Edit februari 17, 2009: the diagrams. No detailed instruction here. Use the white strips to fortify the structure. The base needs to be filled up entirely in order to carry the weight and to stabilize the building. The red dot signifies the size of the sphere on top. In order to get the same scale as STR's models, print these out four times smaller. Lots of luck!

Thank you. 30 Rock was a hell of a job. At the moment I'm designing 101 Park Avenue, American International (70 Pine), Chrysler Building, General Motors, Hearst Tower, New Yorker Hotel, as well as new and improved versions of the PanAm, Lipstick, 17 State and Citigroup Center. Don't hold your breath though, It'll take some month cos of work and study.

great!

wow you really cant appreciate it until you isolate the building and see it as it is. (in this case a model representation)

amazing!:)

:uh This Model Is Beautiful!!! I want to know how do you do models like that. It looks so realistic!! Bravo!!!

:O :O gorgeous model!

GOOD job there, love your models!

One of the best models I have ever seen, and believe me, I have seen a lot of them!!! Can you share it with us???

Wow I agree with all the people above. This is one hell of a model! It's very, very realistic. Also, elcid1911 asked this too, is there any way of sharing this awesome model? Thank you.

Amazing and increible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, I love it, I get really excited by this sort of thing, rock on skyscrapers. Look out for my pics of the model city I have built which should get posted as soon as I have worked out how to do it.It lights up at night and is relly impressive, I hope you like it when you see it. Keep up the good work.

I love this, but I don't know how it's done. I want to pu my own pics of my model on to the site but don't know how to do it yet.

:drool:

Hey NightFly, me again! Can you please upload the diagram for this too ? I love it ! :D :cheers:

I can post them but they lack instructions. That's the reason I didn't publish them. Let's do this: just start building it and if there's any problems, let me know.

Check later.

I bet I can do it without the instructions! Lets have it please. I'll get on my knees!

Just published the diagrams. Enjoy.

30 Rock? YOU rock!:yes::yes::yes:

hey TheNightFly... uhh...i have a bit of a dilema here. How should i print this?? I mean...the images are such different sizes and either landscape or portrait, so if i just keep them as is and fit the landscape ones on portrait sheets...will it still fit with the other pages? or will i have to andle some of the sheets to be landscape? Hope you understand that blabber and can help me out...or someone else on this site...I havent tried printing anything yet but ive done one of your other models and it took a LOOOOT of tries (and paper) to get the roof to fit in the building.
P.S...I'm new to this site...and...what's with these smilies? :banana: ???

I found some way from such situation. i made pages all the same in sizes, comparing sizes of vertical and horizontal "runners" at the right and at the bottom. hope i explain correct))

I just print out the landscape if the parts are too long for the paper. That's what I did when I built STR's WTC. http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/emoticon-cartoon-002.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons.php)

I didn't take enough time to make nice printable sheets. I just threw together all the elements. Lack of time, I'm sorry about that. But it should be fairly easy to copy and paste the elements onto printable sheets.

By the way, I added some missing pieces. Good luck.

Thanks for missing pieces!!!!

Hay Nightfly

I just completed the GE Building. It is a stunning building! Lol it took me many hours to complete, I did it to STR'S size so it was pritty difficult, but definitely worth all the effort.

I'm going to go and find all of your models and build them, they look very cool!

Do all of your models need to be scaled down 75% to be the same size as STR'S?

Hi NightFly,

first of all thank you very much. It is difficult to find a so detailed model.
I have a question: which is the ideal scale for this model?

Thanksss

^^ to answer ur question 1:1700 is the best scale for models of all heights but for such a detailed model i'd suggest perhaps 1:850.

OK, thanks,

I´ll take it into account.

1:1700 is the most common scale found here but you can modify the scale to fit your own needs. glad to be of service

Is this model at 1:1700 scale?

You have to print every page at a different scale. I would not recommend it for a beginner, this model is WAY too hard

I am going to cut out the extra details. I just want the building.

You will need the extra details. Look:

It's okay. I'll try my best

Here is a trick: To get them all to the same size, make sure the signature is the same size as the other pages

Models like these are very complicated
good luck with it

Thanks :/ but im up for it

Print at 50%. That is perfect for the 1:1700 scale

Not all the pages;)

yeah

That's the best model I've seen in my life! Awesome!!

This model is WAY too hard for you, because I wouldn't recommend you to build it. You might need more experience to do that. That's why I built CNTower's version, because that looks WAY easier.

I built both versions

thats because you had to test it:P

I would've made it anyway :P

:D

Where is Cntowers version? I want it and can't find it! Can someone PM it 2 me?

Just go on his models topic, first page, first post, and look for "30 Rockefeller Center"

I did not even see that!
Thanks Mutiix :) You really helped
