Empire State Building building

The Guardian newspaper has been running a series on modern buildings over the past week, culminating on Saturday with a free model of the Empire State Building to build. Well, this little sick fellow (meaning not well, rather than an angry young chap with psychotic tendencies) thought it a challenge worth taking. I have no feeling in my fingertips thanks to superglue, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. A new hobby?


This is my work station


Starting block


2nd Block


Getting there (really fiddly by now)


Almost done - just the lightning rod, this will really test my creativity and dexterousness...


There it is! Finito!


And now for a few glamour shots...


I'm going to send this last picture off to the Guardian. They have a competition for 2 flights to NYC! Fingers crossed!


The workstation afterwards...
