I completely missed this. Awesome Chris, I can't wait for the finished thing. One of these days I'll drag my butt to brickworld.

SO INCREDIBLE!!!!! It's so amazing and huge!!!!!

Now all we need are official Lego Superman sets!. That'd be so sweet to have minifigs of Superman, Lex Luthor and Lois Lane. They can leave out Jimmy Olsen. hehe. http://www.chicagobrickartist.com

Wow.. Beautiful. Good luck with it.

Nice! I like that creative entrance a lot. Cody G. commented on this creation of mine and suggested I showed you it: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/184688 He said you might get some ideas from it. Hope it might be some help. Thanks!

This already looks insane! The ice pillars crossing each other was a genius idea! Can't wait until your next entry! Oh, and could you comment on my Executor when you get the time? Thanks. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/185676

OK, that's just crazy.

No, the fortress of sin is my next build for the Sterling's layout. And you should have gotten the updates on the interior of this build in your email. NEED MORE WHITE 2X4 BRICK!

I would have expected a fortress of sin, but this works too. Lee.

This is Epic, keep building!

the entrance is so impressive ... the light effects are really cool, keep it up ... when it is finished this fortress will be a super fantastic moc

I'm not going to lie, I have no idea what the Fortress of Solitude is, but I do think that entrance way looks pretty sweet.

You've done ole Superman proud here, its pure 1970s art built with great talent and incredible patience. I can't even begin to describe how jealous I am of your building skills and the shear volume of your brick collection. Keep all that white out of the sun and whatever you do don't drop it...

awesome to see soembody make a version this good. I made one...but let's just say it's not exactly the whole thing. :) the outside looks great, especially the spires by the entrance. what I'd really love is lots of detailed rooms in the interior, like the armory or Superman's weird zoo for aliens. I can't believe this is only the first stage, it looks almost perfect already!!!

I love It !!!!! The color mixte is just greeeeeat !!!!! I love the way of using the transparent brick.....

Tool! . . . I mean, cool!

nice :) I like the entrance with the ice spikes, its a good idea to build some moc's with white bricks :P

Now BrickWorld will get to see the real Fortress of Solitude, not some bizarre sci-fi concoction of a dio by a wacky builder.

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Not often you see a white fortress!

Fantastic idea Chris! I really hope that I get to see this ginormous build up close and personal in June! If not, Mister Bones might come after you with a tire iron. Just sayin'.

Hmm... That's a good use of those 1x1 and 1x2 trans-clears. I have some 700 of them. Would you like a few? :3

Oh so you start on your own little project and forget about the really important one...mine! Its ok I see how it is. Great job Chris I'm still waiting for pics of my project.-George

It looks great, I just can't wait to see it tiled.

It looks great, I just can't wait to see it tiled.

AWESOME JOB! Josh is going to love this one :D

Nice job, Chris!

Be sure too make a superman too go in it. A custom would be great.

Sweet! This could certainaly be your best moc ever! please, please, please, don't mess this up. I'm counting on ya, hahaha good luck!

Ahhhh, every man's true dream, The Fortress of Solitude. Would you believe that is what I named my den when my oldest daughter moved out and her room became my LEGO 'studio'? The acoustics down the hall are great; I can clearly hear my wife when she starts singing 'All By Myself' as I'm playing, er, building. LMAO Love the crystal spires, you trans hoarding MOFO!~H

Nice. Those towers must have taken ages to put together. Why does Superloser hang out with Santa Claus?

Ha! You're committed now, pal. (Actually you SHOULD be committed, although not in reference to LEGO, but I digress...) Seriously nice work there Phippy. I'm looking forward to seeing the additional spires on the top portion, and yes...this thing is going to look BAD-AZZ when we hit the lights in Chicago, baby!

Looking good, be nice to see the finished article (photos only, the chances of me getting to any US convention are roughly those of me winning the Nobel prize for axe-juggling). I'm hoping for a "kneel before Zod" moment to be incorported here, or if not at least some 'kneel before...' themed innuendo.

Can't wait to see the finish! Oh, I have to stop the ship project. I cant seem to nail the look I wanted. Though, I was making my own weapons for vehicles and I had this little jet I built, put on the weapon, now it looks great, not as great as this, though!

WOAH. An awesome curve wall. Sweet color too.

This is amazing, filled with epicness...

Awesome, love the intrance thing, another piece of awesomeness :D

Wow, that's pretty impressive; although the sliding doors isn't that impressive to be given its own photo. Good luck! Good day

A very interesting project, this hasn't been done before, good luck, such big projects can be very tiresome (for the builder himself :p )

WOW! I don't have the patience or the pieces to even ATTEMPT something this epic! Love the look of the crystal things in front and, of course the sliding doors.

"*Why* is the most diabolical leader of our time surrounding himself with total nincompoops?"

Chris, when did you get so good? I have to admit that this is just great, well thought out, and creative. The unique colors, design, and shapes will make this stand out at BW. I can see where all of those trans pieces will make this a stunning piece during the world of lights. Overall your doing a fantastic job here and I hope that you truly don't mess it up. -Dylan

Lookin' Good,let me know if you want to get rid of some when its done lol. I need more too!

Wow i really like the design on this. could you rate some of my mocs? There not anywhere near this though.

Since I'm sleepless,I may as well comment here. But you already know what I think of it. So basically hi, and bye.

Those two curved walls on the front have about 500 clear studs each (1,000 total). I'm not sure how many 1x1 and 1x2 clear plates I've used so far. Let's go conservative and call it 500 of those and about 150 clear cheese slopes so far. Here's the scary thing... I need MORE!

Wow you sure do have alot of clear studs!~NN

Wow you sure do have alot of clear studs!~NN

nice one! it looks great so far!

Very nice! Can't wait to see this in June.

nice moc! i love the clear pillars above the main entry. and the clear pieces in the towers give it a really interesting look. can't wait to see it when it's done.

Say, it seems you took out a few white flooring plates before you took the detail shots...

Nice! Im gonna have to stick with Josh's though... ;D

So it's Playset feel will be kinda like Heather's dollhouse, except more- how do I put this- Built for boys?

Wow everything is correclty place no mistakes love it! I dont really have anything to complain about it everything is great!

Wow, impressive. Good luck.

What a project to pursue! You've got it head over heels my friend. Best of luck!

Incredible. This is going to be excellent. I like the two pillars in front, must have used about a million of those little 1x1 clear bricks. -Sam

Then Chris' wife saw the PaB bill.... And even Superman couldn't help him. Looks good Phip, can't wait ta' see it done.

Woah. The columns are incredible and the crystals overhanging the, uh, frontwalk, are very nice. Can't wait to see the finished project!

"Ohhhhh, Ahhhhh"? "Playset feel"? Well... I love the spires, they remind me of your 'docking bay' ship, the red one. I like the opening thing, and can't wait to see, uh, you playing with it?
