I have a suggestion, beware on the size relative to other buildings  Paul has already made.

Here is a photo overlooking the roof and height difference.

---for some reason the link not work---

[paulvmontfort 617]

In that case, make the buidling exactly the same height as in real life. I do that as well so then it should be in scale with the other buildings

[Cockatoo 2,257]

Oh, thanks Hong Kong. That photo of the roof is brilliant, one of the only sections I couldn't eventually find a reference for.

I know I've struggled with scale in the past, but I had an accurate floor plan for this... and If I got the floor height measurements right then this should be near spot on in terms of size, shape and scale.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Now this is a busy roof...  

Good luck BATting that, cockatoo - looks like you'll need it!

[bixel 1,228]

OMG that roof is so gorgeously fun!!! Make it look exactly like that!!!! The broad white ducts will the be hardest. That was actaully the hardest part on the Huthinson House building as well.

[Cockatoo 2,257]

These will be uploaded as soon as the STEX is back.

Hi cockatoo,

i just downloaded your AIG tower and was wondering if there were any plans to add the rainbow nightlights to it? like here:

if there isnt or if it's too hard/not possible then that's fine and i completely understand (actually, i dont because i wouldnt have the slightest clue about BATing lol).

i just think that they'd really add another element to the building which could really make it pop in a SC night view.

cheers man.

a long time I haven't returned here.... and when I found these two amazing towers standing in front of me hahaha

supports!

[Ke|is 3,337]

You make me happy with these bat's

[art128 4,622]

these BAts look good my friend

[Cockatoo 2,257]

I've decided to challenge myself a little over the Christmas break and do something a bit different to the usual glass & steel skyscrapers.

These- grand old style buildings from a district called Bund in Shanghai. Pity is that I hardly know anything about the place, so I was wondering if anybody would be able to provide names of any of these ones that I've found on globalphoto's (these were some of the more interesting ones). If so, then I may do a couple of ‘em.

The reddish one on the far right.

[Jasoncw 11,949]

Odainsaker is already doing the first one. I don't know what the others are, but if you go to emporis.com and filter by date, it might help you find them, since there are so few buildings left from those times.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Glad to see someone tackleing some of these classical styles. Really quite beautiful. I would love to see any of those three in the last pic, the left one is especially unique.

Hope to see how this goes, once I get a bit more practice I was thinking about dabbling in a similar project,

-Todd

[nihonkaranws 88]

Hey Cockatoo. Your stuff is looking really nice, and this looks like quite an attempt, but I know you can do it. Good luck my friend!

The buildings in the first or second pic, or the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp building, also in The Bund, would make great additions, not only to HK's recreation, but to the game in general.

Actually I think thats the EWO Building. Although the HSBC building would make an excellent addition

Heres a picture of the HSBC building if you want to fancy a go at it

First picture is the Peace Hotel

Wow I come back in 3 weeks and there has been so many updates! I cannot wait to download the 2 buildings (the PLA HQ and the Black office skyscraper) they look amazing!

[Cockatoo 2,257]

^^ They've been on the STEX for a good 6 weeks now. Thanks.

I've started work on the most simple of them, the orange-ish building in the third picture above (Nothing special yet, this is just the skeleton really...)

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Nothing special eh? It looks pretty nice so far. Can't wait for more progress!

[_Atticus 10]

It looks really nice. it is also cool to see that you not only excel in modeling modern skyscrapers, but also smaller traditional structures.

Cheers.

Cockatoo looks really good just like that. It looks like the building is under construction. Keep up the good work!
