Nofunk's BAT Thread

[gutterclub 2,729]

In love with the back of the building...could almost double up as another BAT in its own right, sitting alongside the Manhattanville project bats! Awesome work...

[Sciurus 323]

Thanks everyone! I was in Washington DC for work the past 5 days, so haven't been able to work on anything, but I should have a new update very soon!

In the meantime, here's a photo I took of the main reading room at the Library of Congress.

Good to know you didn't leave us hanging again.  

That's an incredible building. I hope D.C was nice.

[Hotwheeler 409]

Those new Previews are stunning.The large yellow-ish Industrial Building (which looks killer by the way) kinda reminded me of the legendary 5 Pointz Graffity first.

And i love it,will look amazing in an Industrial Area.

 

I also have to agree with everyone else here,that Corner Building left next to the Savings Bank...that looks interesting.

I`m more than ready to see a new Set of american low rise Tenements and Rohouses....

Keep up your amazing Work.

Hey everyone, I'm busy again for the next few days, but I have successfully modded and tested Lindsay Brothers, and hope to upload it sometime this weekend!

Hope everyone is doing well!

looks Great @nofunk. 

I'm curious now, would you ever consider doing the Alice Chalmers plant?

 

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

It's a neat looking facility @DavidDHetzel, but after a quick image search myself, it was nearly impossible to find good reference images. I'd like to see some full size Great Lakes Area style factory of the early 1900's, though. Maybe something for Mr. Nofunk to put his imagination to use on? The old Studebaker facility in South Bend, IN was beautiful. 

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

Most of the factory is still around, though it has been changed to a multipurpose complex now. @Thin White Duke

[nofunk 1,933]

@DavidDHetzel, I'd certainly consider it, but like @Thin White Duke, I looked for reference shots and there aren't many. Although I suppose I could always just drive over to West Allis and take some pictures. 

I will say, I have so many projects in the pipeline right now that it probably won't be for a while, but ultimately I would like to make a large factory complex like Allis-Chalmers.

Speaking of projects... Lindsay Bros. is now on the STEX!

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@nofunk, yeah, you must  have a lot of inspiration there in Millwaukee. When I've been there I always notices the weird brutalist designs that seem to be prevalent in Milwaukee.

[Ceafus 88 1,889]

Wonderful job as always @nofunk!!

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

This model is truly beautiful, nofunk! Thanks

[Harry's Place 918]

great building  instant download. speaking of big industrial complexes we due lack some large scale abbatoirs   Somethign like this 30's art deco one  

[Fantozzi 4,068]

The window area looks so real ... this must be the Emma Stone of the SC4 industrial buildings.

[nofunk 1,933]

Thanks everyone!

@Urban Constanta, wow - really interesting building! That's a very architecturally significant slaughterhouse!

@Fantozzi, I have no idea what that means, but thanks! 

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

I believe he said that because Emma Stone won the Oscar for best actress yesterday

Ohhh! So I guess now you all know I didn't watch the Oscars last night. 

[Fantozzi 4,068]

Yup, she won it for best actress. But also it was said, she was the best looking that evening  (I didn't watch too, but that news attracted me).  

[nofunk 1,933]

Sooo... I started something new. 

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Looks very nice

...in a very industrial way. Can't wait to see what the left-hand part will look like.

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

Is this another Milwaukee building?

[Ceafus 88 1,889]

Looks like a great start!

[nofunk 1,933]

Thanks everyone! I've made some progress. 

@DavidDHetzel, this one is from Chicago.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Awesome! No doubts it's going to be an amazing model just like Lindsay Bros \o/

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@nofunk Funny thing! I checked out Chicago on google maps and by complete and total accident found the building within 30 seconds.

 

EDIT: It appears to be this building - https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8534269,-87.6497751,227a,20y,13.19h,45t/data=!3m1!1e3

[nofunk 1,933]

@JP Schriefer Thanks!

@DavidDHetzel No kidding! That's totally the building! Nice find!

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

nice, whats the name of the building anyways? I couldn't r ead the name on the side of the building.

Also I notices railtracks nearby any chance for a railserved version?

[nofunk 1,933]

@DavidDHetzel, from what I've been able to find online, it may have been named Loewenthal Metals, and that's the name I've been working with. Also, the railroad right of way goes right alongside the western side of the building, and there doesn't appear to have been any structural interaction between the building and the rail, so at this point I think I'm going to lot it normally, and you could always plop it in a way that would recreate the existing conditions of the real life building.
