That model is stunning. I think thats the best possible representation i've seen to date, although I wish it featured the comcast logo at the peak. I've still no clue how that might look outside of some old rendering i think the Cheat made.

And now it's going up to 47. CC is now neck and neck with BAT for the #4 spot.

That would be like Veronika Varekova wearing neon green lipstick.

It's nice to get off the train, go for a cigarette on the east portico of 30th Street, and see random people pointing and taking pictures.

I know I should know this, but where are the models? I'm in town for the holiday and I'd love to check them out.

Awwesome shots everyone. MJ, your shots continue to impress. I love the vertical shot from the corner where the bottom looks wider than the top. And woo, keep the night shots coming! I like the one with Cira in the background.

I was driving down 19th Street the other evening and I thought that it would be an amazing shot looking directly east from the middle of the block (on 19th). CC is surrounded by all the other buildings, all lit up like. I don't walk around there too much but I'd really like to try to get that shot some day.

The glass really looks incredible. Very classy. I love this building and there really are no flaws about it. Thats something very tough to achieve I think. Nice job Philly.

oh man ... so busted. funny that you were on that train, radhaz. when he honked the horn, i turned around and i could have sworn that conductor was going to jump off that moving train and rip my throat out. i wasn't going to jump -- i just like to be close!

nice shots there, volguus and swine.

one from last night's weather mess:


and a few from today, BLACK FRIDAY.

Although I wish the glass wasn't so wavy, it looks superb here. Can't wait to see it go all the way up.

Yes, kz, what's wavy about it? You'll get that effect from perfectly straight panes.
