For the past few months I’ve been working on a LEGO compatible modular building in my spare time, and weighing in at 4,102 pieces it’s starting to take shape well enough that I need comfortable unveiling the progress for the first time. The photo above shows 3 floors plus the small room below the dome a top, but since generating the image above I’ve started reworking it to have another mid-size floor like the third floor shown here.

My list of features I wanted the model to have included:

• Large globe on top
• The “stairstep” look from the comics
• Lobby globe like was shown in the 1978 movie
• Face-to-face desks in the “bullpen” for Lois and Clark. Lois’ desk would be a big ol’ mess with a hairbrush, food, and crumpled papers next to the waste basket, while Clark’s desk is neat as a pin.
• Because we’re big Smallville fans and so many fun moments took place there, the model also features roof access where Lois can go to smoke or take a ride with Big Blue, and it includes the roof access structure where Clark (finally) took flight in the finale of Smallville.
• A copy machine/room
• Break room
• Janitor closet for Clark to change in
• Perry White’s office
• Desk for Jimmy
• Office details like water coolers
• A store room with boxes of papers

Here’s a small gallery of images so you can check out the progress, and I’d love to hear comments and suggestions!
