This thing is driving me nuts. No wonder no one has built it yet. The model is only part of the challenge. |
We're looking at the tower detail here, heavily compressed, and fraudulent. |
Authentic details on the tower now. Compared to the actual photo though, I should add the machine rooms above the blue and pink banners. |
Why Was I So Lazy?
It started when I looked at Bing maps, they have a perspective feature which gave me a point of view I hadn't seen… and then it was like pulling at a loose thread. the tower was too high, the details on the wings were wrong, where the wings meet the towers was wrong, there was all kinds of window detail that is really specific and I just fudged it all over the place on the first model.So i deleted the submission, and now i have a much better looking model - the tower's surface is much less compressed and fugly, and it has the acurate window detail, including the tall vertical column of windows on the interior courtyard side of the tower, and the shorter columns of windows where the wings meet the tower.
I found images on Bing, Google Building Maker satellite photos, Street View and the Flamingo Hotel website. |
