I think the third option looks the best and it seems that the amount of horizontal lines are more accurate if you look at the glass on the real building.
Totally agree on the color of the “glass” with the single layer. It looks so much more like the original. It would have been nice to have the 5s, though. I was thinking you could use lighting to tint the clear bricks. But I think the panels do the job.
Absolutely amazing work as always ... as far as the panels , the last version with the smaller blue ones looks the best in my eyes. Overall a stunning and detailed model, but i gotta say... that jellyfish really blew me away
Love all the details! Amazing work! I initially preferred the new light blue tower with the panels, but then I thought about the gap it would cause in the corners and because of that I think you would be better off with the trans clear version and control the hue via coloured LEDs if that’s an option. Good luck in the final stretch!
Since you are lighting it you could use a subtle blue light tone with the clear glass. You would get the right colour and avoid some lines. In case you disqualified clear for that reason.

agree
The dioramas in the Mammal Gallery have always been my favourite. Well done!
I think the third option is the best as it has the most similar colour and neither versions have the same amount of panes as the original building.
I think the colour-matching one looks better than the other two, even if it has more lines going through.
Love the bison head!
Thanks, we were pretty excited about that little detail.

Looks great! Thanks for the photo credit!
New blue looks perfect.
Amazing as always! I've been watching jk brickworks since I was a little kid ;)
That's really cool, thanks for commenting!
Can't wait to see this in person at BitS 💚
Mammal dioramas are cute.

Yeah, the corner gaps are definitely a thing, though they don't seem to be super noticeable. We haven't tried the blue LED option yet, but we will.

very cool!! :)
Yooooooo, been a hot minute
lol, yeah, took a bit of a break there.
Blue glass doesn't fit imo so the white one
Are you counting the pieces?
No, though I would guess this will be somewhere around 15,000 pieces when complete.
