Whooaaahhh...

kevmr25, Where did that Shanghai Tower come from?

kevmr25 · May 7th, 2009, 04:12 AM

I made it, check out my thread at http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=852214. If you can get your hands on some clay you should be able to make one like I did.

kevmr25 · May 7th, 2009, 05:06 AM

Hey, thats a great skyline! I see you have some small ships too

QuarterMileSidewalk · May 22nd, 2009, 07:16 AM

curious, kevmr25... What city is that you're using as the backdrop? Your collection keeps being more and more impressive!

QuarterMileSidewalk · May 22nd, 2009, 07:54 AM

Sorry for the double post... but here's a little update on my own Miniaturopolis:

(I bought InFocusTech's 2ifc, specially done in light blue, in the core, and the astronomers' monument from the front of the Griffith Observatory here in LA, there on the right. My little brother brought it home for me from a field trip. very cool.)

ausie · May 22nd, 2009, 08:26 AM

r these paper models? if they are could you post their picture individually not necessarally the modelz to build it wiv if you don't want to

piginapoke · May 22nd, 2009, 11:05 AM

I was also wondering what those ones were.

The left one looks a bit like canary wharf in London but isn't. What is that one?
The middle two look like Woolworth Building and Citigroup - am I right?
Is the right side one the John Hancock Center?

Also, is the 2 IFC a metal model or paper. It looks good

ausie · May 22nd, 2009, 02:11 PM

ok i have found out what two of them are and the 2ifc is metal from infocustech

kevmr25 · May 22nd, 2009, 04:01 PM

QuarterMileSidewalk, I love your skyline and Thanks for the update.

1. is a Canary Wharf model from mini scrapers.

3. is a building from Pennsylvania and I forgot where I found it , but it was somewhere in these forums, I will try to find it again or find the diagram for it on my computer.

4. This is a model I made my self with some crap glass from another model on this site and some filling from some old watch stand.

6. is a German skyscraper that i recently found thanks to piginapoke. I will try to find and post that one too.

The two IFC model is metal from infocustech, but I had to paint it myself.

kevmr25 · May 22nd, 2009, 04:31 PM

I posted the ones that I could find, hope you enjoy them like I did.

piginapoke · May 22nd, 2009, 05:27 PM

It's a credit to your building skills that I can't tell which are metal and which are paper models there! Well done, lovely city you have there!

The Canary Wharf model from my website in your photo doesn't look right. The extensions on each side of the main body of the skyscraper go a lot higher up the main body in my model on the website. It's almost like the pages with the extension have been scaled down in height on your model but not the width

I'll have to print it out again and see how the extensions pages relate to the main body page. What program did you print them out in and did you adjust the scale at all?

When i try to embed the photo of my model on this page, it ends up huge, so have a look on my website to see what it should look like.

Hey kevmr25, I noticed in a couple pictures in the posts above that you have a model of the Citicorp Center in NYC. I was wondering, where did you get that model? Was it free or did you have to pay for it?

kevmr25 · May 22nd, 2009, 07:03 PM

I used the one ausie posted in your thread about the Citi Corp Center, I just enlarged it. Thanks for visiting my thread and by the way my little city would look better with the smurfit-stone building

piginapoke · May 23rd, 2009, 11:27 AM

I think I've identified that Canary Wharf model in the photo with the extensions which are too low, it's from http://paperscraper.weebly.com/

I've got a more accurate version at http://miniskyscrapers.googlepages.c...aperdownloads2

ausie · May 23rd, 2009, 11:32 AM

thnx pigniapoke that looks exactly the same but i prefer your model of it

kevmr25 · May 23rd, 2009, 03:38 PM

Ok, thats the one, I knew it was either yours or that one. Thanks for finding it.
