I also use books, magazines, calendars, postcards, and of course my own pictures. To do the model I use GoogleEarth for images, Live Local Search, various other aerial photographs where I can find them. In collecting the heights I also ask for building widths which further help in modeling them. Most of the heights have come straight from the building's blueprints. ![]() I collect building heights as a hobby so the heights of the buildings are correct. I'm also an editor at Emporis which is a website that catalogs skyscrapers from around the world. For the block sizes I've measured those with GoogleEarth.

Dispite this, I am hoping to build many of the significant structures of Detroit. Unfortunately unless someone pays me and lets me use a space the size of a stadium (for free), I will not be able to build an entire downtown. By building in what is called "minifig" scale (about 1/48 scale - based on the height of the chubby little Lego people), I can show details such as the individual windows and doors. ![]() Measures 10” (25cm) tall, 7.5” (19cm) wide and 5” (13cm) deep.What Kevin is doing is trying to create an entire downtown in Lego bricks.Interpretation of real-world architectural landmark, the Capitol Records Tower.The set also includes transparent and translucent elements for the windows, two brick-built palm trees, stars for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and more detail pieces to recreate the legendary tower.
