Holy cow! Untitled2 looks EXACTLY like a building in downtown Quincy, IL!!! Well, it's three stories too tall but all the details are spot on! Wow. Gotta have that one.

And Untitled3 isn't too far off from the building I work in (our radio stations are on the ground floor).

Great job!

I will be making another misk building that will fit your description. Could you get me some pictures of the one near you, and the building where your radio station is?

If you can get me some real good reference photo's I would be more then happy to build the radio station you work at for the game. Then I can probably get it close to exact.

A new version of the NY Office Building 1, for this version I changed the textures and changed the size so it wouldn't be entirely the same as the first building, the first was more square, but this one would be more of a rectangle. The building can be placed as an entirely new building.

Also I have a 23 story office building coming as well, now that I have this building finished I can start on the other one.

I must say that this pack will be twice as big as the first was, and will come with more tower buildings.

If I make some buildings in sketchup, can I send them to you to fix up in 3DC and export?

Not likely, I'll be releasing the set tonight and then next I will be putting the later sets to the side for a while and going to learn how to build a diesel locomotive for the game.

I'm done with buildings for a while.

Here's the building where my employer is on the ground floor, though the postcard is from the 30s (I think) before the stations were here. This view shows the east wall with main entrance and the south wall, with another entrance.

Image

The large rectangular windows on the ground floor are all radio stations now.

This is the back side of the building (north wall with indent, and west wall), it's not a solid block. The first three floors are solid, then the wings as seen in this photo. They are also plain brick, unlike the east and south walls.

Image

Here is a site that has tons of pictures of Quincy, including the Lincoln-Douglas building and the Newcomb Hotel (which I mentioned looks EXACTLY like one of the buildings you did, except it's only five stories).

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=lincoln+douglas+apartments+quincy+il&view=detail&id=663917417AF083ED99934F32966AFE14BABE9121&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR&adlt=strict

You don't have to do anything with the L-D or Newcomb, I'll use yours the way you designed them. They'll work fine. You can't really see them all that well from the railroad anyway. *!greengrin!*
