    • A Note on Color: Recovered nearly complete from a bulk lot, this specific copy exhibits heavy, authentic UV/sun discoloration across several white and light-colored elements. Rest assured, every brick has been deep-washed and sanitized (it was tested and confirmed 100% smoke-free / non-tobacco—this is pure sun aging!). Rather than discarding the pieces, we deliberately reassembled the skyline to align the discolored bricks into smooth tonal gradients, giving the skyline a striking, vintage "sepia tone" or cinematic post-apocalyptic look.

Restoration Details:

• Sanitization: Deep-cleaned via Syd’s multi-stage soap soak and hand-scrubbing.
