*Brings in another skyscraper ice sculpture- this time shaped as the Washington Tower*

I hope the ice sculpture has plenty of roof junk, DT.  Otherwise, it gets a 7  

[DuskTrooper 316]

Yes, the roof junk is there!  However, some idiot snapped the ice antenna off. 

[PDA 75]

Okay everyone... in case you haven't noticed... Washington Tower is now LIVE ON THE EXCHANGE!!!

 

*begin partying here*

[DuskTrooper 316]

BTW, how do you think this looks?  ( sorry for the half-crappy photomontage! )

 

edit: oops, I forgot!:

[geoff_diamond 43]

Looks great!  Hehe... she fits in quite nicely with all of your work.  BTW... what's the one behind Washington with the blue lighting?  I really like that.

[DuskTrooper 316]

Eh, some old tower some people said I had too many of that style....

 

Hmm............

This is one of my favorite buildings I've ever downloaded.  I'm hosting the after-party this evening over on the roof of the Atlantic, with no ending time, and cocktails on the house.  Everyone is invited.  That way, every time we raise our glasses, we'll be looking up at that gorgeous Washington Tower! 

 

[DuskTrooper 316]

BTW, how long did this take to render?

it's an OBS ( obsessive BAT syndrome ) thing.

[jtportland 184]

cool! an after party! yaaayy, the cobb furturistic building looks great with washington, two really tall buildings! hehe, and it also fits in nicely with DTs buildings too. and this took about 19 hours to render . but it was worth it!

[Tunafish 48]

My top 10 BAT buildings. 1- Domition Plaza, 2- Washington Tower, 3 Cobb altura tower, 4-Frank and Archi, 5- Wash Mutral, 6-St. Mary's Axe, 7-Sears Tower, 8-LJI, IJI,LJL? Finnacial tower,9 Cobb atlantic, 10 Sim Bank Tower! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHh I love it!!11

[geoff_diamond 43]

cobb and tuna - thank you guys so much   As you both know, none of this would be possible without the help we always receive along the way!

 

Anyway, Darren, I have to say, Altura and Washington look absolutely amazing standing next to each other   Any city would be proud.  So, which one is actually taller? (I'm too lazy to load up SC4 and check myself)

[Tunafish 48]

Altura is taller because of it's spire.

[subedei 3]

Why do i get the dreaded sim box?...any clues

Phew... that was one helluva party!!!  I would appreciate it if you guys hadn't let me fall asleep in the pool though!  Now I look like a freakin' prune :\

 

At any rate, I decided to do some under-water batting when I woke up... anyone interested in this?

I can dig it (and, in fact, I do).  What do you have in mind for it?

[geoff_diamond 43]

Thanks!  But, I'm a little confused as to what you mean (about what I have in mind for it)?

[Artaxis 18]

Washington Tower looks friggin A for Awesome. lol...that new one looks cool too.

[AfroThunda 1]

I must say I am really impressed with the Washington Tower, amazing work... I really like the night lighting! It will have its new home in Kunimura shortly, keep up the amazing work.

[jtportland 184]

I just meant commercial/residential, or if it's a whole building onto itself or if it's the top of something...pretty much anything, really.

Looks great though.

[jtportland 184]

well im not sure what geoff had in mind for it, but i looks like it's going to be somwhere along the lines of CO$$ or CS$$

[geoff_diamond 43]

It makes me think of a federal building or something to that effect.  So, yes, probably CO$$?

Yes I think they look awesome together.    Which is taller?  Good question: Tuna says Altura.  I wasn't paying attention to it, since I was having so much fun photographing the new download.  The Altura is about 450 meters in Gmax, (which means it's less than that in real world scale of course).

I hope no one has too bad of a hangover.  I always like to serve top-shelf vodka at my parties. 

[geoff_diamond 43]

No hangover here... all the Grey Goose you gave me is floating in ur pool now

 

At any rate, Washington is 400m to the top of the triangular roof features and like 450ish to the spires I think.

[jtportland 184]

an update on clark...

[drewz15 0]

 that is one awesome building. the nightlighting makes it look like it would go great right at a shoreline overlooking the water. and the base looks so great lit up that way.

[DuskTrooper 316]

Nice work!  The mid rise looks like a I-HT!

[hogmeister 7]

The Washington is fantastic; until I saw it in game I never actually realised how tall it was, looking good, especially the base, some great work there, infact great work all over, with particular emphasis on the night lighting, real class. Sorry I couldn

[geoff_diamond 43]

But I hate IHT ((

 

Besides, isn't a bit tall to be an industrial building? (it's > 300 feet)
