Product Description
When you can't get away to your favorite city, bring your favorite city to you! With the Master Builder Series, you can build your own models of the world's most famous skyscrapers that bedeck America's city skylines from coast to coast. Construct for yourself New York's Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, Chicago's Sears Tower, and San Francisco's Transamerica Pyramid.

o Features intriguing history and stunning photographs of the world's most famous skyscrapers, making it a valuable reference for professional architects and amateur admirers alike.

o Erect the famous Empire State Building, a structural icon that served as a backdrop in much of America's pop culture. (Giant gorilla not included.)

o Go deco when you construct the Chrysler Building, a work of art that has graced New York's skyline since 1929-not only the world's largest skyscraper at the time, but also the world's largest structure.

o Raise one of the world's tallest building in your own home or office as you assemble the Sears Tower.

o San Francisco's skyline just wouldn't be the same without its tallest building, the Transamerica Pyramid-a four-sided pyramid with “wings” on opposite sides of the building.

4 out of 5 stars What to do with all those free hours   August 20, 2008
If you have kids, if you love architecture, if you love modelbuilding (or character building), or if you ever wondered why so tall and how they did it, this is the book/activity for you. Follow the latest Hollywood craze and indulge your habit for crafting by builiding five scale replicas of some of the greatest tall buildings ever. That's right, ever -- these are the ones that defined the skyline of every city in the world. And, for those of us who not only like to use our hands, but also our minds, the well-researched articles on each tower, with archival images, really gives a short (but in-depth) history of the lives of those who made them. What you will need: Fresh baked cookies, scissors, glue, red-wine and several hours away from the TV.
