Indeed, T1000 - decided to take it full solid scale, otherwise it would have been already done and dusted

Stay tuned for future updates

Inauguration shall take place within just 4 to 6 months from now ( i hope ) depending on additional painting, hinge attaching, illumination etc. activities ...

 

[BellaGracia27]

Sorry for having a "virtual only" update, but now having reached almost 4.5 meters in height it got impossible to assemble without a scaffold ....

Still it gives a nice impression on how tall it would be compared to a normal adult, once ready.

Hope to get it puzzled together come the weekend and post a "real" pic/update .

Just 800 cans to go for Khalifa, WTC at about 1700 with 7000+ left. Red and green parts visualizing current construction status.

Njoy :cheers::cheers::cheers:

 

[BellaGracia27]

Promised is promised :

Here the actual "live" version of Khalifa - current height at 4.27 meters ( or exactly 14 feet ).

The one on the left side is what i have managed to stack to each other - the right side is a Photoshoped Version and how it would have looked like, shall i have managed to put them all togehter, which is currently simply not possible.. Still it gives a nice impression on current construction status

3481 cans done, only 790 to go ....

And here from another angle ...

Cheers :banana::banana::cheers::cheers::cheers:

 

[T1000]

This is going to be truly massive

 

[BellaGracia27]

And a short one on the WTC progress - day and night version

1728 out of 8973 cans or 19.25 % done. In only just 4 months :banana:

If i was to assemble them into a single "tower", it would alerady get to 2.18 meters Way to go though

Cheers:cheers::cheers:

 

[T1000]

That's a loooot of drinking

 

[BellaGracia27]

A promise is a promise:

Can Khalifa at 4.95 meters ( 16.25 feet ) and 3700+ cans.

WTC North Tower at 1.85 meters ( 6 feet ) and South Tower starting to rise, too.

The "Google Earth View" Update :cheers::cheers:

And here a short video footage showing the Khalifa free standing

N-joy and cheers :banana::banana::cheers::cheers:

BellaGracia27, its that you in the picture?

 

[Zaz965]

are these cans empty or full? :grass:

 

[BellaGracia27]

@KNR - nope. This is my compadre, who i am building this insane stuff with ( if you are asking because of height comparison/estimate - he is about 175 cm or 5.7 feet

@ Zaz965 - they are empty. If they were full it would have had already over 1100 kg of weight, whereas it now weights around about 40kg i'd suggest

And an additional image from another angle - it looks even taller Cheers

 

[T1000]

That's quite high and there's so much more to go :nuts: This is going to look massive when it's done and painted :banana:

 

[BellaGracia27]

Indeed, T1000. Both WTC will be almost exactly as high as The Burj is now - just a bit higher than 5 meter ( North Tower will get 1.4 Meter additional antenna ). The Burj is at 86 % completion as far as can count is concerned, but in terms of height it is yet to get to 50 %, so yes - when all of them are done & dusted & painted i do hope i will have really something unique to show to the world )

Cheers

 

[T1000]

You sure will have something quite unique

 

[BellaGracia27]

A fellow forum member wanted to know how high approximately Khalifa and WTC would be once finished, now that there is a real person standing there as a reference point - so here we go

Finished by Rostislav Halachev, auf Flickr

:cheers::cheers::cheers:

 

[BellaGracia27]

And a final Update before The Burj gets completed ( Thanks Photoshop ):

Can Khalifa at 6.11 meters ( just a bit higher than 20 feet ) and 3967 out of 4289 cans.

Completion 93.31 % volume, 59 % height.

WTC North Tower at 2.68 meters ( 8'8 feet ) - 2304 out of 4473 cans.

Would have loved to have had at least one of the Twins finished on 9.11, but i will surely have it in 2019 and with a bit more luck even both.. We shall see.

Next Update - Khalifa finished and standing at 10.36 meters w/o Photoshop....

 

[BellaGracia27]

Just a nice pic that a fellow neighbour made while i was climbing toward the Top

Stay tuned - 280 more cans and it will be finished...

 

[BellaGracia27]

All 4289 cans already assembled. Now it is up to the varnisher :banana::banana: Stay tuned :cheers::cheers:

 

[BellaGracia27]

Actually it was Willis Tower next in the pipeline, but since it would consume 6000+ cans and take at least 2 years to build i am considering putting it "on hold" for the time being and build this one instead ( it looks sooooooooooo slender next to the last update of Can-Khalifa and its 5 meters):

Would consume around about 1500 cans, again 1:80 scale and just short of 4 meter ( 3.84 meter to be precise ). Looks pretty congenial as a render - we shall see how it looks once build. Cheers, folks :cheers::cheers::cheers:

So what do you think, guys - Willis or Cayan ?

 

[T1000]

Go big

 

[bbm16]

Go for it man

They look Awesome
