Sure, I may be able to get some pictures with my cam. From where I am sitting right now it's out the newsroom door, down the hall, and out the back door. *!greengrin!*

Because at most times, to build a real good model a ton of reference photo's are needed. That way I get the exact number of windows as well and know what each side should look like once done. And also if you could get some close up, stable pictures of some of the windows and doors, as well as wall texture as well I can use that as the texture.

More progress on the building. It's really starting to look good and is actually quite good on poly level compared to the shape.

In total the building is just over 29 stories high. More like 34 if you count up to the tip of the roof. But in total the building has 29 floors.

Did some more work on the building. Added the windows on the roof cone. Really, there were no floors up there, those would have been used as skywindows to let in light.

So far this is the tallest building I've ever built for Railworks and will also be one of the tallest skyscrapers available for the game. At 29 stories high it might even block out the RW sun.

I am curious about the shadow it will cast.

The new building is now in the game and it looks awesome, so far it's the biggest building I've ever built for the game. 29 stories high with a 5 story roof cone on the top.

Compared to a Railworks F7 diesel train, the train looks like it's a N scale model.

Been doing some work on a new skyscraper for the new set.

I could estimate that this pack will have even more skyscrapers in it then the previous one.

It was a very difficult building to build, because of how advanced it is.

How about losing the spire on the gray one? It seems really out of proportion to the building, and there was only one big skyscraper in the 1930s that had that--and its in NYC.

Maybe a pyramidal top to that one, since you have a small spire on the brown skyscraper?

I guess I'll resize it, I might have made it a little bit big.

It's okay, though some might question if the architect had adequacy issues. :)

Or maybe you are planning to create animated airship for your 1930s route? That could be an airship mooring mast!

I plan to later build a airship, but I doubt it will be animated though.
