Thanks for looking! please leave Comments and Suggestions,And tell me wat you want me to do next!

That Sears model is brilliant, nothing beats fully dimensional surfaces, but it must be huge! roughly what's the scale?

And for suggestions I like they idea of doing citicorp. For some reason it gets overlooked a bit, but seen in context for (I think) 1977, it really broke the mold. Not only is it a very distinctive design, but the materials and the fact they tried to make some sort of public plaza at bottom make it very unique.

it's up to you

[Austin55]

393KB,Pretty small. The model is not actaully to scale,but to scale with itself. A averae sized tree is about halfway up in SU.

Citicorp is a goodin. + it wouldnt be to difficult. ESB is also upthere,but its a tough one.

[Ducov]

Oh cool, I see, it's just it looks so well in proportion wondered, but scaling stuff might be too much, I reckon it would take all the fun out of it.

Yeah citicorp would definitely be easier than ESB, but it would still look really good.

Another one too add to your list might be the American International Building in lower Manhattan, that really would be difficult one though.

[Austin55]

OK I added some more. There are hundreds more everywhere that I love,but just arent Classics. 311 South Wacker,BOA Dallas,BOA Sisco,etcFor example.

Citicorp Center,NYC

Qiuck and nice
only textures are concrte at top and base. no photos.

[Patrick]

Gosh I wish I had that much determinantion and time.

The Citigroup is kinda inacurate, but still nice!

[Mocholate]

Friggin awesome buddy

[Ducov]

The citicorp centre looks brilliant.

[Dac150]

Very nice austin. Your skill has improved to an outstanding level. Please keep at it, and I'm looking foward to the next one.

[verticalextropy]

those buildings look reallly great, Sears is out of this world but Citicorps's very well done too. Its lobby used to to be kind of my favorite indoors place in NYC. I also remember a sort of church-looking structure next to the base.

[Dac150]

I just took another look at the Citicorp and cannot believe the great job you did. Very well done!

[Peter]

Nice work on these Austin!! I see you have BoA Houston on your list. I would absolutley love to see that one.

[Austin55]

Dear lord,I hate the ESB now.

I plan on Doing Transamerica andwestin peachtree next. probably before i finish ESB to.

[Aleks]

Yeah, the top and the bottom of the Citigroup Building are too short but it looks awesome with all those details.

I love your Sears Tower. That was perfectly made and it looks so nice.

ESB... now that's something to look forward to!!! !!!

one of the greatest buildings ever concieved by civilization, anywhere.

[alphawolf]

Hell Yeah! It's been a while since I've seen a Peachtree model.

[Austin55]

Peechtree is lookin good. planning on finshing the podium and doing some ESB+ starting Transamerica,and maybe JHB,but that one is scaring me.


also redoing portions of Citi,more detail in the windows and base.

Sneak peek of peachtree,this ones fling along,expect it done this time next week. the antena is still majorly U/C and not to scale yet.

[verticalextropy]

looking god indeed. are you planning on making the whole lobby/base with that sweet detail?
