While I know that frogface BATted St. Paul's Cathedral several years ago (I have it), I've discovered that it is underscaled relative to the RL building. Aside from it being around 73% shorter (lengthwise) and narrower than RL St. Paul's, it is also not scaled up vertically (as is commonly done with BATs to overcome the SC4 camera's vertical squashing effect). I hope that a better BATter than I will take the time to make an accurately-scaled version of this magnificent London landmark.
EDIT: To illustrate the scaling issue in a more SC4-relevant way, the existing St. Paul's BAT can fit on a 5x8 lot (it came with a 5x9 lot, but I made a personal 6x8 version), while a full-scale version would need at least a 6x11 lot.
Well, I never tried to measure it, but it always looked underscaled to me. That and being offered it at far to early a stage of development (more like a large village than a cathedral city) rather put me off it. A properly-scaled (in SC4 terms) version would be a wonderful thing to have.

Cogeo is developping / upgrading a tool:
SC4 Model Tweaker, which allows you to rescale a model already done (on the different axis x y z).
The version on the LEX is locked, but a new version is under development, you can check his thread to get a "trial version"

Seconded please.
Hi ! I'm also interested by an accurately-scaled version of St Paul's Cathedral ! I would be great ! :) :thumbsup:
What's new ??
