*note to ausie, can you please send me your two from seattle? one wasnt in 1;1700 though
ausie December 5th, 2009, 12:40 PM 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.
WiGgLz01 December 5th, 2009, 07:40 PM Sounds good ausie! You made the bank of america plaza I think and the 1111 third avenue.

I saw in sketchup model that I found in 3d Google warehouse a building connected to the tower.I didn't made it because I didn't know you'll need it.

skyscraperlover9595 December 12th, 2009, 12:07 AM i have a request, the columbia center in seattle
WiGgLz01 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.

WiGgLz01 December 26th, 2009, 08:51 AM So, this year I got a real exacto knife and an actual cutting mat and UHU glue stick and the cityscape 1 by lions 215 is already one of my absolute best! I also made the almas tower yesterday and it turned out really good too.

ATG_Chi-Town_87 January 31st, 2010, 06:58 PM oops wrong thread
WiGgLz01 January 31st, 2010, 07:30 PM 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...?
WiGgLz01 February 2nd, 2010, 04:11 AM hey everyone, i got a new model for you;) it took for ever to make it, the most effort ive put into a model is right here:
http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/2442/ritzcarltonvancouver.png
its the first model for the city of vancouver, as well as british columbia as a whole. i am still deciding what to do next, its going to be in washington i will tell you. i was trying for spokane but i am still researching if there is any good buildings to make. any suggestions? also, me and saltlakedrake (cf96) gots a secret project we are working on, it should be done by spring break 2010:)

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/1259/fifthcolumbia.jpg
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.
skyscraperlover9595 April 11th, 2010, 02:48 PM Yay!! I have the prototype
lestanac April 11th, 2010, 05:05 PM Wow that's really cool.... Those colours, that everything.. xD

WiGgLz01 April 13th, 2010, 05:26 AM 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:)
skyscraperlover9595 May 29th, 2010, 06:54 PM Are we still making models for this thread?
pdxor June 5th, 2010, 02:26 PM 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.
Eli case June 5th, 2010, 02:38 PM hi welcome to the forms
skyscraperlover9595 June 5th, 2010, 03:49 PM Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here!
pdxor June 6th, 2010, 02:35 PM Thank you, lurked for several years, finally decided to join, thought Portland needed more representation on this website.
skyscraperlover9595 June 6th, 2010, 05:34 PM You are so right! We do need more Portland models.

ChicagoFreak96 June 6th, 2010, 10:49 PM Sweet! How about Capitol Center Plaza? BTW, Could u do some frome other cities in the state lik Idaho Falls or my town, Nampa?
skyscraperlover9595 June 6th, 2010, 11:36 PM Chicagofreak96, I am tired of you giving me tons and tons of requests. I only get to use a computer once a week. I will make what I can make.
ChicagoFreak96 June 7th, 2010, 05:16 AM I don't give u tons of requests! I'm just saying u could make models from other cities in Idaho and not just Boise!
skyscraperlover9595 June 8th, 2010, 12:28 AM Yes, but you have
pdxor June 11th, 2010, 02:26 PM Thought of a couple of other models that would be interesting to see someday, The Portland Building for sure, very colorful, the state capitols of Washington and Oregon, and the old Kingdome and the Memorial Coliseum.
skyscraperlover9595 August 18th, 2010, 02:05 PM After much time, here is a model for this thread, The Harbour Centre in Vancouver:
