LEGO 21046 Architecture Empire State Building New York Landmark, Creative Activity, Collectible Model Kits for Adults to Build, Home Decor Gift Idea

Product Information

The Empire State Building was completed in New York City, New York (USA), in 1931, where it became the tallest buildings in the world for 39 years. I ended up abandoning this effort but not before I did some renders comparing the models at 3 different scales. If you do not have a USB Power Bank or USB Wall Adaptor, you can purchase them from our Powering section. It doesn’t have the finer tuning of Spencer’s model but has enough so that it is highly distinguishable as the ESB.

Here, we assemble two sets of two identical modules, which cover the right and left hand side of the building.

I’ve mentioned several times how closely this set resembles the larger scale Architecture models frequently created by talented LEGO Artists.The very clever SNOT techniques used to clad the facade of the model with 1×2 grille tiles make the building process very interesting (albeit a bit tedious). It’s especially helpful since you can share your models with members of your community at LEGO events, and they will be able to recognize their town re-created using LEGO. Nowadays I look at buildings in my homecountry and beyond and try to imagine them in lego style in my mind . What to expect: Brick Architect is committed to respecting your personal data and privacy, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. LEGO® Architecture celebrates the world of architecture through the medium of the LEGO brick, and is developed for all with an interest in travel, architecture, history and design.

It gets a bit repetitive so if you don’t like placing 1x2 grills or repeating sides, then this set may not be for you. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. There were two relatively small bags marked with a 1, indicating the first stage of the build process. My daughter who helped me build my custom model of the Empire State Building also happened to build the most recent official version (set 21046).This includes more sideways 2×3 Tiles that are attached between studs to make the model more stable. In this step, you will build six very similar modules: the first and last module are slightly different, but the four modules in the middle are identical. This is very similar to most of the large Architectural models designed by artists like Spencer and Rocco. It is amazing how accurate the designers of this set managed to make it at such a (relatively) small scale. Travel to New York, New York and go to one of the tallest buildings in the world with the LEGO Architecture Empire State Building Set 21046.
