Cult of Mac posted this amazing Lego recreation of Apple's Fifth Avenue retail store. See the full story inside...
Cult of Mac asked the builder, H.K. Leung: How did you do it?
“The idea of this project began few years ago, when i first began the construction of the glass exterior cube using the SNOT (Stud-Not-On-top) technique for a smooth surface on all sides.
“It got stalled for two years because I couldn’t make the spiral staircase to my own satisfaction. The transparent pieces I needed weren’t in production.”
“The project reignited just before Christmas 2011, when I came up with a new approach to the staircase design. It was 80% complete in two weeks, but I spent the next four months adding details. I added LED lights beneath the exterior glass wall, built-in ceiling lights (3 sets of DIODER by IKEA), again using SNOT – it looks amazing."
