(...) Hey, don't be badmouthing the yellow :) And the fact that the Bricksburg Hotel and the Octan HQ are the same color is strictly coincidence. Since I was modelling the Octan HQ after a real building (and I didn't have 50,000 tan bricks) I built (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks. I wanted to try and emulate the sloped front of the real building as close as possible. The best way to do that, since I used all my thin walls for the roof panels, was to use car windshields, similar to what I used on the Museum ((URL) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) WoW! What a nice BIG building! And it's yellow too! Just like a certain hotel from a little while back... I think I saw an Octan press release indicating something about the falling prices of oil have caused them to consider putting the new (...)

(...) Congrats! What a great huge office building. I'll echo Jason's praise of the windows. The fans on the roof are nice too! Very nice! Jonathan (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks. I really wanted to duplicate the unique shape of the building as much as I could. The facets on the roof and the bend in the middle were vital to that. I was bummed when I dove into the project and realized just how many bricks it'd (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Consider it done. Even though I'm 6'5", it still looks extremely impressive next to me. (...) Heh, thanks. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. My Ninja guys built this on the Isle Of Mist. :) Okay, maybe not. Adrian (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) Well, you captured the BP Building perfectly! Just needs twice as many floors, as you said. That said, it's still huge! I can't wait to see your latest stuff IRL. The vents/fans at the top and the entire glass section are excellent too. --Bram (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) That is amazing! Not only is it realistic, but it is also huge! Could you stand next to it and take another picture to give us more of an idea of its size? I guess I will pick my jaw up from the floor now ... -- Pawel (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
