Golden Spike Tower Construction

A few photos of my North Platte Golden Spike Tower under construction. Far from finished.

I'm building myself a second one and this one will end up on display in the tower itself!!

Cheers

Nice job. Did you work off of an actual drawing with dimensions, or is it guessing. Either way, looks great. Are those LEGOs? Looks like a great idea for getting the angles and support.

I've been in the real one, back in September, and yours looks great!

Go back to the real one in October and you'll see this one. Its going on display there.

The bricks are 'Megablocs', a cheap version of Lego. I've got the idea to use them from an article in MR. All done from photos. I had a drawing but it was out of scale and had no dimensions. I've also build Eastfield TMD in the UK. See here http://eastfieldtmd.fotopic.net/c1645828.html
