Lego city skyscrapers3/18/2024 I actually pulled one WIP apart because I wanted to ensure I had enough detail in my other taller building which I will re-build soon and I may try rebuilding a simpler form of the MOC I pulled apart. I decided not to build skyscrapers, instead building modern structures 3-4 stories tall. I think that placement of skyscrapers goes a long way, and having multiple buildings of increasing height near it, as in the linked layout, helps a lot. I think he has six built now and some other massive structures. They may not physically be skyscrapers any more, but if you want them to be relatively tall and modernist builds, that is often above) Is a great builder of Lego skyscrapers. Modulars are all very small volume wise compared to real structures, and the same can work for skyscrapers too. Often five stories is enough to convey that it is a skyscraper, different to the other shorter buildings. Combined with others, they fit in better.Īlso scale - a skyscraper doesn't have to be incredibly tall in a LEGO city. Otherwise, with a small area of the city, they shade the rest of the buildings. I am fond of building in a micro format, and I try to make skyscrapers not high - 5.10 floors. I imagine his layout cost an absolute fortune! But in those layouts the skyscrapers are very well designed too, in terms of individual detail. I have seen layouts with multiple skyscrapers and they look very good. The single skyscraper point is interesting. I imagine his layout cost an absolute fortune! And of course, if you buy in bulk, the end result will generally be unvaried and a bit bland. These are from really skilled LEGO builders I have seen, too. Buying bulk parts for skyscrapers is expensive enough, to buy the parts for extra detail could easily leave one £1000 out of pocket, if not more. While it is ultimately a matter of choice and construction process, it is a very frequent outcome that the detail is not given enough attention - not just for my skyscraper but for others I have seen as well. As a result, they're far more likely to dominate a city build in the modular style rather than complement it. Skyscrapers tend to be much more proportionate to their real equivalents, going much deeper down a block to make the correct visual profile. They're facade-oriented and quite shallow, intended to make up the face of a block but not its depth, and are just generally small overall. Modulars are like caricatures of buildings. Also, if your town is predominantly modulars or modular-style buildings, a skyscraper likely won't make a lot of thematic sense. If you're doing a downtown high rise section of a city, it really needs to be a whole neighborhood, or at least a block. A single skyscraper in a city that's otherwise filled with short buildings is going to look awkward. Slapping one together because you want something tall is going to yield poor results, but it's more an issue of underestimating the undertaking, IMO. The fact of the matter is that a skyscraper is just going to be a large build, and that's going to require a certain commitment of parts and design. Features include: Fully furnished floors, Stairwells, Removable Floors for play, Four minifigures, and some office accessories.Well sure, I think there can definitely be a tendency to prioritize size and scale over detail, but that's an individual's choice to make. This set is around 2,000 pieces and is on a 32X32 Base Plate. The tapered roof gives the building a unique look that diversifies itself. NOTE: AT 100 SUPPORTERS A NEW AND BETTER BUILDING WILL BE RELEASED!!!ġ300 First Street- 1300 First Street is a six floor office building. Just imagine, a city of your own right in front of you. Not only the mere height of them to you're minifigures but also the great designs that can be introduced. So the most obvious thing to do just seem to be to put them together! I think Skyscraper will be a really unique line of Lego for everyone that sees it. I myself love seeing Skyscrapers in New York and I love Lego. A series of big buildings built to minifigure scale, Skyscraper is all about the revolutionary invention that changed working life and cities across the world.
