hey, i am happy to join the project but i am not sure which models u wanted. besides i will remake them since they were not to 1:1700 scale. using google earth to find some interesting buildings which are simple so i can have a break from my secret model. singapore is amazing but i return to australia early tuesady morning so i should be able to start modelling on the plane home and then either finish that model later tuesday arvo or start a new model and post the other one. i may not be able to post so i will email it to wig first so he can inform u and then post it later.

December 12th, 2009, 12:26 AM
I will make it definately!

I am also really really swamped with school these last two weeks of 2009, many assignments before we get out for winter break. I will resume on the smith tower sometime during next weekend. But yeah I will get to the Columbia center towards the end of this project. After smith tower, estimated time of competion should be Monday the 21st, and after that the rainier plaza which should be here by christmas. Allinall, this project will continue until spring, and by then I should have all the major buildings done.

Thanks ssl9595...and atg...I guess...

In my opinion it is the most beautiful building in seattle. The fifth and columbia tower, which hopefully will be built soon, will take its place. Speaking of fifth and columbia, I was looking at it and its way too hard:( if someone could please make the basic design and I could make the base and cladding...?

to make it work and look the best, mountain fold the tabs as well as the white lines in the middle of the fecade (triangles). also, the little supports on the bottom of the main pieces are just for looks, you may just cut them off if u want.

well, ausie contacted me today and we have both agreed on something, something that will make this the most complete project on this website. during the next few months, ausie and i, and probably a couple of you guys (ssl) will be posting like crazy. we are actually going to make the biggest bamf project you will see anywhere, and it is gonna incredible. i cant release details yet because it isnt set in stone, but like i said its gonna be one bamf project. i would love to see you all contribute to the project, it would really help us complete it. just contribute one model and we will be very greatful:D thank you for youre interest in this project and keep postin

also, ssl, nice building! on the other ones for this project, though the roofs are too big :( so could you please try and fix those. its either the roofs are too small or the sides arent wide enough. but good buildings:)

I would like to see some more buildings from Portland like Wells Fargo Tower, Koin Center, Fox Tower, Portland Plaza, PacWest Center, and maybe another take on the USBancorp tower, also the Mirabella, Ardea, John Ross, Meriwether West and East, Atwater Place, and Alexan from the SOWA district. That model of the Federal Building is perfect. It will be interesting to see what it looks like after the exterior is redone.
