steveve's Toronto city model - Page 6

steveve · January 2nd, 2012, 04:20 PM

Kicking off 2012 with a fresh sheet of snow on the model.... no, it's actually just paper that i've glued some of the blocks to so they don't keep moving... looking back at it now, it probably wasn't the best colour choice of paper, but for now, it'll do.

Theatre Park (except for the park) is built, as well as a few more blocks in the entertainment district.
And yes, that IS a vitamin water cap where Roy Thompson will be... it's just there as a marker and will be there till a proper one is built... And NO, vitamin water isn't my sponsor!

I see you've cleared a spot for 100 Adelaide?

LOL! ya, i left the gap there because i knew something was bound to be built there... now all i need is an approval by the city (has it already been approved?), an official height/designm and i can build it,

steveve · February 8th, 2012, 12:16 AM

It's been a while since an update, but I've got more time now to continue building this thing, and hopefully get weekly updates done.

In this update, Studio Condos are built along with the entertainment district expanding, I think I am gonna leave a few blocks in the entertainment district empty due to the almost certain possibility of future development,
After this, I think I will move north along Yonge St.,

You should do Metro next Steve, it'd be nice to see Roy Thompson all covered in with the addition of Theatre Park there (which looks great!)

steveve · February 8th, 2012, 09:14 PM

ya, i planned on doing Metro Hall/Roy Thompson a long time ago but got lazy to do it

^, i'll try getting at least a bit of Metro Hall done soon, along with the Sony Centre/l tower, and move north along yonge while i'm at it

steveve · February 11th, 2012, 10:40 PM

Metro Hall north/south are built, along with some more buildings (including MuchMusic HQ) in the entertainment district, along with the expansion north along yonge street.

I have the block for L tower/Sony Centre built and ready to go, and the Eaton Centre will be a huge addition

Pantages tower will be built, also, I've left out a space for the Massey Tower proposal, still awaiting a design proposal and approval

Update February 11, 2012:

steveve · February 15th, 2012, 12:03 AM

Quite a few major additions, including l tower and the Eaton Centre
I'm quite pleased with how l tower turned out and how it looks, I didn't finish the podium details just because i got lazy at the end,
The Eaton Centre was annoying to build. just because it was so huge and you get lazy on detail.

Right now, i could technically build all the way up to Aura pretty fast, although I do want to finish old and new city hall... and most of Front Street south isn't finished yet

Anyway, i hope i can keep up the pace and expand this thing,

Looks good Steve! Can we get a shot with your hand for comparisons sake? Can seem to imagine how big this is!

it's actually not that big... the model up to Queen Street is 4 sheets of 8.5 x 11 (i believe that is correct) paper. i've got a comparison shot somewhere in my flickr that i will post

and lol... you can't buy it... i'm not done with it yet

GenericUser · February 16th, 2012, 01:00 AM

Very impressive. If you actually build all of the downtown core, you should consider making an offer to sell it to the city. I'm sure they'd pay good money to display it at city hall or at least pay you to make a different model with nicer materials?

steveve · February 24th, 2012, 04:41 PM

The model now ends at Gerard to the north... Aura's gonna be epic.

Updates have been slow (been pretty busy (ironically) during the march break), but i've been working on new city hall/nps. a few more touches and it should be complete.

I'm really thinking of doing INDX and 100 Adelaide, the problem is, i want to be sure that no height increases/decreases are on the way for these towers and/or design changes.

probably before that will come more of Bay Street to the north along with Yonge and Aura.

i think indx is pretty safe, but i feel that you should wait on 100 adelaide.

MattToronto · March 24th, 2012, 05:37 PM

You could always build them but not secure them. It'd be fun to have an evolution of the design for comparison.

congrats that's a nice work!
