At last weekends GATS show, I showed my 3 skyscapers for the first time.
Besides John Bucy’s LeVeque tower that we have showed before, we complemented
the Columbus OH skyline with:
Huntington Center:

Vern Riffe Building:

Borden Building:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=71886
All three buildings are in the same scale as the LeVeque, 1:100. This translates
into 1 meter equals 1 brick. For all of the 4 skyscrapers, this comes down to
between 3 2/3 brick to 4 1/3 brick per floor. My 3 buildings have the exact
amount of floors as the real buildings. We had several people count the floors,
and indeed conclude there were enough of them. We encountered quite a few people
that worked/ had worked in one of those buildings, some pointed out where their
office is/was located. I’ve included pictures of the real buildings in the
folders for comparison. The 4 skyscapers are part of our ongoing downtown
project. The tallest Columbus skyscraper is not yet build, nor has anyone
stepped forward to do so (frankly, it is a pretty boring one). Maybe by next
Columbus GATS (in 2005), we’ll have a few more, as well as some of the
lower-rise buildings around the downtown area. Comments/suggestions welcome.
