Empire State Building side view

One of the most recognizable buildings in New York City is the Empire State Building. Almost every building company has made at least one if not multiple models. I know nanoblock, for example, has 2 or more because they have different product numbers. Overall I feel like this model does an excellent job of including multiple major details of the building, including where the building has indents.

Overall I did not love the build. You start with a base plate and build up. The first couple of layers are annoying because you are putting 2 wide bricks on top of one-line stacks, which means things can be leaning into the center. After the first couple of layers, things just get repetitive. There is actually a direction telling you to repeat steps 6 more times.
