planned as an airship mooring tower during the design and construction of the building. A few attempts were made by various airships to approach or moor during 1931. This model depicts the Goodyear Blimp Columbia which successfully delivered newspapers to the building in September 1931 (without mooring) by lowering them on a line.
The New York Times and Portable NYC have more information about this interesting period in the building's history.
The Columbia is shown in the correct scale for the Empire State Building set which is approximately 1:800 scale. The Columbia was 45m long and so should measure a little over 7 studs. This design is just under 7.5 studs. This MOC removes the communications mast at the top of the building (which was not present during the 1931 mooring attempts).
Free building instructions are available.
This building is based loosely on one of the buildings depicted in the Brickbuilderspro commercial aftermarket instructions -
"Town Street," (www.brickbuilderspro.com/shop-instructions/?sort=featured...).
I tried to keep most of the styling elements, but expand the building to actually accommodate the idea that a minifig(s) could actually live in the structure, rather than just a box that was more facade than structure.

Construction of this 190-meter-tall Frankfurt skyscraper designed by Danish Bjarke Ingels Group started in 2016 and lasted until September 2019, when the first tenants moved in. It is since Frankfurt’s seventh-tallest structure, altering the city’s skyline in a major way. Omniturm offers not only office space but also condominiums at a previously unreachable point in the city, 100 meters above ground amidst the Frankfurt skyline, adjacent to iconic skyscrapers such as Sir Norman Foster’s Commerzbank Tower or SAA Schweger Architekten’s Main Tower. The floors containing the apartments are offset from the building’s core in a spiral shape to accommodate balconies, resulting in the Omniturm’s signature “hip swing”. The lower floors are open to the public while a roof terrace is accessible for tenants or inhabitants.
This model consists of 1,739 parts and is built in scale 1:650.
A comprehensive, 60-page digital book highlighting the historical precedence of Eiffel Tower alongside the high-resolution images of the piece is now available at www.roccobuttliere.com/shop/eiffel-tower-digital-book. The second half of this book provides extensive insights into the design + build process of this 7,900-part, scale LEGO model; insights which were previously only available to subscribers on Patreon. Don’t miss out on this inspiring and concept-to-completion highlight of one of my most iconic works!
This is how I plan to display the model. The viewer is looking at the Wall from the Bay of Ice and can see both sides, Beyond the Wall and South of the Wall.
Another view of the David Stott Building model. It is 7.5 feet high to the roof and is composed of about 20,000 parts. No glue or paint was used in its construction.
Well I have waited a while to post these, but here are the HD expansive photos of my Church Dream MOC from Summer of 2022. I went with natural lighting for the photos this time around and saw an incredible turn out. Little editing was required on the tale end of shooting. As for the slides the first five show the MOC in larger detail while the later five examine aspects of the free-form landscape and architecture better. At some point in the next few months I will either do a techniques post or a story Q&A. Thank you to any and all who supported this project along the way. I am incredibly happy with the result. If you have any feedback, it is greatly appreciated and as always, enjoy.
Based on BCD's Chilis, this modular building MOC features an extra 16X32 studs expansion, which allowed for the movement of the main entrance to the corner (which then transformed it into a corner building) as well as the movement of many of the internal components. It also allowed for the installation of extra booths for customers and for a hostess station. The bar area gets a boost of space as well with the rearrangement, and access to the bathrooms is now through the bar, and not through the dining area, which typically is a plus.
Parts: 8,500+ (~490 unique)

This is my first Lego Architecture set: Set 21002, depicting New York City's Empire State Building, rated Age 10+, consisting of 77 pieces. This is the simplest Lego set for me to date, and it took me just over 15 minutes to build.
Foundation has been laid, and the ground floors are in place.
For my first Lego Architecture sets, I decided on three New York City landmarks. With yet another trip to New York City about to start in a week, I wanted to get into a New York state of mind, just like the Billy Joel song.
I'm back with my newest moc, the Red London Telephone Box.
The model contains 1856 pieces and features lots of interesting details. The door can be opened to reveal an authentic detailed interior, complete with an old fashioned telephone.
As well as the phone box I've also included a British pillar box and a street lamp complete with hanging flower baskets.
I think the iconic London Telephone Box would be a great subject for a LEGO IDEAS set so I've uploaded it to the LEGO IDEAS website. If you like the model I'd be really grateful if you could head over and give the model your support. 10,000 votes and it could become a real set.
Thanks very much.

This is the consolidation of Lego sets 40178, 40305, 60097, and 5005358 into one Modular Building Lego Store.
First floor includes the pick a brick wall, the "Cash Wrap," shelves of product, and other displays. The Second floor has additional shelves of products and displays. The Third floor holds the Manager's office area, the stock room, the employee's bathroom, and the minifig factory assembly station. All 4 sets are represented within the building, plus I grabbed a couple of additional parts from 31081 Skate House, (the black 4x3x1 frame for the trap door on the roof, and the printed 2x2x1 graffiti Dk red brick).
The SV-Hochhaus is the newly built headquarters of the Süddeutsche Verlag after the company moved out of the city center. It was initially planned as 145-meter-tall landmark in Munich’s industrial east. But the same citizens’ initiative stopping many other high-rise projects in Munich brought this to a halt, too. Following the referendum, the roof height was set to 100 meters, forcing GKK+Architekten to completely rethink their concept. Nonetheless, it was opened in July 2007, after just over one year of construction.
The complex features an intricate façade with sharply angled windowpanes creating a diamond-like effect on the surface. Unfortunately, it was not possible to recreate this mesmerizing effect at this scale.
The model consists of 1,101 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. It features a detailed rendition of the “Atrium”, the building's impressive lobby, which is accessible through a removable roof.
