Oooh, you got me! Yeep, based off of the Ben Franklin Bridge, the real only differences is the roadway and the thickness of the towers.

Hey, what can I say? Its a nice bridge? Perfectly matches Staunton.

There will be a new bridge next to the (Its the Jefferson Bridge, I keep accidentally calling it the Callahan Bridge) most likely a Stone Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge Styled maybe?

Its hard to explain! The simple way is doing a straight roadway, and building the towers areound them. This time, I did a curved roadway, like real world bridges, the result was great, but IT WAS a disaster to make, I only reccomend doing a curved bridge if your really experieced.

I still want to put more detail in the roadway, but you know how you cant edit curved faces.

Anyways

It might not be Staunton, but I'm cranking out models for 3D Warehouse,

Mainly LA Buildings:

While sometimes Kerkythea sucks, (the KPMG Tower's roof textures dint show up)


Other times, well, well.....

Well I'm only entering 9th Grade, so no, not yet.

Ahh I dont really like to think of my future, I'd much rather slack off and ditch school with my friends

I really just do 3D Modeling for fun. I have no Idea what I want to use, or what can I use, my "skills" for in the future.

Tell me about it. Bridges usually take me days to create, because I end up designing and redesigning and fixing size differences and redesigning and erasing over and over again until I finally get it close to what I was envisioning in my mind (especially with the "Golden Gate" based bridge I made - god, that took two weeks.

^Amen brotha, bridges are a pain, but i'm very happy with the result of the Jefferson Bridge.

As one by one a district gets detailed and redoneish, I'll show pics soon, curently I'm working on the Prestegious Civic Center, so look out for City Hall Park and City Hall's sexy detailing.

One of my Favorite Angles, The Waterfront.

The Civic Center is done, heres some info.

City Hall Park

You see Three Major buildings in the pic, I'll start with the front three, left to right.

Prosperity Plaza
Completed in 1916, on of Staunton's Oldest Skyscrapers, one of the city's most prominent towers. Although hardly seen in the skyline, it is however popular on TV Shows and Movies. The building, mainly City Offices, is however known for its huge ballroom on the upper floors of the building, and its oversized wrap-around balcony perfect for huge parties. It rises 514 Feet, 36 Floors.

City Hall
Constructed in 1925, one of Staunton's favorite buildings, known for its gigantic pillars at the buildings base and lovely tower. Original City Hall, now unfortunantly demolished was too small for Staunton's Standards at the time. Although, New City Hall is a little too big for the City's Standards today. Rising 605 feet, 43 Floors, the Tower no Longer stands out in the Skyline, but is still the Crown Jewel of Downtown. At 605 feet, it is currently the World's 2nd tallest City Hall.

The Plaza
Completed in 1986, one of THE most luxurious Office Buildings Downtown. So many amenities, views, all that good stuff. Constructed Controversially over the Original AtlanticBell Communications Building. It rises 557 Feet, 41 Floors, Modeled off The Tower in Los Angeles.

The Buildings in the Background

Johnathan Goodman Federal Courthouse
824 Feet, World's Tallest Courthouse (Hey, Staunton, the City of Justice, needs a huge Courthouse) 6th Tallest In Staunton, 59 Floors. Named after America's favorite Mayor. Completed in 1931. Modeled off NYC's Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse.

Lloyd Tower Staunton
One of the City's most Controversial Towers. It all started in 1985, when the Project was first announced, of Course, much taller, Super-ego Ronald Lloyd planned the Tallest Building in the World, right in Staunton, of course, it was voted down. He presented a new Plan in 1987, 914 feet, making it Staunton's 3rd Tallest not counting Spires. Although the Approval Committe voted "NO", it was still, controversially constructed. Why no? Well It completly overshadows City Hall, so when Standing in Front of City Hall, the Lloyd Tower Stands over it, almost looking like an extension. It Stands in the Civic Center, who would want a Luxurious Hotel/Condo there? The Building was largly disapproved all over the city, but with time it grew on Staunton. The Building has a mall, the bottom floors are Hotel, the top are EXTREMLY luxurious Condominiums. The Penthouse, with 2 rooftop pools, Dance Floor, Basketball Court, Skylights, private elevator, and much more, was occupied by Ronald Lloyd from 1991 to 2002, where Staunton Fell apart, and the Lloyd with his 5th Wife (now on his 7th) moved to NYC, to the Original Lloyd Tower.

Alexander Galviston II, purshased the penthouse in 2002, as he was the only one who could really afford it. Alex, only 31, Throws the BEST parties on his penthouse, your've gotta be really ,famous, cool, rich, or sexy, to get invited.

Being on the 76th Floor, The Paparazzi, so desprate, use helicopters to see the party.



Lookin Down Trinity Boulevard.
