Chicago Spire - The Search is On - Page 2

OMG, This is a really hard model to do!

ChicagoFreak96 · June 5th, 2009, 05:22 PM

I printed out the Chicago Spire last night and started to put it together but when I put it together, it didn't look like it was put together the right way. So, I was wondering if someone could post instructions to show how to build it and put it together.

I'm getting nervous about making this model now based on those comments!

I've been thinking about putting some basic instructions together for models, much like the canon website does where you have a set of assembly instructions as one file and the model parts as another file.

This one definitely needs some instructions by the looks of it.

But first, someone has to successfully build it so they can tell everyone else!

Good luck everyone!

Can't someone update this model to the real design as it is now?

I think I might have the diagram of it in word let me see. I don't have it on my internet account I think it's on my Mom's internet account but I'm not sure?

Dapperheid Tower · July 16th, 2009, 09:49 PM

Idk I think Ill try it now just to see how it works

Dapperheid Tower · July 16th, 2009, 10:09 PM

I gave up. Hopefully someone post a better version. This one dosent come out right at all.

piginapoke · July 17th, 2009, 07:25 PM

I just heard back from STR, it turns out the Chicago Spire model that we are having 'fun' with trying to assemble is not his, he was just hosting it on his website.

He can't recall who's model it is so it's probably OK to keep it on this thread.

It was only fair to check if it was OK to publish it, especially as we hadn't heard from STR for a while

ChicagoFreak96 · July 17th, 2009, 08:01 PM

Hey pinginapoke, Do you know if STR has the diagram for the Tuntex 85 Sky Tower? Oh and I had no idea the Chicago Spire wasn't his!

piginapoke · July 17th, 2009, 09:30 PM

i don't know about the tuntex, i didn't ask him about it. I like that tower and I spotted it on his website in a photo but it was a prototype as far as I know and i don't think it ever became a model that we could download.

I didn't know either that the chicago spire wasn't his until he told me.

ChicagoFreak96 · July 17th, 2009, 09:35 PM

How are you coming on the russia Tower piginapoke? Oh and also piginapoke, Are there any other STR models that you know of except for the ones on his website?

chicagofreak96, stop with the demanding on this thread. it is about the fordham/chicago spire. if you want the russia tower than go to a different thread.pignapoke is trying to figure out how to get the spire on her website so keep quiet

ChicagoFreak96 · September 17th, 2009, 12:18 AM

I was just asking how pinginapoke(HE) was coming along on his model of the russia tower! and pinginapoke is a he not a she!

Pianoscience · September 17th, 2009, 01:38 AM

That's what you say for everything, "just asking". It's like Peter and the Wolf, people will start not believing in you.

Commit this to memory ChicagoFreak, skyscaperlover told you to stop making demands in this thread. Your counterargument is A) unapologetically admitting you did what he accused you of, and B) attempting to demean or diminish his argument by noting his dissertation that Piginapoke is a female user, a reasonable mistake to make, as he is named Robin, and androgynous name, and has a female avatar. Your argument is invalid as usual...
