This is great! Nice job.

[edwardjeria 503]

Cool

[PBGV103 729]

Hey guys.  I don't want you all thinking I disappeared again.  I'm working on something big.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Yeah, and it's 7x19 tiles and over 1000 meters high! 

[PBGV103 729]

haha not 1000 meters high.  330 meters after vertical scaling, which is over 1000 ft.

[unclesahm 32]

One57? The Bank of America Building?

[PBGV103 729]

It's a surprise for now, but no, those lots would be 4x3 and 4x8 respectively.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Oh, I got it wrong

But still looks like it will be really cool!

The Metlife/Helmsley Building complex???

[Hanson784 165]

Wow! You're cranking out these NYC skyscrapers so fast I can barely keep up with all the developments. I think I spy the UBS Building on 51st and 6th Avenue.

 

Secret project? Just as long as you get Metropolitan Tower and Cityspire done (and 601 Lexington, Citigroup Center, 345, 299 and 245 Park Avenue, CBS and the Sixth Avenue swath also) I'll be happy with whatever it is.

 

Hmmm.... 330 meters tall? That leaves only a few buildings.... 30 Rock maybe? It's right in the part of Midtown you're BATing. Looking forward to this mystery project.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Actually if it's 330 after vertical scale it means there's something like 250 meters    (or I got it wrong again)

Should be Bloomberg Tower or Condé Nast Building 

 

Speculation, speculation....

[PBGV103 729]

I will say that it is a group project, but I won't divulge details until the other people involved are ready.

Given that the MetLife building is 246 meters tall (which, when scaled vertically by the usual 133%, becomes 328 meters) and that PBGV didn't deny the previously-suggested lot size of 7x19 (which is equivalent to four city blocks in Manhattan), I'm thinking it's a combination of the Helmsley Building, MetLife Building and Grand Central Terminal. If so, I can only hope for a functional Park Avenue Viaduct...   Even without that, though, I can hardly wait to see the first previews. This is going to be epic (even if I'm wrong)!

Clearly he has decided to BAT downtown Manhattan. The only way downtown is possible is by making it one giant plopable BAT.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Or maybe Central Park as an overhanging prop.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Or the New World Trade Center

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Long time no posts here '-'

I would like to ask if you think about finish some buildings from your blog. Those models you were doing there are amazing!

[Ke|is 3,337]

I was wondering exactly the same...I hope so

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Yup, especially since some of his creations are just perfect for the International Month. :/

[hciwocmoc 1]

OH PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE, JUST RELEASE THEM ALL ON THE STEX ALREADY, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Citigroup isn't really near finished. I've been working on 299 tonight and with some new pictures I've found some major errors. I'll probably get the rest of those fixed tomorrow. 345 Park Ave needs a few updates, mainly blinds and maybe a couple materials, and all of them need modeled interiors and new night lights.

 

Here's the planned order with the group project thrown in somewhere.

1: 299 Park

2: 270 Park

3: 345 Park

4: 600 Lexington

5: 425 Lexington

6: Lever

7: Citigroup

8: 277 Park

9: 280 Park

10: Westin

 

What's left of the tower section of the Westin is simple enough, but the chaos at the base is what's putting me off on that one.

Upload all the buildings you have! the westin hotel is amazing and very iconic !!!

Please remember that it's not considered adequate to comment on threads that have been silent by long time. PBGV posted here last time in March of 2014, but logged into the site less than a month ago. I would recommend a polite private message asking if they still have the model files.
