Do it

Twitter just added a feature for uploading pictures directly to your twitter feed without having to rely on 3rd party uploaders.

I know that many people would be interested in the blog and that you have a really interesting future ahead.

Cheers, m

Not sure how interesting it would be though

either way, there won't be any updates for a few days, in ny,

Just think about it

Cheers, m

steveve · August 17th, 2011, 03:15 AM

I'll definitely keep it in mind

Scotia Plaza's podium is just about done, I'll post photos hopefully by tomorrow, and tomorrow, i plan to have Scotia Plaza completed, (which will have a huge impact on the model), then i can move on to the other monster (skinny monster) which is Trump,

steveve · August 18th, 2011, 12:40 AM

Update from today, Scotia Plaza was much harder/more time consuming than anticipated, only half of it is complete, and it is by no means done,

So yeah, this looks like garbage now, not to mention, my camera is out of focus!... it'll look better by tomorrow,

Once i'm done building this, everything else will seem a LOT easier!

*and yes, i did have to cheat on one or two of those vertical setbacks (for those of you who count! hehe), it would have been too tough otherwise,

Do you ever accept commissions to create models to sell as ornaments? If so, what are your rates?

Innsertnamehere · August 18th, 2011, 06:18 AM

OMG.. Can't wait to see it with the rest of the model!

lol.... not sure what you mean by that....

Update August 18, 2011:

Scotia Plaza is complete (it's not perfect, and has imperfections,... it was by far the most frustrating to build, as the small setbacks make the cardboard brittle, so this had to be put together piece by piece),

And... the hole for Trump Tower:

Now, i just have to find research some info for all the setback heights at Trump...

maybe he's referring to Christmas ornaments? Back-to-school shopping has already started which means Christmas shopping comes next.

Great models Steveve, keep up the good work. You remind me of a younger me when I first signed up for this site with your enthusiasm for skyscrapers. Although, I never quite had this talent of yours..

lol! depressing indeed.... back to school, the days are getting shorter/darker, summers over,

but ya know, this summer was too hot, a bit of lukewarm temperature wouldn't be so bad

Excellent work Steveve! Have you thought about what career path your going to take? I think you would make an excellent architect or urban designer, keep up the good work mate!

ty!... i've got no idea what i want to do.... but architecture/urban stuff is a possibility

Trump TO:
Okay, here's what i've got as of around 2:30pm today.... It is nowhere near complete, details will still be added and what not, i might even get it finished today,

I've took photos along the way, and i'll post all of those when building is complete, so you can see step-by-step what happened,

steveve · August 20th, 2011, 01:08 AM

Okay... so here it is... Trump Tower,
I'm pretty satisfied for the results, even though i know it's far from perfect... this one involved probably the most patience out of all the models that i've built,

Amazing! all I have to say.

steveve · August 22nd, 2011, 04:46 PM

thanks,

^.... Richmond-Adelaide 1 was built yesterday as well as some other smaller buildings on that block... Today I'll finish up Oxford Tower, and some fillers,

steveve · August 22nd, 2011, 08:38 PM

Update August 22, 2011:

Oxford Tower/Richmond Adelaide 1 are complete.... I'll hold off on building the Richmond Adelaide III complex thing, because the proposal is in early stages:
Yes... this thing:

Anyway, the plan is to build a bit of the cloud gardens block, then proceed to building the Hilton block,

MattToronto · August 23rd, 2011, 04:59 AM

Oh come ooooon! Do the Phase 3!

lol!... I'm gonna wait it out, at least a little bit... The design could always change, and i'm not the biggest fan of its dimensions (it should be taller, less fat).... If it does go ahead, I'll wait till some more renders are released
