That's some amazing work, it that what the tips look like or are they more hemispherical? I'm guessing they're too small to see from the ground, but I'm curious.

I can't disclose any information related to the prints. But hey, the PA (being a government agency) has the commitment to inform people about the projects that are being under their authority. Their website is rich of information, though you need to know how to dig. I'll give you the easy path for them: go here if you want to read the pdfs of Board Meetings, here for Freedom of Information Requests (alot of them are related to the previous WTC site), here for the Minutes archive, and here for all the direct contracts made by the PA (not including subcontracts).

And yes, the tip of each rafter has an oval shape finish, it is the meeting point of the two rounded sides.

I think I'm picking up what you're putting down.

I used various unmentioned sources for my World Trade Center North Tower models. I might look into modeling the roof of the underground hall if you don't get to that yourself. I'm looking forward for updates on the physical model and also how the flying ribs attach to the existing structure. Maybe you could make a sketch.
is it something like:

BStyles at Wired New York
I might make a better 3WTC model if I can find more sources without setting off alarms.

Sorry for late post, been quite bussy. As I previously posted on the Hub thread, every wing consists of three major components, where each component is divided again by sections. For example, the portals are sectioned in three: subportal, lower and upper portal sections. The arch section comes complete and the rafters are divided according to the length (some of them are so short that there's no need to splice them)

I'm wondering, which material do you use for the wings in the model. And are you going to make them all with hand or are you able to use a shaper that makes it via computer drawings?

Otie · November 25th, 2012, 08:24 AM

After several examinations and reviewing the real life dimensions, I'll go for the 1mm cardboard. I will print the overall dimensions of each wing and then use the papers as a reference when I cut them manually.

micehr · November 25th, 2012, 04:48 PM

Wow, i give you already a lot of respect for this work, I don't think, I would have the patience to make each wing by my self. But I guess you are so dedicated to this project like I am with the Robie House. So it's kind of a motivation to make it as clean and perfect as possible.

Otie · November 26th, 2012, 04:38 AM

^There's a total of 114 ribs to cut, the 3D model is complete, so I'm just waiting to have the time and repair my printer to continue with the scale model.

I'm waiting for more updates on your FLW house, keep 'em coming!

Did somebody say The Robie House?

The fun starts at 1:05:

Oh yes. That's a nice one. I know this Lego Model and I really like it, that Lego startet to have an architecture line, but here in Germany it's f***ing expensive.

Otie · January 5th, 2013, 07:51 AM

Printer back, ribs on their way!

Skyscrapers144 · January 5th, 2013, 04:27 PM

AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Jongeheer · January 6th, 2013, 08:16 PM

Haha indeed!

CNTower246810 · January 19th, 2013, 09:59 PM

I am very glad to hear that your printer is fixed! I still can't wait for you to install the flying ribs on this masterpiece!

Do you have any idea of where you are going to put it when it's done?

Otie · January 21st, 2013, 05:00 AM

My friend hasn't given me the damn camera, first pieces were installed a long time ago on the east section, they look quite nice.

Model will be placed at my desktop

CNTower246810 · February 3rd, 2013, 05:33 AM

Haha.

I want to see it so bad! The suspense is killing me!

You must have one huge desk cause the pictures of the model make it look huge!

3dstructures-heerlen · March 22nd, 2013, 11:13 PM

Show us some pictures man! If the machine fails handcut the ribs! you be fine!
