This took me the entire day to make!

I built it from scratch, making the facade from photos i had of the building. I used FreehandMX to design it. It stand at 43 cm tall, and i put a lot of detail in it! I'm yet to put the sculpture in it...

Please let me know what you think :)

Impressive! Very detailed. I like the vertical columns and the items on top.

Thanks for the comments :)

I used 2 types of card stock, for the tower and the vertical columns i used .2mm thick cardstock, and the lower part of the elevated plaza i used the standard study board which is quite thin.

Greg, as for the roof, i used Google Earth for the image of the rooftop and i found a 3D render of the mechanical equipment on the roof so i had something to work off to know which parts were higher on the roof. Hope this helps

unfortunately, i only have the side of the building, the front and back files have corrupt which is annoying, but i will scan the front of the building, and then post them up. As for the base, i just worked off a ground plan which i will supply, and added details from pics.
