How to Make a LEGO Skyscraper

Align four 8-by-2 bricks horizontally, alternating between white and yellow. Place four more 8-by-2 bricks on top of the bottom row in the opposite direction, again alternating colors between white and yellow. Continue this alternating pattern until you have built eight rows. This is the base of your skyscraper.

Attach three 6-by-2 bricks, centered on the base of the skyscraper, alternating blue brick, red brick, blue brick. Place a second row on top, again in the opposite direction, alternating colors between blue and red. Continue this pattern until you have built 12 rows. This is the middle section of the skyscraper.

Attach two, 2-by-4 bricks, one yellow, one orange, centered on the middle section of the skyscraper. Attach a second row of two bricks, yellow and orange in the opposite direction. Continue this pattern for 16 rows. This is the top section of the skyscraper.

Attach on top, centered, a gray 2-by- 2 brick, followed by a green two by two brick, another grey two by two brick and then a red two by two brick on top. Now add the final trim to your skyscraper. Starting back at the top of the base, attach the white flat 6-by-1 bricks to the front and back edges. Attach the white flat 4-by-1 bricks to each side.

Attach the red flat 6-by-1 bricks to the front and back edges on the top of the middle section. Attach the red flat 4-by-1 bricks to the sides of the edges of the middle section.

Attach the white flat 4-by-1 bricks to the front and back edges to the top of the top section. Attach the white flat 2-by-1 bricks to the sides of the edges of the top section. Attach the white flat 2-by-2 brick to the top of your tower.
