I believe I have just built something taller than GWOH... :S :o (weird) So I am done with Cherufe, nothing is working, and I am disappointed. No worries though, I am building my tallest structure ever. It is so big that it wont fit in my 14ft roof. :o Right now I have only built the core of the building. After I post this, I will be building the facade/non-core of the building. It is 45 granites tall (not including the 1 granite foundation). Once I am done with the whole structure I might display it depending on many reasons, but I will put the whole thing up in my backyard!

Pictures of Core (Sorry for horrible pictures):

Dang. 45 granites? That's nearly twice as tall as Fury and that's pretty intimidating. I'm pretty interested in engineering and buildings so I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Yup it is very intimidating. I might have to build it a little bigger so that the top parts look better. I finished the final height, and it has a better shape. height is now 48 granites without 1 granite foundation.

I like stuff larger than life. (lol)

*Wow, the pictures through photobucket came out like poop. Looks better on my iPhone.
This is what I have so far-

I tried using the Panoramic view on my iPhone 6, it came out well. And the structure actually isn't bending.

I got an equilateral triangle going on down here. I deserve an A+

I can't fit this (8 granites) inside... (thumbsdown)

Another angle!

Please Comment! Also I need ideas on how I should make the wavy facade thing.

Sweet build man! I love how close it is to the real thing in shape. Perhaps an even bigger one, or another building some day?

I'm a strange little fellow.

Here is a picture of it in two parts. Just try to imagine it together...

*Im aprox. 5'7". That is one granite smaller than the part on the left.

I want to build a taller building. It will be One World Trade Center. Not sure how tall it will be but it will be tall. I'm not sure if I will make a video of it and put it on YouTube because of obvious reasons with people commenting.

Have you ever felt building a coaster around it?

I really love this and it makes me want to build towers and such instead of just coasters. I've always loved bridges so maybe I'll build a type of bridge or something. Do you know how tall it actually is in feet or do you just know it in Knex units? I'd assume at least around twenty feet.

I have not felt building a coaster around it. It is approx. 18 feet tall. And I'm building something about 5-10 granites taller.
