Welcome to my thread friend,

Firstly, I'm not trying to be rude, but I will not take requests, nor collaborate.
I simply wanted to create a page to allow others the chance to build my models, as so many of you have done (which I have enjoyed greatly).

The majority of my models will be from New York City; But I may do some from Boston, Baltimore, Wilmington or Philly being that those are the cities that have personal meaning to me.

I only have Paint to work with, so these models will not be anywhere near the detail of many models on here, but I've done one thus far and I admit I am quite proud of it!

Please don't expect a new model every day, week, maybe even month... I am a college student with 35 hour work weeks and spend a considerable amount of time building your models, so when one of mine pops up, please don't hound me for another and just enjoy what I can do. I wouldn't have spent time creating this thread if I didn't want others to enjoy my models.

I have not tried to use Rei's scale yet, I may in the future but I'm just eying the buildings for now.

Lastly, I can build a computer from scratch, but I have no idea how to do certain things like posting pictures in posts (or make a damn avatar for my account), so until I figure that out, I'm just going to post links to the models on my photobucket account.



Without further hesitation my first model is the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Times Square. I just realized I never included a base for the model since I have a sheet of sidewalk looking terrain that I just cut off pieces for most bases. If you feel inclined to make a base for it, or modify it in any way please feel free (this model and any future models). Please just post what you do, as I would love to see your creativity!

:cheers:

welcome to the forum and great new models and the way to post pics are copy the url of your pic and find the icon on the message box
that looks like mountains and paste the url there

Hi CNTower! Thank you for the greetings!

I assumed the mountain looking picture allows us to post pictures on the page, however I don't know where to find a url for the image. Is that from online, or can I get it from my pictures folder on my computer?

well you have to upload the pic on what ever you upload it on and right click it and then click properties and copy url (adress) and then paste it on the mountain looking thing well click it first then paste it

???... no pic

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/RamadaRenaissanceHotelTimesSquare2.jpg

I've never done this before, took me a couple tries, I couldn't find anything that said properties when I right clicked the image. I'll try to remember what to do for future posts haha. I also tried to delete the blank post, no luck though.

you cant delete post only mods can and the properties should have been at the very bottom when you right click

Thank you for the heads up! I did end up finding the [IMG] link, I had to get it by viewing the image from the album instead of the image directly. I actually got a URL from going into the image info, but when i posted it that is what caused the blank post. Either way its all good now! Thank you again!

WOW!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! One question though, are your models at 1:1700 scale?

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! Like I said in my first post though, I'm pretty much eying my models, so its not an exact science. I'm not going to call it 1/1700 scale, but i found that when i printed it at 65% using page set up in Microsoft Paint, it comes out to scale compared to my other models, all of which I print at 75% to make sure they fit entirely on a piece of paper. I'm not going to modify what I have now or anytime soon to make sure it absolutely is 1/1700, but if you feel inclined to by all means go right ahead.

Use this:
http://a.imageshack.us/img34/3927/400mmark.png
Just drag it into MS Paint, go to skyscraperpage.com, choose the building you want, and draw it to scale. That's how I do it. :)

Thank you, I do have Rei's scale already saved to my models file, like I said though, I have no plans to mess with making it completely accurate for the time being though. I'm going to leave that to anyone who truly desires a 1/1700 model :colgate:

I know you are not taking requests, but I just wanted to give you a suggestion. Maybe the Bell Atlantic Tower in Philly. Like I said you don't have to make this one. Oh and just to let you know, I am totally building 2 Times Square tomorrow. Oh and if its not to much, could you visit my website, and tell me what you think?

Welcome to SkyscraperCity Hanzie!!! I am Skyscrapers144, you may call me SS144 for short. I like your 1st model!!!!! Way better then mine, lol. Anyways since you like New York skyscrapers why don't you come visit the New York City Skyscraper Models thread!!!! Click here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1185583) to view!!!

That reminds me, could you post my New York models too?

Amazing job, Hanzie! Congrats & Welcome to our forum!
I only have Paint to work with, so these models will not be anywhere near the detail of many models on here, but I've done one thus far and I admit I am quite proud of it!
Look at my models - they are created with Paint too. So you too can make detailed model. True my models created in larger scale.

Hanzie everyone here uses Paint too and their models come out as detail as the ones you have seen!!!!!! That means you can make them the way we do!!!

Except me. I use Paintbrush. Its a program for Mac users. Yes I have a MacBook:banana:

Thank you all for the kind words!

I had no idea that all these incredibly detailed models were made with paint, that's extremely impressive!

Bell Atlantic Tower would be cool to make, however, I'm still kind of in the box stage at the moment, and while I'm sure I could pull it off, I'd rather save it until I'm more experienced doing this.

I have started a second one, which I'd like to get done before classes begin. I am using the scale so I guess this will be the first legit model of mine haha. All I'm saying is that its in NYC, and its extremely tall for how skinny it is, which narrows it down to one of two really haha

Also started saving in PNG, however Ramada might be blurry in parts (especially the billboards) because I had a little trouble finding unobscured views of the billboards dead ahead. Having thought on it a while I probably will redo the model at some point, I've even thought about just making the frames of the screens and such and having a blank spot where anyone could put whatever they like.

Yaya!! ^^

First of all, welcome... I'm sure you'll have a great time here... It is a really good start, if it's your first model...

very nice start and welcome to the forms!

Hanzie, I made your 2 Times Square!

That's awesome!

I also literally just finished putting the new model together, so...

785 8th Ave.

In 1/1700th scale

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/7858thAve.png


I'm just fascinated by how skinny this tower is (about 8m) and how tall it is (172.5m!)

The folding tabs are very small on this, if I could have made them bigger I would have, regardless, I'm sure this won't be a problem for any of you. And for your reference, the finished product...

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/7858thavepic.jpg

note: (the slim long piece on the front goes on an angle, and you can see the roof of the Brazilian grill is double layered on the back, I accidentally made it too long and just wanted it to look like it had an edge instead of abruptly stopping. This issue has been fixed on the finished product and shouldn't give you any trouble. I did not fix the roof of 785 itself to exactly where you should fold it, but I'm sure you can just fold it when you're assembling it.)

very nice!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a very interesting building, good job:)

Thank you! I'm considering doing the entire block that its located on, a bunch of low rise stiff. I just think it would make a good foreground to have low rise buildings in my city. Make it look more realistic.

So true:)

Very nice model Hanzie! Keep it up! ;)

just a question, which of the three guys is Hanzie? or is it three on one account....

just a question, which of the three guys is Hanzie? or is it three on one account....
maybe its the dude in the middle. my guess.

Good guess Skyscrapers144! hahaha, that picture is about 6 years old, a couple of friends from high school and we had a party, and for some reason we decided to stick q-tips up our noses and take a picture... it just makes me crack up every time.

I had been designing more low rise buildings next to 785, but i gave it a rest for today and just spent time building more models.

Can you please post pictures of your collection? I would live to see what it looks like!

Also if you look in that picture, you can see WTC Mexico

Also if you look in that picture, you can see WTC Mexico
Oh yeah, just noticed that.

New model tonight. First the bad news: it's not the entire block 785 is on, I actually got fairly far on that and it got deleted somehow, I don't think I shall return to it either. It was a lot of work and just hurt my feelings when I realized it was gone. But Ive stuck with low rise for this, and probably the next couple too. The good news: I've still created a full block. Everything is the same on the block (they differ in color) however, I think you'll like it. Once i print it out and construct it I will post it. Btw, they aren't actual buildings, but they are inspired by some.

thats bad news about losing the stuff but good new about the other stuff

Cool! Did you see my picture?

I did see your picture, and I really like it! You have quite the collection! And as for the buildings i had done on that block, it is a shame, but if they hadn't been destroyed I probably wouldn't have had the inspiration to do what I have done. Sure its no where near as diverse as the block, but every good city needs some upper class row homes! haha, they're tiny little buggers which is why its been over an hour and I still have only half of them built. I'm taking a small break now, ill probably finish them up in a few, but I wont keep you all waiting...

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/RowHomesmodel.png

They're nothing special, I designed them in about an hour and a half tonight, but what city would be complete without? hahaha, they don't look too bad either, and if you go into paint, you can make them any color combo you can think of! I think I'll probably work on some more low rise stuff tomorrow too, maybe get some small shops in.
I'll post some pics of my city in a few... Out for now.

This is revolutionary. Now that I am taking a break for a while with my city I will start on a true city using these. Then when my collection returns I am going to put the buildings in and have these apartments in between. Perfect idea:)

great work on those dude. tis a shame about the other ones though. ttyl

Nice job Hanzie!!! I like them. ;)

Absolutely amazing!

very nice

I have a new building for you when I get back from the campus later, Ive put a good 3 days into it trying to get the colors all right. Its in Times Square, and I know I said I was going to work on low rise, but I really wanted to do this one!

okay cool!

oh nice avatar

Thank you Eli!

Sorry this didn't get posted last night,

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/TimesSquareTowerModel.png

Times Square Tower, there is only one thing i couldn't get right on this, the wall with the tab for the triangular section on the roof is too long by about a cm, but its easily folded. Other than that its tough to get giant billboard pictures to turn up clear at such a tiny scale, so hopefully it doesn't look too bad. I'm completely happy with it though.

Correction, not the one with the tab, its the one to the far left in the pic that will meet up with the tab.

MAMA MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^ :applause:

Great job, hahzie! ;)

wow amazing!

Incredible!

Thank you everyone! There is currently a large circular structure and complex under construction on my computer, will probably be done by Tuesday.

What city?

Its located in NYC like the others have been thus far :D

Circular structure complete... it wasn't too square and took longer than I thought it would. Its more detailed structurally than anything else Ive ever done before, which could either be a great thing, or it may make it too difficult, either way its going to be a lot of tiny tiny pieces. I'm going to start work on the "tomb stone" now bwahahahaha :lol:

Is it Madison Square Garden?

Gents, I do believe this is my masterpiece. I have put so many hours into this in the past 4 days that aside from school work sleep and eating, this is pretty much what I've dedicated all my time to. I give you Madison Square Garden and Two Penn Plaza. I have not the energy to assemble this right now having just completed it and it being 4am. This might be one of those models that takes a good few hours to build, and I just need sleep, but I said Tuesday, and it most certainly is Tuesday.

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/MadisonSquareGarden.png


http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/TwoPennPlaza.png


Being that I haven't built it yet, I do not know what the faults are, so build at your own risk. You'll note that there are certain pieces that are just copies of whats on the roofs, they aren't necessary, but I use heavy grain paper and Ive done this to layer parts that are just too thin to make a box with.

Regardless, it should look awesome in your city, especially right next to One Penn Plaza. Can't recall who made that model, but it is an awesome one!


As I said a while back, I'd post pictures of my city... This does not contain the most recent buildings I've put together (this was right after the row homes).

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/City.jpg

:cripes: Passing out now...

HOLY F*CKING SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:gaah: lions and i are in the middle of building that!!! none the less good work

I also like your little collection there. Very clean and nice :)

Ausie, I'm very sorry, I had no idea you and Lions were building this. I actually chose to do this simply because I had got a good bit into 425 5th ave and then saw that Skyscraperlover9595 was building it. I'd still like to see what the two of you create if you choose to continue work on it, because this is no reason what so ever to halt work. There's no wrong in multiple interpretations :)
Ausie, despite the frustration, which I can easily understand because this project kicked my @$$, thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it!


Skyscraperlover9595, thank you for making me lol first thing I woke up when I saw that first post hahaha! And thank you for the kind words on my city! I try to make it as clean looking as possible. Ive thought about redoing the spires on the Citic Plaza, simply because they're just way too thick, but other than that I'm completely happy with it. I think there are somewhere around 60-70 buildings there, a lot of them are unfortunately hidden because I layered them trying to make it look somewhat realistic. Well as realistic as a city so dense could look.

Holy Jesus! Amazingly, Hanzie! Keep it up!

I actually finished 425 Fifth Avenue

its ok, u did a great job. i'll post my/lions version soon. ttyl

Very nice Hanzie! Love the model and your collection pic!!!

Thank you all very much! I'm glad you enjoyed MSG. Its been a hectic week (Halo Reach is way too addictive hahaha) and work school etc... I just started on a new model yesterday, not too far into it, but everything is measured out now and I just need to clad it. I'm giving NYC a break for the time, and Ill be working on some wicked Baaston stuff hahaha. So I don't go and make something others are working on, I probably should post what I'm building...

Definitely:
John Hancock Tower

Most likely:
Custom House Tower
Prudential Tower
Federal Reserve Bank
One and Two International Place

I might even try 111 Huntington Ave, I actually plan on it, but I'm going to do the others first because I know trying to do the crown and setbacks will be as frustrating as detailing MSG haha. I'll definitely be working solely on Boston for the time being though.

Its going to be great to see some building from boston being made im not even sure we have any boston buildings yet i wish you luck and i cant wait to see some new buildings from you

Thank you Lions! I don't think I've seen any Boston buildings either on here either. Boston does have some really cool buildings though. Everything from colonial era to ultra modern, and it all mixes so well.

Because Hancock has such reflective cladding, and we cant make shiny paper for the printer, I currently have 2 versions of the building, one with clouds on it and one plain, you can pick whichever one you want to build.

Oooh boston! :) ^^

Post them!!

Philly is pretty much my home city (and I haven't done any Philly yet, but I plan to), Boston is like home away from home though, most of my living non immediate family lives there, so I felt I need to show a little B-town love. I'm thinking about doing night versions of everything I've done too. I might actually start by doing a night time Johnny Hancock along with the other 2 versions. I've had several ideas lately actually. One being that I'd like to do the Westin hotel LA... I would make the form of it, and do some cladding on it, but then for the shiny part, wrap it in aluminum foil, maybe draw on some mullions and floors with a black sharpie see how it turns out. Or if one had the patience of time, and maybe a string of lights from the dollar store or something, actually make buildings where you'd cut out certain windows designated, have a inner structure colored the same as the cladding that fit fairly close, and put the lights imbedded into a piece of cardboard, you'd have a base with a hole in it, and the building could sit on top, you could make roads, avenues, and you could turn it on and off, Its insanely detailed and would take a lot of effort, but it would be cool!

Please post the Hancock Tower!

I will, patience, I'm not finished it yet, Still have to finish the one with the clouds, add tabs, and make a base. Haven't started on the night one yet. I'm going to work on the Custom House Tower next. Depending on how the tower comes out, I'm thinking about doing Philly City Hall in the near future. I might do the Bell Atlantic Tower as requested, but if I do, that wont be for a few weeks, maybe months. That Boston list is whats coming first for now though.

I was actually just there. I got some great photo's of it!

good luck, as for shiny paper why not photo paper? nightfly used it for his shiny buildings.

Glossy paper would be a good thing to invest in! Thank you Ausie! I do but the photo paper, its matte though. I like it because the buildings take much nicer form with heavier stock. I think the next time I get out that way, I'll pick some up.

Skyscraperlover, what all did you get to go see on your trip while in Boston? I remember the first time I went there I was up in Boston for my great grandmothers funeral. She died a week before my 16th birthday and for my birthday, my family took me into the heart of the city to go exploring, and our first stop was JHT. We went in, and my uncle had told me there was an observation deck. So we get there and we find that they permanently closed it after 9/11, so we just walked around Little Italy and Quincy Market. It was cool, but I was always disappointed I never got to go to the top of JHT.

I saw The Hancock Tower, Prudential Tower, most of the financial part, Zakim Bridge, and the Uss Constitution

Nice! That sounds like you had a good trip

Alright, haven't started on a night version yet, but here's with clouds and without. These are actually modded from my original I just built a couple minutes ago, There was an issue with the low-rise portion, the base and the color. I had the mullions on my version as a darker blue, and when i printed it out, it still looked good but it was darker than I intended. So I fixed the low-rise, the base and the mullion color so it should come out without flaws and it'll be brighter. I think I'm going to hold on the night version now and just go straight into designing Custom House Tower.

Just a few shots of my models in my city. Btw, do any of you name your cities? I haven't yet found a name that I think suits it.

Very nice city! My city name is New Philadelphia

Thank you Skyscrapers144, and yes Skyscraperlover, it is in 1/1700th just like all of them, except for my first one the Ramada Renaissance.

I am making your Madison Square Garden right now!

Finished!

Thank you so much Russian Sam! That means a lot to me to hear from you that my models are detailed! Your Oklahoma City is so detailed, it looks like the official city model that they would display in the Oklahoma state house! I can't wait to see Tulsa and Midland completed! Both are looking amazing thus far!

:cheer::cheer::cheer::nocrook::cheer::cheer::cheer:
"Detailed" rock!

Skyscraperlover that looks really good! I see you cheated with the roof of the garden though :D just kidding, those little tabs to hold the ring at the top up were infuriating to cut out haha. I actually cheated making the garden, its supposed to have 48 towers holding up that ring, if you count on my model though it only has 40. And I'll tell you, trying to glue all 40 of those little tabs to the ring was almost as troublesome as trying to cut them out! Looks excellent though!

Detailed does rock! All of those little subtle details that you put on your models that some might not notice at first glance makes the buildings you've created that much more special! In a way, the details create authentication too! Most modelers will create as basic a roof as they can, I'm guilty of this, though its not a crime. Russian Sam, you add so much detail to the roofs! AC units, stairwell exits, ramps leading into parking garages... absolutely amazing!

Oh, If I do model on a larger scale, they would be more detailed than it is now, believe me. For example, I would add to the old buildings the fire stairs and lights with wires in the streets! EME (Excuse My English)

Thanks! Took me two hours.

That would be absolutely amazing! You ought to do that with your favorite building ever, just completely detail every aspect of it, it would be phenominal! As for your english, you are very very well spoken sir! Your English is as good as anyone else on here, thats impressive! I find learning a foreign language to my own extremely difficult. I took Italian for 3 years of high school and I only remember a handful of words and a couple phrases.

Skyscraperlover, that's awesome for only two hours! Ill tell you the single hardest part of designing the garden was the kind of archway over the connecting bridge that part of the garden structure itself, and the arranging of the cable lines on the roof. For some reason those were just the trouble pieces. I think I put around 30 hours of designing into it.

Wow! So what is your next model?

I've been building Custom House Tower in Boston. Right now it actually looks really good, I'm trying to add as much detail to the tower as I can since its a smaller building apposed to what I've done in the past. Ive done some really cool effects with the windows and light. I also just converted it to a night time version too, both of which will be included in the final product, just like Hancock was with the plain and clouds. I also just realized yesterday before work that I spelled Hancock on the model with 2 k's hahaha, thats one of my finer moments trying to speak my own language hahaha

Yay! I love Boston!

@Hanzie dude ur skylien looks awesome! :D

Like your Madison Square Garden bro. Think ill make later this week, great job

Thank you very much quanghuynhchung and Dapperheid Tower!

Without any further adieu, here is the Custom House Tower in Boston.

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/CustomHouseTower.png

I'm quite proud of this one, It is kind of hard to see in the printed version, but there is so much detail in this model, well both haha. I've only built the day one but it looks amazing!

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/CHT.jpg

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/CHT2.jpg

Remember when building it, the part with the stairs, which is barely visible faces the plaza. Cheers! :cheers:

great work dude. i like the night version that came with it. it is very good. not to be annoying or anything but what do you plan next. i am now planning a night city so i'll include it as well.

I love it!!!!!!!! Btw do you mind posting the night version one in the Skyscrapers at Night thread. thanks.

I remember seeing this building! Awesome work!

Hey DJ sets the rhythm....

Absolutely amazing!
Super coolest Hanzie!
I llike your model!
Show off the total
Your full collection!
It will be so impression!
-------------------------
Excuse my english

Amazing work i really like the detail u put into it

Thank you Ausie! I still plan to do a night version of John Hancock Tower, maybe the others too. However, my next project which is already underway is the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston, its the big H hahaha. Thank you Skyscrapers144! I shall post it in the Night thread for you. Thank you skyscraperlover9595! This is the building that seems to dominate the large historical section of Boston, I think that since this one turned out so well for a smaller more intricate one, I will be doing Philly City Hall in the near future! Thank you Russian Sam! That's an awesome rap! And talking to you about all the detail just made me think even harder about what I could do to detail this building even more! And, Thank you Lions_215! I'm really happy with the detail in it too! I love how small it is on the skyline, like it doesn't really impact my city a whole lot, but its like extra detail in the city, it adds even more variety. That's one of the things I really enjoy about early skyscrapers. They just have so much extra flair, so many intricacies.

Federal Reserve Bank is well underway! I currently have almost completed versions of both day and night for the main tower. I have a feeling the low rise at the base will be the more challenging aspect of this tower. I like doing the night versions a lot actually, and its very easy. I'm also thinking about potentially including historical landmarks, maybe like one with every Boston skyscraper I do. They'd just be like a bonus building kind of like how Puzz 3-d included the smaller landmark with their skyscrapers like the ESB with the Met Life tower, Chrystler with the Radiator building, I wish they still made those, I miss them a lot! I think I have damn near every one of those except for Taipei 101. I'm going to keep which ones I'm doing under wraps though, its all going to be pretty tiny stuff, but I have said in the past I wanted to do more low rise. All of these will be from Boston too.

i like night buildings too!!! ^^ Btw i loveeeeee your models!! I wanna make them but unfortunately i have no ink yet.

Thank you Skyscrapers144! I posted Custom House Tower on the night thread for you a moment ago. When I finish my Federal Reserve Bank, I'll post the night version of that on there as well.

Yes!!!!!!! ^^ Can't wait to see more work from you!!!! :) :)

This building is the most detailed I believe I have ever made to date. It is about 99.9 percent accurate, except for a tiny parking garage protrusion on the back of the building, this thing is awesome looking, and I haven't even started work on the tower!

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/FederalReserveBankmodelpics.jpg

now that is sexy. lol. its great

hahaha thank you Ausie!

Such amazing work love it

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/6262626266262.jpg


Though I do not have the night version completely done, I should have it up by tomorrow night. Here it is, the Federal Reserve Bank Building, Boston's 3rd tallest!


http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/FederalReserveBuildingBoston.png


You will get angry, curse and possibly shout at some of the pieces, believe me, the end product just looks so damn nice though hahaha

very very nice hanzie great job:)

Please note that piece ingestion can also be hazardous, if you are at the point which you want to eat the model, please see a physician. hahaha

Thank you very much CNTower246810!

lol your welcome

Wow nice job Hanzie, your models keep getting better and better.
I know what you mean by making tiny models, when I was making my 860-880 Lake Shore Drive the paper would start to peal back it was so tiny lol, but it's always worth it :nuts:

great!!!!!!!!!

now that really is sexy. especially that mini bonus one. is the bonus one near the model? or is it just somewhere else in the city.

:eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::e

epic building great job

The FRB is located on the river front, kinda just outside the cluster of skyscrapers that makes up the financial district, The OSH is located about 8 blocks north north west from FRB right smack in the middle of the financial district.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I love it Hanzie! Great work! :)

Gonna make it today!

Finished!

Could you do Faneuil Hall? Also, here is your Custom House Tower:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/531/imageem.jpg
I am currently working on 785 Eighth Avenue

These buildings look great

I plan on releasing Faneuil Hall in the near future, which model its with though will be a mystery though. I'm still in the process of converting FRB to night, its probably 60% converted right now. I have also been working on I.M Pei's American International Building in Wilmington, DE the past couple days as just a small side project. At a whopping 86m, its the second tallest building in the state hahaha. I might do the 100.6m Chase Center located diagonally across the street as well, hell, might just make a model of the complete intersection. I've also been eying some Philly buildings for the near future as well.

Do you like my models? Also, I made Faneuil Hall so you don't have to make it

It will be great to see more boston buildings made and even some more phili as it aslo has a beautiful skyline
i cant believe i just said that phoenix and philis arent good friends lol its a rivery to see who can maintain the fifth biggest city title and so far its still phoenix lol

Damn....

Hahahahaha lol jk but yeah cant wait to see more boston building

I'm really considering doing One and Two International Place for my next Boston one, I'm still planning on putting my Faneuil Hall with one of the next couple Boston models. One of the other Boston buildings I've been thinking of doing is the Prudential Tower. Heck, maybe I'll just take a week or so and make them all for the same release. Give me a week to a week and a half, and I'll release the 2 tallest in Delawhere? in the mean time. Philly really has me thinking of doing the Murano, and the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, and the St. James. Might hold out a little longer on that City Hall. I'd like to do Donald Schaefer Building in Baltimore too!

And yes, you're models are awesome!

sweet!

Such a variety of models u might be doing its going to look amazing

I'm almost finished converting FRB, I'll post it when I wake up in the morning. Pei's American International looks awesome completed! I'm holding out to post it until I've finished Chase Manhattan Center across the street, which is looking really awesome itself at the moment! I'll be doing most of the prominent buildings in Wilmington at some point. I'm thinking I'll just make a list, and after completing the rest of what I'd like to accomplish with Boston, I'll just start eating away at that list at random. So...

Boston:
One International Place

Two International Place

Prudential Tower

111 Huntington Ave

First National Bank

Philadelphia:
Murano

Residences at the Ritz-Carlton

St James

Philly City Hall (this ones going to include a special bonus building, can you say yo Adrian? haha)

Baltimore:
Donald Schaefer Building

Wilmington:
American International

Chase Manhattan

WSFS Building

Wilmington Trust HQ

Brandywine Building


And the way I work, sporadically, I'm liable to add even more buildings as they become interesting to me. So theirs your uncompleted official list. The bonus buildings that I have planned will be completely spontaneous (aside from whats already planned) and I shall not reveal any details. Though, if they're not in the same city as the main building, they will be directly related in some way to that building.

WOW!!!!!!! That's a lot of buildings!!! ^^

I love the Murano!

I love the Murano too! I already have the list of bonus buildings too, one of which will have 2 and several of which are in clusters together. Each will have a night version as well, so counting day and night versions as different buildings, I'm currently looking at 46 buildings. Possibly 48 if I do the Borgata complex in Atlantic City. For now I think I'll work on finishing Boston up.

Wow a lot of buildings good luck with them

AWESOME!!!!!!

Muranod is a car ,isn't it?

This is the Murano:

Also, here is your 745 8th Avenue:
http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/1286/imagexx.jpg

i likey! ^^

Thanks! I keep forgetting to take a picture of his Times Square Tower

That looks awesome right there!

Here is your Times Square Tower:
http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/9657/imageoxa.jpg

came out looking great

I underestimated Chase Manhattan Center... I finish up the front and sides (each has several hours in it making it look as realistic as I can). Then, I got a picture of the back... several one story setbacks (about 8 pixels per story) angles and all. It'll take me the week before I get on track with Boston.

sounds awesome

Yep! ^^

Here are some pictures for you, Hanzie:

nice pics

Those are excellent! Thank you!

No problem. So what is your next model?

I still haven't finished Chase Manhattan Center yet, Its so monotonous that I had to give it a break for a while. I'm still planning to release it and American International, which has both day and night versions completely done atm, I just need to satisfy my hunger for something a bit more out of the box right now. Its actually almost completed, but I'm not saying what it is until its posted. You know what I do for windows making the colors ascend and descend? There's that, but the walls do that too... I hope it looks as cool as I think it will when I finish it. I might post American International tonight by itself though and just come up with a plate to link the towers bases once CMC is complete. I think I'll do that... American International sometime after 1045. Both versions.

OMG!!!!!!!!! You're making American International Building?!?!?! This one: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=131 ??????????????? ^^

Tha American International Tower is one of the hardest buildings to make. This will look amazing

Thats an amazing building and a hard one to make good luck with it

I hate to disappoint but its the one in Wilmington, DE as I've stated before. It is kind of unique though in its own way, and the wide windows on it are reminiscent of Federal Reserve Bank Building. If the general consensus is disappointment though I'll wait to release it.

Although, if you do challenge me to make it... does anyone dare to challenge me? The list can wait if this is what would stun and amaze hahaha

Please do it!

Alright, measurements taken... paint program opened... slingshot engaged!

This is gonna rule

Bwahaha!!! I'm almost done measuring out all the front diagram of it. Once I get that done I'll give you a preview

This is gonna look so awesome!

Sweet!!!!!!!

Btw, does anyone know if there's an existing model of Carnegie Hall Tower? I know there's a photo of one in Tim's pictures, but I didn't know if there was one that everyone had. If one exists would you please tell me where to go?

Yep there is. It was made by Elcid1911. Here ya go: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7871/carnegiehalltower.png

Alright i look forward to the preview

Awesome! Thanks Skyscrapers144!!! That just made my night! http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/AIBFront.png

I'm going to start coloring tonight, more elaborate work tomorrow

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Amazzzzzzzing!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

Oh and for anyone who does have interest in it, here is I.M. Pei's American International Building in Wilmington, DE

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/AIBwilmington.png

Thank you Skyscrapers144!

You're welcome. ^^ Btw......wow!!!!!!!!!!! Once again.........amazzzzzing. Just beautiful!!!!!!!!

I shall leave you tonight with a full progress report...

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/AIBFront-1.png


Crashing on the bed in 3... 2... 1...

Awesome!!!!!!! ^^ Btw night-night!

That is incredible

Im loving that diagram more and more and awesone job on the other building.

Thank you all! I've currently got 3 different cladding choices going on for the day time, I figure I've seen this building come up in conversations a bunch on here, so I guess it's kind of special to everyone in some way. I'm just going to go all out... multi-day/ night, maybe multi-night, let me give you an idea of what I've got thus far...

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/AIBFront-2.png

That is absoulutely amazing

Im really liking those diagrams

I think the left one looks like a modernization of it, the middle one more like a classical look, and the right one the closest to the real one

vey very nice hanzie!

Middle one, the left one looks a little too modern as you said and the right looks too bland, middle looks excellent

Thank you for the insight. I like the way the middle one looks best too. I May do nothing with the windows for that one, just plain black and I think it will look about as accurate as I can get it being that I barely have any good quality pictures to work from (please if you choose to post pics, it would be best to post a link to them than them directly on the page since my computer has been having a lot of problems with loading pics I haven't uploaded lately). I've actually almost finished the diagrams for the left one (the ultra modern one, I was just really curious to see if I could get it modernized and see if I could still retain a sense of the building's architectural essence. What I've come up with is interesting to say the least hahaha, but I think its unique. I've figured out how to kind of bypass the impossible (or seemed impossible) setbacks. Ive measured out a base tower, two actually, which will then have the cladding and detail wrapped around them. I warn, this will probably only get the effect if your using heavy paper, which I suggest using anyway. If we simplify the way that we think about constructing the tower, the construction including the piece cutting becomes simplified and its quite easy. I'm about to test my fantasy building out and the inner towers for AI. I'll keep you all posted. But for now enjoy the pretty colors hahaha


http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/AIBFront-3.png

Omg i love it
It looks perfect

Now's as good a time as any to unveil my first fictional building. I give you the Sundown Casino And Resort. Don't let all the colors scare you, it actually looks pretty cool all put together!

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/FantasyCasino.png

Whoooaaaaaaa man I'm freaking out! Fantastic! Will defiantly build AIB and Sundown Casino

Oh nice a las vegas style casino
i like it

Thank you! I realize the name is corny as anything but that's what the cladding made me think of haha. It is compact for a casino, but I tried to think of what an architect might come up with if they had a plot of land in a city as dense as NYC and were told to come up with something, so that's the inspiration for it, that and I wanted to do something colorful haha.

It's halucigenic!

hahaha, I'd like to think that mixing colors is what I do best. I really like how the entrances turned out! I might try to do an expansion using that pattern, like a shorter tower, maybe skinny and super wide like the Vegas ones! I think I just have Vegas on the brain though, I'm so extremely stoked for Fallout New Vegas to come out next week! I feel like that anticipation is just showing in everything I do haha.

We can definitly see the las vegas in your models and its amazing hiw your models turn out. With such great details

yeah i likey!!!

wow, very nice!

American International Building has been extremely successful in all the tests thus far. I also wanted to post that I've chose the bonus building(s) to go with it. I will tell you that one is a shorter building that radiates art-deco just like American International. The other if I do 2, is a taller addition to an otherwise predominantly low rise area.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

Post it! Please!!!!

Yes Hanzie, please!!

This is gonna look so awesome

Can you post a pic of the progress please

Hanzie, where is it?

Patience, it probably won't be done for another 2 to 3 weeks, I've just been so extremely busy I've had no time for this the past few days. It'll be posted when its posted.

Okay, thanks for letting me know!

Sure, I won't keep you completely out of the loop though...

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/Firstthreeteirseastside.png


That's the first 3 tiers on the East side

SSC forum glitch haha

I love it!

I'm glad! I'm still going to detail it more, but I really need to get the whole structure build-able first hahaha

very very nice work hanzie!

Looks great i like the detail so far

hi hanzie :) big fan of your work, keep it up!

Thank you everyone! I truly enjoyed your Carnegie Hall Tower Elcid1911! This is a crappy picture, but I'm rushing to get to work. Phase 2 of American International testing begins tonight!

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/1010101010.jpg

Oh.....my........god

Oh my goodness thats alot of pieces

Holy mama!!! Wow! Nice!

The thing is, basically I wanted to show you all how complex it will be, but that's only the majority of the lower set backs and the main tower rise for the front and back. That doesn't even include any of the towers sides nor any of the crown! You all may find this upsetting, but Fallout New Vegas just released 45 minutes ago, and of course I was there for the midnight release, so that's tempting me. Additionally Wednesday is my school day and I haven't yet started any of the homework quizzes or studied for the test. I'll post more by weeks end but its going to slow down a little more again. Don't worry though, lots of progress has been made.

And, to let you all know how serious I am about making this building the right way and look good, I have never before made a test model that doesn't even include all the pieces before using my good paper. I want to make sure that the final product comes out perfect, so I'll be posting a pic of the test all put together for you once I get that done hopefully tonight sometime.

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/hanzie8806/unfinished%20backup/000000000000000000.png


The test has been completely successful in that I can see where I need to layer the paper more, and that I have all of my measurements thus far correct or just about. The only part I fudged up on building it was the 6th tier on the east side, I glued it to the main shaft where as I should have glued it to the 5th tier, but I've devised a plan to fix that already.

I also wanted to note that while this one doesn't look near as good as the final product will be (I was hesitant to post a pic because the test does look a mess (but that's why its a test haha))... this sucker could double as a paper weight its so heavy and dense.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! ^^ Good job Hanzie!

This great work hanzie many people have been wanting this building for so long and you're the only one who has managed to do it so i am greatful for this building and the time and effort you put into this one
