A skyscraper like the Empire State Building is basically a stack of floors – you just have to build a few variants of the floor design and you can then repeat them as many times as you need to build the whole thing. I still had a lot to learn before I could attempt to do justice to this wonder of the world.Īs impressive as Sean Kenney’s model of the Empire State Building was, I did not have much trouble figuring out intuitively how it was built. I knew right away that I wanted to take a crack at doing my own version of the Taj Mahal but I just wasn't ready for it yet. This amazing model had preceded the LEGO Creator Expert 10189 set and became the central prop in an Australian independent movie called “Taj” (the story revolves around a father who reconnects with his estranged daughter by building a LEGO model of the Taj Mahal with her).
Not long after I discovered Sean Kenney’s model, I also happened upon the model of the Taj Mahal built by the late Arthur Gugick.
