Ya, your next step is to create the central block of parliment with the libary. Then, all of them including the supreme court! Great job it looks awsome!!!

Really, really nice work, looks just like the real thing. My only quibble would be that the intricate carvings around the doorways are missing, but thats such a minor detail, overall, it looks just super! Even the nightlighting looks right. Hope to see more

Like many said, if you have the chance build the rest, as this tower is embedded into much larger buildings. Ottawa is my hometown. Been in that tower and the parliament The flag is Canada of course, change it for those who wish. Thanks for it. Will use it

Sorry to bump, but I just tested it. The chime seems to be correct, but if you are going to use the two o'clock chime, it would be nice if the clock was set at two o'clock. Other than that, very, very nice. I haven't reviewed the real thing in a while, but I wouldn't change anything.

Looks really good but I won't d/l because it just doesn't look right without the remainder of the centre block and the Library of Parliament to give it perspective. Please don't take this as a criticism. I only want to encourage you to consider Batting the whole shebang.

It is a very nice model, but the clock face looks a little squished. As You know, the heigth of things should be about 1,5 times the scale to look right in the game and this goes to clock faces too. If You had modeled a standing ellipse it would have looked like a circle when rendered, now you have modeled a circle and it looks like a lying ellipse...

Looks great. I realize the amount of work that goes into these small details. If you ever tackle the rest of the complex it'll be a huge undertaking.

About the chime, I used the Big Ben gnome to make it chime, and it seems only to chime twice. I don't know of any mod which could make it chime otherwise. And no, I didn't "modify" the Big Ben landmark, I BATed it from scratch. You can see the thread in the BAT Open Discussion.

Pretty good..., however, the peacetower had been around a LOT longer... After the parliment buildings burned to the ground in 1916, they were revuilt. the peace tower was NOT built to commemerate the ww1. it was simply rebuilt as it was before the fire... perhaps a simple Canadian history course would do?

The tower before the fire was called the Victoria Tower, and according to the Parliament website it was very different. http://www.parliamenthill.gc.ca/text/explorepeacetower_e.html

To clarify, the Peace Tower was NAMED (not built) in honour of our troops who were lost during WWI. And contrary to a few comments here, isn't the tower actually a seperate portion from the Centre Block? I can't say for sure since I've only approached it once and that wasn't exactly on my mind. Anyway, this looks fantastic legalizeit, thanks so much... it would be cool if the night lighting could rotate colours as it does in reality (IS that possible? *shrug*)
