A couple hundred? There are only about two dozen buildings and they're all pretty small.

I have not built anything since I finished my replica of the Ford Building but that does not prevent me from highlighting other people's LEGO skyscrapers:

Here is a LEGO model of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne, Australia:

This was built by Flickr user Akama1_lego.

Here is a some nice fictional buildings by flickr user rabidnovaracer:

That Eureka Tower is amazing. Something you wouldn't think possible with Lego.

Nice. I like that little imaginary condo building in the lower right of that one pic with the balconies.

Art-deco in Lego form. Yes please! Seriously, that is one of the coolest Lego models I've seen anywhere. Beautiful!

Austin55 · #**518** Posted **Jul 27, 2009, 3:39 AM**

So now that I hafve gotten over the initial shock of the awesomeness, I have to say that full Rockefeller is epic. So now I ask, whats next? Are you gonna do the Patronas towers? That would be beyond cool.

Anyone want to guess what the "Discovery series" is?

1ajs · #**519** Posted **Jul 27, 2009, 6:37 AM**

i would venture to gues the worlds fare grounds from a city might pop up?

Spencer,
Great job on both the Aon Center and the Rockefeller Center.
I remember when you showed me the part of your model of the RCA/GE building 2 or 3 years ago! I had been wondering when you would finish it.

By the way, the technique you used on the Aon Center is impressive. A year or two ago I had wanted to use a simpler version of the same idea on a minifig scale model of the One Woodward Ave. (former Consolidated Gas/MichCon designed by Minoru Yamasaki) but could not locate enough of those 1x2 or 1x8 rail plates on Bricklink. Those parts are almost perfect for the Aon.
