9 months ago, I built a LEGO replica of the National September 11 Memorial Museum using Stud.io software to improve my rather « ugly » first version. Now, I’ve been able to faithfully reproduce it in real life !
This new 10 times better version is made up of 3000 parts.
The building is lit at night by LEDs. 💡
The visible interior is almost faithful to the museum, and also includes the tridents of the old WTC visible from the outside at the glass facade !
Concerning geometry, big achievement for my part. I’m very proud of this fairly faithful form of the building IRL. The result is sublime with the stripes in « Metallic Silver » color. 📐
There are certainly illegal techniques, but that’s what makes the building so charming.
I had used white flexible tubes to represent the metal beams supporting the glass facade on the 3D model, but however, I didn’t particularly think of doing it again in real life, although it seems quite complex to me. I don’t know if I will do it one day, but it looks very good without. 👍
There are certainly many other details to describe but I will stop here. I sincerely hope that you like this new version, and above all, let’s never forget ! 🙏🇺🇸

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.
The beginnings of my crescent plaza project. It will eventually fill four 32x32 baseplates and feature two buildings with a plaza between them.

The Michigan LEGO Users Group put up a display at the Henry Ford museum on November 16th, 2024 for the duration of the holiday season (ends early January 2025).
Two new LEGO creations by MichLUG's Scot Thompson are on display for the first time.
1. Broderick Tower complete with whale mural.
2. Metropolitan Building (left foreground).
The real David Broderick tower was built in 1926-1928 as the Eaton Tower. In 1945 David Broderick purchased the building and named it after himself. The building slowly lost tenants during the late 20th century and was abandoned sometime after 2007. In 2010-2012 the building was fully restored. It now has a high occupancy rate.
The real Metropolitan Building was built in 1924-25 and was closed and abandoned in 1977. In 2016-2018 the building was restored and now contains a hotel called the "Element Detroit at the Metropolitan".

In the background is Steve's white Bulh Building, my Guardian Building, and Chris' Michigan Central Station. To the right of the Broderick Tower are Richard's models of the American and Lafayette Coney Island restaurants.
Here is a shot in full light. I work with mostly Taiwanese people, so before starting to build this MOC, I asked them what color the real Taipei 101 building is. Out of about 20 people polled, only 1 person was SURE that it was green. I selected green transparent bricks for the windows to be accurate, and chose sand blue plates for the "metal framing" around the windows. I though sand blue would give the building a "blue feel"
With 1 plate and 1 brick for each floor, this MOC is actually 101 stories tall, and stands about 5 feet 6 inches tall !!! So far, I've used about 7,500 bricks, and since I only have 3 sides finished, I need about 2,500 more bricks to complete it. At a whopping 10,000 bricks, I'm tempted to call it Taipei 10001 instead of Taipei 101 !!! Enjoy the pics everyone.

This is the base of the building which is made up of 4 trapezoidal-shaped smooth walls. I used hinges to lock the walls in place. Also, since the exact slope brick I wanted to use on the sides of the base walls was not available, I used inverted slopes and built the 4 base walls upside-down. Complex combination hinges int he inside transfer the connection from Stud-facing-up on the interior column support structure to stud-facing-down on the 4 sloped curtain walls
