Post by: skyscraper242 on January 18, 2012, 09:51:16 AM
Hello community, this is sksc242
In this thread I'm going to show you my current projects.
I'm also known as skyscraper241 on Simtropolis.com
So, my current project are the Saranac Apartments located in Tribeca, New York City
This is my third attempt on this building after I made some mistakes.
This is what I have so far:

Nice start on the base.  Do you have any RL pics so we can compare?
And welcome to SC4D.

Maybe you can appreciate it better now.
This is just a "test" preview, I wanna make the ohter windows before I start with raising the building.

My only criticizer is that it looks kind of bald up top. You are going to use the "Roof Junk" stuff that is on the STEX, right? The other thing about the roof, is while I have not seen this place in reality, there was gonna be some roof textured pieces covering that top of the building up, right?
