I've tried. Strictly, it's not the skyscraper but a lighthouse. But i have plans to expand my small city and build a preety cluster.

Here you can see the lighthouse. Dope game.

i happen to be an avid minecraft fan... this game is largely the reason i don't 3d model anymore. i have built a massive art deco skyscraper up to the top of the map before (15 floors), which unfortunately, the file got corrupted and just recently completed a horrible sears tower model, which is 11 floors; 1 floor for every 10 floors in the real thing.

pic of the sears tower model;

not that bad either btw, do you use the free version or the beta one?

[Innsertnamehere]

beta. its 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better.

i know. but you must pay for it :p

i would buy it, but i think i would also 'waste' even more time then i don't want to give up my SKP works

[Innsertnamehere]

well this isn't exactly a skyscraper, but its a modern house and a suspension bridge!

all pics by me, and the stuff was made by me too.

[MattTheTubaGuy]

Wow that house is pretty impressive.

Here is a couple of buildings I have built in the last couple of days.

and here is a model of the Hotel Grand Chancellor, the "leaning tower of Christchurch"


By mattbennett at 2011-06-04

I have made these on the NZNetwork, a minecraft server for Kiwis, so if you are from NZ, then come have a look.

[Dubai Skyscraper]

ooh really good work, i especially love the hotel tower but it must take ages to mine for the materials and to build these monsters

[MattTheTubaGuy]

on NZNetwork, I don't need to mine materials. There is "The Warehouse" where you can get materials (it is literally the giant red thing!), so I don't need to worry about materials. in the last couple of days, I probably went through more than 100 stacks of smooth stone! (1 stack = 64 cubes)

Heh nice work everyone. Minecraft is brilliant.

You can spawn materials/items by typing "/give [username] [item#] [quantity]". You need to an OP in the server though.

Here is a full list of data values:

I hate earthquakes!!

[Dubai Skyscraper]

[earthbuilder]

I was meaning the two towers are at the same scale, which is about 1/4. 1WTC has a little bit cut off the top, but I don't think that matters too much.

[Dubai Skyscraper]

oh yes, sorry! i thought you mean they are to scale to the people

good job anyways, i wish i could do that
