I had to get the 100th post on my thread, sorry, lol. but yeah like Quartermile said, its not cheap, but it is so fun getting to build your own little city. I am so happy that I also get to make some paper models as well, it lets me make my little city bigger without spending so much. I am currently waiting on three items to some next week, so my little city is always getting bigger,although i am running out of space!

I am running out of space too, and the place that my city is at is the largest available space in the house! And I was talking to my dad yesterday about this delema, and unfortunately he said

you are gonna have to take them off the table soon anyway, I need that space

. So unfortunately it will be over

Great city kevmr25! What building is that in between the Frost Bank Tower and the Beijing National Aquatics Center?

Philly Bud · December 4th, 2009, 05:39 AM

This may sound silly ... but it makes me proud to see Philly's own One Liberty Place and Two Liberty Place and the Comcast Center in your collection ... right alongside the Eiffel Tower, the Burj Dubai and the Empire State Building!

By the way, the Bethlehem Steel Building in Bethlehem, PA is officially known as the Martin Tower. I understand there are plans to convert it into a condo.

Nice update, kevmr25...You've got some Dubai-speed skyline growth going on. Isn't IFT's ICC replica pretty awesome? I just got my own a couple of days ago. I wish the roof was more detailed, but the rest of it is just, wow!

kevmr25 · December 5th, 2009, 05:46 PM

I love everything that Infocustech makes! I can't wait to see the ICC in your skyline, I hope you update us with some pictures soon.

Might be best to box them up and keep them in your room in storage for now.

Alternatively, get some shelves up in your room and put them in a line on shelves. They'd be out of the way then?

i will definately figure something out, but i will have to drastically downsize my collection. we'll see, i might be able to talk him out of it actually

. the reason why he wants me to take them down is because he puts christmas stuff there, but he has a very small collection of little tree ornaments and stuff. essentially, it is small enough that if i clear off the shelf next to the table then it would be more than enough space for both him and i to be happy. i will also make my city more festive looking for the holidays, like setting up mini LEDs on my illinois and in the little river chanels. i will also put some sort of christmas tree in the middle of the place like a mini rockafeller tree in new york.

I'm hoping I'll get a new Kodak for Christmas... I'll create an update then, either way.

I know a lot of miniature building collectors display them individually on shelves and in bookcases, rather than clustering them in little skylines. Check out these photos from the Souvenir Building Collectors Society's 2009 convention: http://www.sbcollectors.org/la_pictures.htm

Crazy. I can't believe I missed it... It was right over in Pasadena, 50 miles from me, and I missed it.

WiGgLz01 · December 5th, 2009, 11:20 PM

wow great stuff there

!

so kevmr what is that building in front of the hearst tower? it looks like some sort of little plaza or something.

philadweller · December 8th, 2009, 02:46 AM

I collect these too. Here is my little skyline.
