It featured thin, translucent plastic panels colored to look like the glass and steel sky scrapers that were being erected in the US during that time. The panels Attached to plastic "girders" whose ends you would connect to build a framework on which to attach the panels to make it look solid. It was a silly concept and the panels cracked and broke pretty easily, but it was a hugely popular build toy around the time the James Bond film, "Goldfinger" was released.

Do you ask for pictures of Guantanamo every time there is a picdump about America?
