JAREDCHAN'S LEGO CREATION

Location: Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Model Height: Approximately 130 bricks (excluding the antenna) / 141 (including the antenna)
Construction period: 9 days (excluding research time)
Scale 1: 265
 

Central Plaza was the tallest building of Hong Kong before the completion of 2 International Finance Centre. Due to its immense height, it was the heaviest among all 4 models and I had to separate it into two halves for easier transport.

The triangular shape with corners cut off gave tenants of the building more harbour facing windows. My LEGO model uses a two layer framework to produce and reinforce the triangular shape. The apex of the building is a pyramid with a triangular base, which I replicated using transclear plates and cheese slopes.

Many people have asked me about the metallic gold 1 x 2 tiles... there are over 3000 pieces of that on the building. Crazy, huh?

 

Designed and assembled in 2014.
