About This File

A dedication to the FireFirefighters of the world. A replica of The Glass Tower from the Towering Inferno Disaster Movie. The Tower stands at over 430m high, whilest only occupying a 8x7 footprint. Features nightlighting, a crowd at the main entrance and a medium flammability level for film re-enactments. Cost: 135,000, requires power & water. Found in the Landmarks menu.

 

This new revision, made 6 years after my first ever STEX creation has taken over 4 months to complete and is based on the films original design blueprints and high detail photographs of the original 70ft movie model made available to me by Ryan Thoryk of The Skyscraper Project. I hope you enjoy it!

wonderful work, hexy! The gold stands out, but is not overpowering... you've reached an ideal balance. Well done.

Tall alright...wow...Nice model in all, but could use better, more *used and older* textures to make it more interesting.

i think the roof could use a rework. looks too solid-grey what gives a little plasic-like feeling. also, like mrbison said, a little less "out of the box"-like textures, some minor weathering here and there, and it would look even better than it does already!

the gold would be completely out of place in my city, otherwise i'd grab this in a heartbeat.
