Number 3 in a series of images showing construction of a LEGO model of the Ford Building in Detroit (1909 - Daniel Burnham architect).
In the foreground are the start of what will be the upper floor modules. There will be three of these modules starting at the fourth floor and perhaps another set at a higher floor. This allows the building to be transported to MichLTC events.
Further progress on 1 Riverside Place. These two floors consist of two One Bedroom apartments and a Whole floor Two Bedroom apartment. There will most likely be another floor dedicated to apartments and a further office floor.
A view toward the "downtown" portion of the Michigan Lego Train Club layout.
The MichLTC display runs from November 27, 2009 to January 3, 2010 in conjunction with the LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit at The Henry Ford.

Here is my new Ford Building model being displayed as part of a Michigan Lego Train Club display at the Southfield Civic Center.

My LEGO replica of the Ford building on display in the lobby of the real Ford Building in Detroit. On November 12, 2009, a party was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the building.
On the right is a bust of the original building's architect, Daniel Burnham.
This picture was taken before the party started. There were over 100 people at the event. Robert Goldsmith and John Gallagher gave short presentations about the history of the Ford Building and downtown Detroit.
A detail shot of my Lego model of the Griswold Building showing the banded design used by Albert Kahn on the top story to add interest to one of his less prominent commissions. Unforntunately Lego does not make a banded arch piece (I may have to find a brown Lego sticker that I can slice up to add that level of detail).
Update:
In 2014, the real building was revamped and renamed "The Albert". The former residents were asked to leave and the newly renovated apartments are being marketed to young professionals who can afford the $1,200 to $2,300 monthly rent.
Number 9 in a series of images showing construction of a LEGO model of the Ford Building in Detroit (1909 - Daniel Burnham architect).
The building model is now about 4 feet high and has almost reached its full height. Only the "penthouse" mechanical floor remains unbuilt.
The details of the top cornice are somewhat conjectural - the vintage postcard image shows it to have significant overhang but shows few details.
It's about 6 feet to the top of the spire. I plan on adding two or three levels to the third section. Hopefully I will get around to a working elevator or two.
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.

The final stories of this building have been difficult to design. I tried several methods of building a 2.5 stud wide column but all had problems so just went with 2 stud columns at the corners and having the entire section set 1/2 stud back.
I was invited to display my model of the David Stott Building at Cityscape Detroit's annual meeting. Mall developer Alfred Taubman was the guest speaker at the meeting.

I finally received a bricklink order that I needed to finish the third story cornice.

Spencer's 1/650 scale LEGO skyscrapers on display at The Henry Ford museum in conjunction with the LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit.
The Michigan Lego User Group provided many displays and runs two events for kids every Saturday: a build a LEGO model T session and a giant castle build. The LEGO Castle Adventure runs from October 10th, 2009 until January 3rd, 2010 at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

This set of five skyscrapers was created when I retrieved the bricks from my childhood. This model is essentially made with the simple primary color bricks from the late 1960's and early 1970's. The goal was to use ALL the bricks I had when I was a child. Created in 1997, it somewhat announced the end of my dark age.
First as Lego, then as farce. I did reckon Art Deco was more of a challenge, but there's also a difference of scale.
Hello everyone ! Today, I’m finally sharing with you the official post bringing together all the work previously done on my new version of the September 9/11 Memorial Park of my LEGO project of a near-identical replica of the new World Trade Center campus in New York City !
I’m so proud to have been able to make this new version in less than a year before its creation on the 3D software called Stud.io by BrickLink !
This is new version of the park adds a lot of new features and improvements ! ✨
- Buildings such as the National September 11 Memorial Museum and the 2 maintenance buildings have been reworked to have a realistic and interesting geometry in terms of technique for LEGO. 📐
- Also added the Survivor Tree and the Memorial Glade which were missing on the previous version.
- Redesign of the ground, with a new design of more visible paving stones.
- Expansion of the pools and improvement of lighting. 💡
- LEGO parts with UV printed patterns for more realism (thanks to l'Esprit Brique) !
I hope you enjoy the result, day and night. This is one of the most important parts of the project, which for me pays tribute to the attacks of September 11th.
Let us never forget ! 🙏 🇺🇸

Here is my faithful replica of the new One World Tarde Center in New York, made up of more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, assembled in more than 60 hours, and illuminated at night with LEDs !
A little bit of history first, One World Trade Center nicknamed “Freedom Tower” and its 541 meters high (1,776 feet, corresponding to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence) is the tallest tower in New York, in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸
It’s also the most expensive tower in the world, costing nearly $3.9 billion, and is the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable skyscraper. 🌟
But now, in LEGO ???
This centerpiece is part of my project consisting of almost faithfully reproducing the new Ground 0 - World Trade Center district in LEGO.
It went through several versions before arriving at this final version which is more geometric, more voluminous and better worked.
Admire these inclined facades !
I won’t be able to describe every detail here since there are a lot, but the main points are :
- More than 28,000 parts.
- The building measures 2.25 m (7.4 ft) with a scale of 1:245 ! 📏
- It includes the almost faithfully reproduced One World Observatory platform as well as all the floors of the tower.
- It’s lit at night with LEDs for the floors, as well as addressable RGB LEDs for the lobby and antenna that can change color individually.💡
I wanted to thank BlueBrixx for providing me with alternative LEGO Trans-Clear plates for the lobby as well as rigid hoses for the metal rings on the roof.
