How To Build A Skyscraper in Four Easy Steps:

Step One. Build the base, and make it strong. This new blue and yellow base was being built to replace the red and orange base behind it, and the rest of the spire too. I was on a building spree, after scoring 3,000 bricks of varying colors, shapes and sizes, on Ebay.

I had built the prior spire in four different colors because at the time I had not had enough of any one color to make the entire thing uniform. But this time I did, and I was improving the design and increasing the size of what would come to be one of my favorites of all of my structures.

Step Three: At this point, since I was winging it and building according to the specs in my mind's eye, I realized that if I keep building at that proportion, the resulting spire would be five to six feet high. So I began tapering inward with the shape and sought to complete it much shorter than the potential five feet. If I had had an unlimited supply of Lego, I don't think I would have worried about that.

Finito. At three feet, two inches in height, it is the largest spire in my city and the tallest one I'd built yet. So there you go, how to build a three mile high skyscraper in scale, in four easy steps. Okay, there were a lot more than four steps to that five hour project, but I wanted to keep it simple here.

This was after I moved from my old condo into my new, and had transported thye city over in sections and pieces. At this point the base sections were looking almost bare, as there a lot more buildings of all shapes and sized to retransplant to their home, and in some cases changed, locations.
