Title: Hallgrimskirkja, Reykjavik
Post by: callagrafx on June 05, 2008, 09:56:37 AM
This one's been on my to-do list for a long while...

This spectacular building is the Hallgrimskirkja, located in Reykjavik.  It's a contemporary Lutherian cathedral and is Iceland's tallest building.  The view from the top is stunning (use the lift) and the stained glass is striking.

The spire was (and still will be) a real mother to figure.  This is the actual:

And before some smart arse says there are not enough steps in the spire, that's deliberate...The game won't pick up on that much detail at psuedo ortho angles.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :P

There's not enough steps in the spire...  ::)

Stupid jokes aside tho, it looks like a great building both in real life and in the SC4 version, you did (and are doing) a great job in modeling it!
