kevmr25, I think your unknown Pennsylvanian building (#3 in the photos) may be the old Bethlehem Steel HQ, in Bethlehem. InFocusTech has several versions of that one, too.

I'm back with new updates of my collection!

nice! how much is this whole thing worth? i went to a metal souvenier buildings website and they were like 100-200 bucks each!

quanghuynhchung · September 22nd, 2009, 12:06 AM

i know right! was wondering how much did u spend u $$$ on ur hobby??? lol

kevmr25 · September 22nd, 2009, 12:26 AM

somewhere around $2,500 dollars with more stuff on the way as we speak. I am waiting on the Burj Al Arab abd Bank of America Houston. As well my first replica from Boym, whihc will be the Burj Al Alam. I am alos waiting on several items to arrive from ebay. I love this hobby and by buying the souvenirs it allows me to add some things to my skyline that I can't find on paper modeling sites.

Your collection has expanded to a great number.

WiGgLz01 · September 22nd, 2009, 02:51 AM

Well it is an amazing skyline. You should consider trying to make paper models of them because you have them to look at any angle you want, and if they are in our scale, all of the demensions are given to you. I also saw what I thought was the columbia center. Is it? And you have a shanghai tower in paper. Oh and I wanted to point out that on the ICC, the top things are supposed to be folded in half. Just saying

ATG_Chi-Town_87 · September 22nd, 2009, 04:32 AM

That cost more than my last computer. Or over five years of birth control...

WiGgLz01 · September 29th, 2009, 03:55 AM

What if it breaks during shipping? And it's pretty pricy.

Yes it is the Bethlehem Steel Building, Pig in a Poke has a link to it
in his Models Thread, I designed it but I lost the account it was posted in,
Glad to see somone tried to build it. Its the tallest building in my home town
and it looks really small next to STR's Hancock Center, I built it to get a feel
for the size & scale of the Super Talls STR & Rei posted.

That Metal 1 Liberty Place is Really Awesome, it looks like blue glass,
I wish I could afford one, I'm jelious!
