Ford Field pushed ahead further last year. I still have it, and intend to keep working on it.

BTW, the Amsterdammer building in Ann Arbor was supposed to be a row of similar buildings down the entire block

it was one quick emergency upload to honor an occasion people!

on topic, can you tell me what you've done as far as Ford Feild and Michigan Stadium go? Im really interested in those two! (duh)quote>

This is how far I progressed into Michigan Stadium---

Look here

Wolverine: Ah, okay. Do you know what happened to it? Maybe they decided those ugly buildings across the street (I'm thinking that blue and white one with the space age roof) weren't working very well posing as a canal. Ann Arbor just isn't Amsterdam.

Budweiserdude: OMG!! Such a likeness! Except I would say that the blue, at least on the outside edge, needs to be WAY darker. Nice work though.

[patriots_1228 51]

holy.........shiite.........

Now included in budweiser: The ability to make the greatest BAT ever.

you better finish before we reach the punchline in this commercial

[Sim shady 12]

the stadium is beautiful! I hope you can find the time to finish it up soon!

who is doing One Detroit Center? and how is that project going. from my area of town across the river the 3 building i can see over the trees are the Ren-Cen, The New Part of the Casino and One detroit center, so i cant wait to see it on STEX

The guy who was making it stopped posting, and didn't respond to any of my PMs asking if I could have what he had (to finish if off).

Someday I might make it, since it's a pretty significant building downtown, is nearby other BATs of mine, and probably wouldn't be very hard to make.  It's also by notable architects, and has a little bit of financial history to it.

[bigskelding 12]

Gezz hope this project is not losing any steam!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Nofunk is 95% done with Hotel Wolverine.  Here's a progress picture he posted in his thread:

We uploaded three buildings in October too.  I've got some buildings that don't have much work left on them.  I hope to finish up as many BATs as possible this week (Spring Break).

[mcarch 15]

Can't wait for its release!!! I love the old downtown look.

[bigskelding 12]

Great Job

Is it going to be 3x4? I think we're currently experiencing a lack of quality Chicago-style 3X4 lots.

No, I rescaled the model (Jason posted an old preview above) to fit on a 2x2, which is accurate for the original structure. However, I was thinking of tweaking it some and releasing a 3x4 version like above. (I instance my saves in 3ds, so I have the model before I scaled it in.)

[josefmayor 8]

That's awesome Jason, is there anyway you can post your brick textures in our private topic thread. I think they would do well on my buildings

[nofunk 1,933]

You might want to ask me, Josef, since it's my BAT!

[josefmayor 8]

Oh! Can you post it or send it to me? I like it a lot.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Edit:

I think I've finally gotten the proportions correct.  I also started on the base.  There's still quite a bit to do on the roof and the base.

[zzazzmatazz 3]

really good work there Jasoncw,and Nofunk.I can't wait to see these wonderful BATS released!

[bigskelding 12]

I looks great Jason! I cant wait to have this building in my cities, Im tired of just looking across the river at it! lol

[patriots_1228 51]

Boston has building just like that but its black.

It looks great! Classic Jasoncw ;D.

[SimRabbit 48]

very nice jason, i like the buiding even if it is "too generic".

[Godzillaman 21]

Yay! We need more generic buildings around here...

[canuck3360 14]

ao glad to see the BSP doing well again

BD-I hope you finish that bad boy up sometime before the ugly structures are finished on the RL one

[SpartanBadger 4]

Hey looking great Jason! As for the night lights, I'm really hoping you're going to do the "extravagant" multi-colored lights at the top! Well no matter what you do I'm excited to see this one finished.

[Sim shady 12]

you perfectionist Jason. lol

[ianpaschal 77]

So here's an idea for Ann Arborites (not me ); I guess its called The First Federal Building on the corner of Main and Washington and it houses a La Salle bank. I bet that would fit right in with the rest of the BSP BATs.

[nofunk 1,933]

^ It's a beautiful building, and I've thought about modeling for quite some time now, but I think Jason wants to model it too, lol.

Maybe he and I should figure out who's doing it so it might actually appear in the game one of these days!

I would love to have a Meijer's store . . . especially the super ones that have interesting facades.

Hahaha, You mean the architectural monstrosities that are trying to look like a whole village?  God, what eye sores.  They should all be torn down IMO.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I'd like to model it, but I'd like to model everything, so you can do it if you'd like.  It's definitely a building that needs to get into the game.

I wonder if you could find elevations of the building.
