um actually im not kidding, it was kind of easy. the only hard part was putting the spire on the top. other than that it was EASY

I saw yours on your thread but it looked deformed. By the looks of your models, do you use card-stock at all?

WiGgLz01 · September 22nd, 2009, 04:02 AM

Ok it was easy to do the easy way. But the real way I am guessing is hard. I too did the easy way.

Pianoscience, I assume the not bad for first try was directed at me. You have my appreciation for the recognition of my efforts. As for pompous mcbetterthan us, when your skyline is this big: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpo...46&postcount=2 in three and a half months of work, you can get back to me.

Oh also, use 120lb cardstock, and exacto knife, and three varieties of glues, varying depending on tab size, stress load, and angle.

Also, hold down a 20+ hr a week job, maintain a social life, and keep a girlfriend entertained all at the same time. Oh and design a few of your own from scratch.

And remember, the timeline for this is three and a half months...

The Dali Lama said it best "Pimpin' aint easy, yo."

Oh and to clarify, I'm just playin' I was being modest earlier; quite frankly I am fairly pleased with how well my spire came out, effort involved was average, though time consuming... Now I shall reap the karmic consequences of my bragging... oh well...

geesh guys, need to learn how to ignore idle negative comments. brings out the worst in people. just sayin...

as for your spire ATG, im no expert but i think it looks fine to me. i mean its definetly is not an easy model to do just from the looks of it.

Meh, PianoScience seems to be at his limit as far as request-spammers, brag-tards, and whiners are concerned. While I can safely assert that my tolerance levels are higher than his, I can't say I blame him for feeling as he does... There would appear to be a recent spike in infestation of such negative personality traits, as of late. We need a b& hammer...

My skyline was only about 60% like yours.

Skyscrapers144 · January 28th, 2010, 10:04 PM

Very nice job ohjingoh!!!!!!!! Many of us waited for his model and now thanks to you we have it!!!! Nice Job!!!!

WiGgLz01 · January 28th, 2010, 10:15 PM

ohjingoh didnt make it lol he had it in his hard drive

Skyscrapers144 · February 5th, 2010, 01:18 AM

Ohhhh! But still he had it for all of us even thought he didn't actually made it.

lestanac · February 5th, 2010, 05:37 PM

Hey, I really want to make this,but can someone, who exactly knows how to make it, show me with images of the model? Not the finished model, the parts, or like JW117 made the tuts for his models... thanks

The Terminator · February 10th, 2010, 02:58 PM

woah ATG, that's some nice work you got there.

I oversized it to 120% and I plan to add a conical structure at the top to make it seem like the new chicago spire (and without having the spire taking/cheating most of its height, lol)

Honestly this thing would be hard enough (I guess I'll get going on it tomorrow), I wouldn't imagine how hard the updated design of the chicago spire would be (if someone ever designed it, lol), as the new chicago spire has 6 "twists", whiile this version only has 4 IIRC. Anyhow, good luck to myself

There's even a video on the construction.

It's a shame this "snow queens' tower" won't be built
