K'nex Not-So-Small Empire State Building

Well, I'm back with my largest project ever - the not-so-small K'nex Empire State Building! Standing at plenty over four meters, it couldn't fit in my home, so I had to build it on my balcony. I've entered it in the K'nex contest, so if you really like this, please vote for this. So, let's start building this 4.3 m tall Empire State!

Very few K'nex instructables are complete without a piece count.

In this instructable, we shall be making four sub-towers :- the red tower, the yellow tower, the blue tower, and the spire. Each of them has a similar structure, except the spire, which is slightly different.

The 3D Blue connectors are there on the top only because I ran out of 3D Greys.

The lower Blue connectors in the base are necessary, but not the ones in the modules.

Please note the angle of the 3D Grey Connectors, otherwise they won't connect properly with the rest of the tower.

This sub-tower, for some reason, reminds me of a rocket.

The assembly is the reason why the 3D's on the base had to be angled. Congratulations on creating the (*ahem*) Empire State tower! Give yourself a pat on the back!
