Both are looking amazing thus far!

"Detailed" rock!

Skyscraperlover that looks really good! I see you cheated with the roof of the garden though just kidding, those little tabs to hold the ring at the top up were infuriating to cut out haha. I actually cheated making the garden, its supposed to have 48 towers holding up that ring, if you count on my model though it only has 40. And I'll tell you, trying to glue all 40 of those little tabs to the ring was almost as troublesome as trying to cut them out! Looks excellent though!

Detailed does rock! All of those little subtle details that you put on your models that some might not notice at first glance makes the buildings you've created that much more special! In a way, the details create authentication too! Most modelers will create as basic a roof as they can, I'm guilty of this, though its not a crime. Russian Sam, you add so much detail to the roofs! AC units, stairwell exits, ramps leading into parking garages... absolutely amazing!

[Russian Sam]

Oh, If I do model on a larger scale, they would be more detailed than it is now, believe me. For example, I would add to the old buildings the fire stairs and lights with wires in the streets! EME (Excuse My English)

[skyscraperlover9595]

Thanks! Took me two hours.

[Hanzie]

That would be absolutely amazing! You ought to do that with your favorite building ever, just completely detail every aspect of it, it would be phenominal! As for your english, you are very very well spoken sir! Your English is as good as anyone else on here, thats impressive! I find learning a foreign language to my own extremely difficult. I took Italian for 3 years of high school and I only remember a handful of words and a couple phrases.

Skyscraperlover, that's awesome for only two hours! Ill tell you the single hardest part of designing the garden was the kind of archway over the connecting bridge that part of the garden structure itself, and the arranging of the cable lines on the roof. For some reason those were just the trouble pieces. I think I put around 30 hours of designing into it.

[skyscraperlover9595]

Wow! So what is your next model?

[Hanzie]

I've been building Custom House Tower in Boston. Right now it actually looks really good, I'm trying to add as much detail to the tower as I can since its a smaller building apposed to what I've done in the past. Ive done some really cool effects with the windows and light. I also just converted it to a night time version too, both of which will be included in the final product, just like Hancock was with the plain and clouds. I also just realized yesterday before work that I spelled Hancock on the model with 2 k's hahaha, thats one of my finer moments trying to speak my own language hahaha

[skyscraperlover9595]

Yay! I love Boston!

[quanghuynhchung]

I'm quite proud of this one, It is kind of hard to see in the printed version, but there is so much detail in this model, well both haha. I've only built the day one but it looks amazing!

Remember when building it, the part with the stairs, which is barely visible faces the plaza. Cheers!

[ausie]

great work dude. i like the night version that came with it. it is very good. not to be annoying or anything but what do you plan next. i am now planning a night city so i'll include it as well.

[Skyscrapers144]

Excuse my english

[lions_215]

Amazing work i really like the detail u put into it

[Hanzie]

Thank you Ausie! I still plan to do a night version of John Hancock Tower, maybe the others too. However, my next project which is already underway is the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston, its the big H hahaha. Thank you Skyscrapers144! I shall post it in the Night thread for you. Thank you skyscraperlover9595! This is the building that seems to dominate the large historical section of Boston, I think that since this one turned out so well for a smaller more intricate one, I will be doing Philly City Hall in the near future! Thank you Russian Sam! That's an awesome rap! And talking to you about all the detail just made me think even harder about what I could do to detail this building even more! And, Thank you Lions_215! I'm really happy with the detail in it too! I love how small it is on the skyline, like it doesn't really impact my city a whole lot, but its like extra detail in the city, it adds even more variety. That's one of the things I really enjoy about early skyscrapers. They just have so much extra flair, so many intricacies.

[Hanzie]

Federal Reserve Bank is well underway! I currently have almost completed versions of both day and night for the main tower. I have a feeling the low rise at the base will be the more challenging aspect of this tower. I like doing the night versions a lot actually, and its very easy. I'm also thinking about potentially including historical landmarks, maybe like one with every Boston skyscraper I do. They'd just be like a bonus building kind of like how Puzz 3-d included the smaller landmark with their skyscrapers like the ESB with the Met Life tower, Chrystler with the Radiator building, I wish they still made those, I miss them a lot! I think I have damn near every one of those except for Taipei 101. I'm going to keep which ones I'm doing under wraps though, its all going to be pretty tiny stuff, but I have said in the past I wanted to do more low rise. All of these will be from Boston too.
