Philly is pretty much my home city (and I haven't done any Philly yet, but I plan to), Boston is like home away from home though, most of my living non immediate family lives there, so I felt I need to show a little B-town love. I'm thinking about doing night versions of everything I've done too. I might actually start by doing a night time Johnny Hancock along with the other 2 versions. I've had several ideas lately actually. One being that I'd like to do the Westin hotel LA... I would make the form of it, and do some cladding on it, but then for the shiny part, wrap it in aluminum foil, maybe draw on some mullions and floors with a black sharpie see how it turns out. Or if one had the patience of time, and maybe a string of lights from the dollar store or something, actually make buildings where you'd cut out certain windows designated, have a inner structure colored the same as the cladding that fit fairly close, and put the lights imbedded into a piece of cardboard, you'd have a base with a hole in it, and the building could sit on top, you could make roads, avenues, and you could turn it on and off, Its insanely detailed and would take a lot of effort, but it would be cool!

Please post the Hancock Tower!

Hanzie · September 16th, 2010, 11:28 PM

I will, patience, I'm not finished it yet, Still have to finish the one with the clouds, add tabs, and make a base. Haven't started on the night one yet. I'm going to work on the Custom House Tower next. Depending on how the tower comes out, I'm thinking about doing Philly City Hall in the near future. I might do the Bell Atlantic Tower as requested, but if I do, that wont be for a few weeks, maybe months. That Boston list is whats coming first for now though.

I was actually just there. I got some great photo's of it!

ausie · September 16th, 2010, 11:31 PM

good luck, as for shiny paper why not photo paper? nightfly used it for his shiny buildings.

Hanzie · September 16th, 2010, 11:49 PM

Glossy paper would be a good thing to invest in! Thank you Ausie! I do but the photo paper, its matte though. I like it because the buildings take much nicer form with heavier stock. I think the next time I get out that way, I'll pick some up.

Skyscraperlover, what all did you get to go see on your trip while in Boston? I remember the first time I went there I was up in Boston for my great grandmothers funeral. She died a week before my 16th birthday and for my birthday, my family took me into the heart of the city to go exploring, and our first stop was JHT. We went in, and my uncle had told me there was an observation deck. So we get there and we find that they permanently closed it after 9/11, so we just walked around Little Italy and Quincy Market. It was cool, but I was always disappointed I never got to go to the top of JHT.

skyscraperlover9595 · September 17th, 2010, 12:13 AM

I saw The Hancock Tower, Prudential Tower, most of the financial part, Zakim Bridge, and the Uss Constitution

Hanzie · September 17th, 2010, 12:30 AM

Nice! That sounds like you had a good trip

Hanzie · September 17th, 2010, 02:09 AM

Alright, haven't started on a night version yet, but here's with clouds and without. These are actually modded from my original I just built a couple minutes ago, There was an issue with the low-rise portion, the base and the color. I had the mullions on my version as a darker blue, and when i printed it out, it still looked good but it was darker than I intended. So I fixed the low-rise, the base and the mullion color so it should come out without flaws and it'll be brighter. I think I'm going to hold on the night version now and just go straight into designing Custom House Tower.

Just a few shots of my models in my city. Btw, do any of you name your cities? I haven't yet found a name that I think suits it.

skyscraperlover9595 · September 17th, 2010, 02:29 AM

Very nice city! My city name is New Philadelphia

Hanzie · September 17th, 2010, 02:31 AM

Thank you Skyscrapers144, and yes Skyscraperlover, it is in 1/1700th just like all of them, except for my first one the Ramada Renaissance.

skyscraperlover9595 · September 17th, 2010, 02:37 AM

skyscraperlover9595 · September 17th, 2010, 04:37 AM

nice work dude but the file has been reduced somewhere along the line and the quality isn't quite as good. do you have the original copy without reducing it available? if so could we please have it

Russian Sam · September 17th, 2010, 08:52 AM

Your models looks so realistic, bravo Hanzie!

skyscraperlover9595 · September 17th, 2010, 05:36 PM

Here are the pictures just incase you can't see the links:

Hanzie · September 17th, 2010, 07:39 PM

Thank you so much Russian Sam! That means a lot to me to hear from you that my models are detailed! Your Oklahoma City is so detailed, it looks like the official city model that they would display in the Oklahoma state house! I can't wait to see Tulsa and Midland completed! Both are looking amazing thus far!
