Ex-Ithacan, this is a great thread.
Do you have photos of the model that inspired you at the NY World's Fair? Was it Democracity......Futurama? |
Hefei, Anhui, China
Most Chinese cities have a city model I think.
Here's one from the capital of the Anhui province, Hefei: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/...d693a82a8d.jpg More can be seen here: More angles of the Hefei model |
I use to do stuff like this as a hobby. Except I would create my own skylines and design my own buildings.
My next project will be an airport. |

This is the coolest idea for a thread. I love these models. That NY one is just amazing.
Here's an out-of-date model of a small slice of SF. It was done primarily for the Mission Bay development, but it includes some of the Financial District as well: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3157/...935e5183_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2129/...ceb57cfa_b.jpg |
That NY model is rediculously detailed and awesome. Wow. I've seen the Cincinnati model in person... it's at a museum in the old Union Terminal building (art deco gem)... very very cool in person. The lighting changes from day to night, lights come on in the models, streetcars run around, and a fire breaks out in one of the buildings only to be put out by the Fire Department.

The very first picture of Shaghai is incredible....
Awesome thread :yes: |
Well done. The Cincinnati model I've seen in person and it's a fantastic piece.
