Flickr, bring back the old design!
Justified pictures in a group pool is excellent, but forced in everyone's photostream is crap!

* exept the roof, I'm still waiting for this part in light bley to build it

I've been waiting for this moment for 35 months now!
Each tower weights about 6.5 kg

Next thing I will do is the base, which includes the tower's correct ground floors (with entries on the plaza level on one side and on street level on the opposite side)

WTC - entries

The yellow parts are there to support the tower structure.
These are only prototypes. The tower has a width of 44 plates, so I need a complex SNOT-work around it to get back to a normal stud value.

I'm building on my son's playing carpet, btw... my desk isn't big enough for all the parts....

WTC - updated basis
