Nice shot Hayward. This one is getting close to the next mechanical floor. Should be a couple weeks, right?

Pizza and beer afterwards anyone?

Looks like it will reach the next setback (transfer floor?) very soon. After that lengthy process it should really rise fast with the smaller floor plates.

I got really bored today, so here is something... just to give impression, don't focus on details Took me about 2 hours, so it was pretty quickly done.

Yes, excellent job Ghost. How difficult would it be to wrap the columns in stainless steel?

Welcome back everybody. Here are a few shots from Saturday. This was the first day that Trump really seemed TALL. It's really starting to loom over Wabash now.

Trump from Western & Elston


Trump from Millenium Park


And from Wabash

^ yeah, ghost, that looks great

if someone cares to take a picture, I believe at least one of the columns is now wrapped in stainless steel, and it looks pretty darn good

and with one column encapsulated, i imagine it would be easier to photoshop stainless steel on every column.

however, the better option might be to just wait until they're all covered, seeing as it took less than a day to cover a column

Nice pics! And here's the photoshop...
You guys can't deside is it better with or without cranes, so a compromise:
Click to enlarge

Cranes needed some heavy modification, and still, they don't look nice... It's hard to get them out of that sky.
