Enjoy!

very nice work! so do i print from paint on all of the buildings from SSM or what do i do? if i print from my pictures they come out right but i have heard that i need to print from paint.

too small! I can't really c it! lol :D

that is why i decided to make a jin mao tower tutorial with BIG pictures

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting anything lately but i've been away so yeah...
...anyway, someone asked for a photo of Marina Arcade built so I made it but I have yet to put the base on so here it is!
http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3248/dscf5950.jpg

I like the bottom part, and the colors look really realistic.

Here is another model I have just made, it is the Federation Tower:http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/2544/dscf5951.jpg
Thanks for designing this great model, JW117!:):):)

wow it came out nice

Here is another model I have just made, it is the Federation Tower:http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/2544/dscf5951.jpg
Thanks for designing this great model, JW117!:):):)

H2O 93 designed this model, not me... lol :rofl:
i think it will be better if u can post the image larger, so we can see your great models more clearly :tongue3:

Wow the folds are so clean and so precise! It turned ot better than mine!

H2O 93 designed this model, not me... lol :rofl:
i think it will be better if u can post the image larger, so we can see your great models more clearly :tongue3:

Whoops, my bad! I knew it it was by H20 but I didnt seem to type it in......:ohno:
Thanks for pointing it out jw117. And next time I will make the photo larger.

Hey guys, I was just wandering if people still wanting the tutorial for Oriental Pearl Tower. I have done half of it and I might just post that coz the part connecting the BB balls didnt work out that well.........
so, if there are any other requests for tutorials, then just post them here or else I might just pick some random ones that I havnt made yet:lol::lol::lol:

JKA, U should make a paper model man!

Yeah!


So I was wondering if there was a way to send a parts sheet to like kinkos or something and have them blow it up for you. That would be awesome because if jw117 makes the goungzhou financial center (west twin) then I want to make one in the right scale as well as a huge one (like a meter tall).

JKA, U should make a paper model man!

Well I have tried before but it didn't go as planned but I might have another try again. And Wig what is kinkos?

it's a store where u go and copy stuff! it's actually called fedexkinko's!

Fedex kinkos? U never heardof it? Well it is an office place where they blow up stuff like pictures and stuff, they sell larger paper and stuff, justeverything for office presentations and such.

Oh. Right, I dont think there are any in New Zealand, so that explains why I have never heard of it. So, do you want me to make the GZ towers once JK has designed them?

Yes!

Oh and jw117, are you making both east and west towers? West is the one completed, east is the one approved.

thats a shame i think they would off looked better being twin towers but at least one of them is getting built hopefully the east one too

Yeah. I wanted twins too but the west tower isn't that bad. But yeah twin towers that beautiful blue color would be just excellent.

Fedex kinkos is an american store and isn't in australia or new zealand, but fedex does deliver mail to some of australia. australiá and new zealand's equivalent is officeworks.

Hey does anyone know where or how I can get a cloud pattern for a paper building?

google lol

yeah but what do I type in once I get to google?

cloud

yeah but what do I type in once I get to google?

your google-fu not strong young grasshopper

Wow that is like your catch phrase ^^

and that's funny your signature is about that hoax!

all you have to do is google cloud reflection on images

On a totally different subject, why has it been so quiet on the forum lately?
Or is it just me............?

i think it seems quiet because there hasn't been many models posted lately

Here are some pics of my buildings:

Thanks for the comments guys!

^^Yeah it did but just had some problems with sticking it all together. But its still a great model!:):):)

Well if you can point some of the problems maybe I can fix them..Im a perfectionist :lol:

JKA, I'm totally impressed. Not only do you have more models than me they're more precise as well! Great job man!

Also I'd like a bigger version of Jin Mao's instructions if you don't mind :D

Nice!!

One question JKA, how to you make your models so clean and without wrinkles???

Cardstock.

Cardstock.
Ohhhhhh!!! I'm gonna buy cardstock then.

Um. I just use normal paper and glue

Um. I just use normal paper and glue
Man your models are soooooo awesome!!! The cleanest models ive seen!!!

For STR's models, I used cardstock. They turned out amazing.

For STR's models, I used cardstock. They turned out amazing.
The tallest paper models such as the Illinois Mile High, Al Burj, Nakheel Tower, and the Burj Khalifa i would use cardstock as well.

The tallest paper models such as the Illinois Mile High, Al Burj, Nakheel Tower, and the Burj Khalifa i would use cardstock as well.

Do not use cardstock on those models or any models with small parts or circular parts. I learned that the hard way by trying to make Fernsehturm with cardstock.

Do not use cardstock on those models or any models with small parts or circular parts. I learned that the hard way by trying to make Fernsehturm with cardstock.
for example, if you do the bottom half of the burj khalifa with cardstock and do the top half(antenna) with paper, then it should work fine. Btw thanks for the tip!!! ;)

No problem. Here's another: if you have to cut something out of a piece, and you don't have a cutting knife, fold the piece in half and cut it out. Learned that in 3rd grade in art class

No problem. Here's another: if you have to cut something out of a piece, and you don't have a cutting knife, fold the piece in half and cut it out. Learned that in 3rd grade in art class
I know that trick also. Thanks again though. Btw i don't like doing that with paper models cause when the model its done, you can see a fold where its not supposed to be. What i do is make a hole in the piece that its going to be cut out, and start cutting around that piece from that hole.

P.S. go to my thread to see all the materials i use. (i don't want to post pics here, cause that's spam.)

Oye no hay de barcelona todavia pero si hay de Espana y otros paises. Pero si quieres yo puedo hacer de Barcelona. A que escala, porque la malloria hace 1:1700.

If you go to elicid 1911 paper model thread, then you will find Torre Mapfre and Hotel Arts in Barcelona. Also, in Carlos' paper model thread, there is Torre de Cristal from Madrid.

And this is the spanish translation from google translate:Si usted va a elicid 1911 hilo modelo en papel, a continuación, usted encontrará Torre Mapfre y el Hotel Arts de Barcelona. Además, en hilos de Carlos papel modelo, no es la Torre de Cristal de Madrid.:lol::lol:
Bienvenido a los foros!

Haha nice spanish dude! ^^^^ I didn't use google translator cause i already know spanish. I'm mexican and he's spanish. Btw the word "hilos" means "string" Thread is translated another way in spanish, like its another meaning, you know yarn thread or like that.

^^Yep ill do that

I wanna update my thread more often cos of the very positive feedback.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!:lol:
Anyway, i thought about what ausie said on making a "skyline" so if there are any requests for any particular cities or models made by certain modelers, then ill take some photos with my super cool Nikkon camera!!lol

Thnx to S144 for the great model! Note: To people who are building this model, i suggest you use two pieces of paper for the top fins to make it less wobly cos when i did it it was a bit hard to make it perfect, but still a GREAT model!!
More photos of my city are on the way but i gotta first finish some new models to make it more interesting. Also I'm gonna post some photos of the "Ausie Skyline" (models built by ausie) so watch this space!:lol::lol:

P.S. For Pentominium Tower only about 25% goes to me.

This is my first model ever which i have made and it is called Tour Generali. It is still in preparation but construction is going to start soon in La Defense, Paris.

Anyway, most of the construction part was done by me but the rest was done by Skyscrapers144, so a big part of this was done by him!!!!!Thank You!!!:lol:
I will post some photos of it later and i will fix the broken links (im still a novice on photobucket:lol::lol:) but here it is:

Outstanding work
your skyline is so clean and sharp

Very nice!

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! But its missing something........my models. Could you make some of mine?

Very very nice JKA. Thanks for making my models and our Tour Generali!!!!!!!! Btw how do you make them so clean and sharp? What's your lil secret???

^^
I just have skill.:lol::lol:Just Kidding
I guess you just gotta be patient and make sure you fold everything perfectly. And to do that, you gotta scar all of the tabs and other fold lines with something relatively sharp.
I use a compass like this:
http://www.schoolkits.com.au/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/ZMICMM325_2-2.jpg
And always when you start gluing all the pieces, start from the top then youll have a pretty good looking model.:lol:
Thats my secret!:lol:

Oh alright! If you need help with any building let me know. ;) And sure we'll let you know if we need your help. Even is its just to test it, since you are a really good tester.

Yep, thanks!

Yeah maybe you can test it since you are an excellent tester :)

Heres a quick update on my buildings:
Right now im working on The London Shard and the SHanghai IFC and hopefully finish that in a week and the shard is still being tested. You can see two shards on the left, one is abit more smaller than the other but idk which one to continue with.lol
Any thoughts?

Very very nice pics! Btw i agree with Lions.

JKA, could you make my Wainwright Building?

Hey JKA! Nice building collection! I have around 140 buildings or so.

I have around 330

You said 340. How many does WiG have?

I have 330-340, somewhere in that range. He has 309, in his collection.

i have more than you suck ittttt hhahahaha i have my collection reaching 375 or so

Oh, thats it. ITS ON!!!!!!!!!

lol

Hey, ive officially started actually making diagrams for buildings so here is what ive got coming up:
Shanghai IFC(south Tower for now)
http://www.skyscrapers.cn/images/asia/cn/sh/sh_ifc_02.jpg
Connaught Tower, Hamilton, Canada
http://www.raisethehammer.org/static/images/connaught_tower_rendering.jpg
Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, Tokyo, Japan
http://archrecord.construction.com/projects/bts/archives/hotels/07_MitsuiTower/images/thumb.jpg
300 North LaSalle, Chicago
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4137823023_a4c2913694.jpg
and some others...lol

Also, could someone tell me what the connaught tower cladding looks similar to, cos I cant figure out what colours I use.lol

well first of all awesome
secondly looks like it has the color of the shard but no one has made it yet
but if you mean like a color of a building that is already made then maybe the color of the 1wtc. the second to last one he made

Awesome!!!!

Here it is, my first model completely made by me!!!!!!

I was considering making this a xmas present to everyone, but decided not to since everyone else is being all secretive about their models so there has been a slight drought of models:lol:

This building was proposed by the Canadian Real Estate developer Harry Stinson in the city of Hamilton, ON, Canada (not Hamilton, NZ :lol:)
Unfortunately it was never built and ther were very few renders, so the model doesnt look exactly the same. Instead, the developer decide to make the Saphire Tower in Toronto...:ohno:
So here it is with pictures:

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8213/connaughttowercomplete.pngI hope you guys all enjoy it, ill have another christmas present later, but thats a suprise.:lol:

After that, i most prob wont have any more models untill i come back from my holiday(around 23 January). From then on I have a lot of models that I want to do but they are mostly in the -300m category. If anyone has any requests then ill add them to the list but NO BUILDINGS WITH CURVES!!!:lol:

I am still a novice so yeah... I cant do complex buildings like Lions, SS144, Choco, Tim and co:lol:

Constructive Feedback on how to improve will be appreciated!lol
Thnx

very nice:) whos co???

Thats really awesome!!!!!!!!

Wow! Nice job JKA! Go the Kiwi's haha.
It's a nice building, a shame it wasn't built, they should build it in NZ's Hamilton lol.

damn dude this is amazing
for your first model it came out extremely good. it took me time for me to get better but you came out with a big bang.
awesome job dude. :)

just one tiny thing. when you save a file try saving it as a png. that way it keeps all of its details and everything else. :)

very nice:) whos co???

Everyone, like you, ssl and... and really cant remember everyones names.sorry!

Thanks to everyone else! @Lions, thnx for the tip!
Ill try to make a diagram of the other buildings im doing now so stay tuned!lol

Hey JKA, what do you think of my Tour Verre:
http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx268/skyscraperlover9595/93156a7e.jpg

i look forward to seeing those diagrams :)

damn dude that is one bad a** building

Congratulations for your first 100% made model, JKA! You should make a paper models topic. (I know that, here I call it "thread", but on AIM Forums, I call it "topic". I want to call this "topic" and no longer "thread".)

wow. congrats dude. um just one thing, like lions said keep it as a .png file so the quality is kept and it doesn't blur. it may have beenw hen u uploaded it so just make sure you have it as a .png file :) otherwise great work.

Nice clean textures. I would love to see how Shanghai IFC would turn out. Great job mate.

Hey, @ssl, OMG I cant wait till that model comes out!lol
Thanks choco, ausie and mutix.
Ive changed the model from the photobucket one to imageshack so hopefully it is better and it is in png.

And here is the diagram for Torre Diagonal 00 in Barcelona.
Obviously it is still in the works.lol
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/472/torrediagonal00diagram.png

thats much better and the reason i use imageshack:)
wow thats very impressive JKA your becoming a very good modeler:)

Yeah, now the model before is more clean. :) That is why I use Imageshack.

jka you are not a good modeler. you are a pro. :)
i like the cladding :)

He's not a pro! HE'S AN EXPERT!!

originally posted by JKA http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8213/connaughttowercomplete.png

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!

Here is my present to you all it is 300 North La Salle.
I wanted to do a more christmasy one but didnt have time so here it is:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9124/300northlasallefinal.png

When I went to Chicago, it was one of the first buildings that made me intersted in skyscrapers. Seeing it from the river is great if any of you have the chance. It may be boxy but the sleek and silver facade makes up for ti.lol

Anyway, ill load up pictures later and idk whether all you guys are on the 25th but once again Merry Christmas!

I look forward to it^^

Your back yay hope you enjoyed your vacation and yes like everyone else i am excited to see what is coming soon :happy:

^^(everyone)-Im glad everyone is excited.lol

Today, I have finished the HSBC Building in Auckland. It is definitely a smaller building than the others I have made, but expect more of these ones as Im thinking of doing an Auckland Project.

I havnt made it myself yet but I will put up photos asap.

Next up is either Vero, Deloitte or something from lower manhattan cos AKL buildings are really boring or anything that Ive said I would do in previous pages.

Hope you enjoy!
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4282/hsbcaklfinal.png

Love it!

Hey! small is good. It helps us not have only supertall skylines in our paper citys

Here is the Governor Phillip Tower from Sydney, Australia. I decided to do one from across the ditch cos after finishing Lions' Deutsch Bank, I thought I need to finish what i call the 'big 5'.lol.

This is because as you can see on the pic below there are 5 bldgs lined up including:

Governor Phillip Tower-Complete
Aurora Plaza-Proposed
Chifley Tower-Proposed
D Bank-Complete
MLC Centre-Complete but needs remodel

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1267/1369452958_b256512ba8.jpg

so im going to do both Sydney and Auckland, alternating between each.
Anyway, I hope you guys like it(and make it.lol) cos I thought this is slightly more well known than the HSBC in AKL.

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/4594/govenorphilliptowercomp.png

Also, if anyone would like to fix any problems go for it cos I havnt mazde it myself yet.

Also, you may want these two photos of the bottom to help you figure it out:

I get it better after looking at it, but what are the square things at the top right corner?

Hey, Thanks everyone and Im glad you like it!lol
Also, thnx to space for explaining how to do the crown, it is very hard to get it perfect.
So, here are some pics of the almost complete building(ive been too lazy to finish it, but I will sometime.lol)

http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b436/JKA_Skyscrapers/DSC_1296.jpg

PS. I would like to know what building people want me to do next, cos Ive been making the ones that I want but nothing else.
Obviously, I cant do the same difficult models as Lions, choco, tim, shiron(did I get your name right?), space and ss144, but I dont mind a challenge.
So if you have any intersting requests ill look into them.
Thnx

This came out looking amazing :D

sorry i never got to compliment it looks amazing jka lol thanks for making it now i dont have too:P
and yes you did get it right:D

great photos. i would like to see the ryugyong hotel built, but id whether it is too hard. the request really goes out to anyone. its a nice building with its cladding.

^^
hahaha! Thnx guys, R hotel is great but im not the biggest fan of NK(Im jap) but if its [[[e[asy [[ill see

lol^^ look at spaces post:P

How about you try to finish your version of the shanghai international financial center :)

@JKA, lol. maybe its best for you to not do it then :P maybe you could do something japanese then :P

@Lions-I really whish I could but after all the cladding I kinda ot sick of it.so...maybe in another few months...soz

@Space-Unfortunatley there are very few buildings that are jap that are on google sketch, i really wanted to do the new Abenobashi Terminal tower(300m) but it isnt up.lol

lol to the reply to lions:lol:
you could try the thread for the building but i dont think theres that many renders the building hasnt even got a floor done above ground level

^^ thats a shame that there isn't many in sketch. maybe you can work on more of your big five from sydney in the mean time?

^^
True....
Thnx anyway, Ill find one, dont worrylol

Ps, Aurora looks really hard, have you ever tried making it?

I have had that experience where i want to make a model but it is unavalible on google sketch lol

maybe you can look into torre reforma in mexico city i do beleive a model of it is avalible on google sketch :)

oh i most have said the wrong one lol i meant the two towers that have an octigon shape on top and square at the bottom never mind lol befire i confuse someone lol

lol so have you gotten a chance to look at the r hotel cause i kinda want to make it now:crazy:

^^
yeah I have and there are a few models on sketch up. You should try it!

And ill look into torre reforma

The r hotel? Where is that one at
