Russian Sam's Dallas

Hello, friends!
Well, I continue to post my work and I am very glad to read your comments and I want to thank each of you for it. My previous models you can see by clicking the links in my signature below.
And I want to introduce my next two projects - Dallas and Shreveport.

Dallas, TX.

One of the largest city in USA and 3rd largest in Texas. It will be my biggest model, approximately 800x620 mm!, maybe more.
It will be a long-time work.


Istvan S. from Flickr.com

So, I think you will appreciate my choice, this is a map:


And this is a first models which I will build:
- Energy Plaza
- Thanksgiving Tower
- One Main Place
- Skye Bar
- Patriot Tower
- Bryan Tower
- Federal Building
- Earle Cabell Federal Building
- United Fidelity Building
- 211 North Ervay Street

Thank you!

This is great news! Dallas has many unique buildings, the Bank of America Plaza is going to be a bear. I think it would really add to your model to extend it just a few blocks to include the Hyatt Regency and it's Reunion Tower, which is a landmark of the city.

your models are so perfect. Do you use photographic paper on Bryan Tower?

Thank you friends.
I'm thinking about Hyatt and Reunion. Do not know to add or not them, because my model has square size, and if I will build these two buildings I need to build other almost empty blocks.
About Bryan Tower. Not, is not a photopaper - this is an usual paper covered by scotch-tape.

That's a clever idea putting tape onto the paper.
