BUENOS AIRES - Plaza de Mayo 3D

[IvanKarpov]

Hello there,
I'd been working in a very complex model of the Buenos Aires historical downtown. I'm trying to be as accurated as I can with the very little information I could get (mostly photos and in situ notes).
Here are some pictures and if you want to see more you are wellcome in the Argentina Forum where I will post most of the updates or in my blog.

Woah, this sis so detailed. So intricate. It's awesome. That pink building is amazing. You even did the underground part of the plaza. Nice skills.

Thank you. I'm trying to be as accurated as I can with the information I get. I have no time to go to the library so I search for blueprints in the internet (luckly I found many).
Originaly I wasn't going to do the subway, but a friend challeng my and I couldn't say no. I hope to be able to do the four stations in the zone for the three lines (A, E and D).
And I also made the 100 years old trains that still work in the A line.

WoW! the details are soo great , where did you get the baloster? did you modeled it?

[IvanKarpov]

I modeled everything in the model from zero (with some little exceptions, like trees, cars and people). I use some textures from the sketchup default but I try to take photos in situ for the more specific textures.

This is great. Are you planning on rendering it? It would look awesome and maybe a big break. Somebody might see these models and hire you or you can make your own model and sell them.

I've studied the Buenos Aires Metro before in Spanish class.

you should render it! it would look more better!
BTW the details are just, Amazing!

[IvanKarpov]

Thank you all!!!
I will render them at some points, but first I will like to end the main part of the plaza, it will look even better if all the main buldings are finished
