WOW, the Aquarium Residences is nice! How tall is it?

I think what you need is to make the buildings a little closer cause the city will look dense and realistic.

Well, I just got on.

So I'm leaving a comment. Anyways, awesome bridge, did you just make it? The only thing that looks weird is the bridges towers, they look too wide to be that tall. But other than that everything is good.

The towers are very nice, but too thick. Also, the bridge deck only looks like it can hold 1 lane for mini-coopers. I say keep the tower concept, but slim them down and make a wider deck.

i was just about to say the same thing
the actual design is cool but the towers are just to fat

the aquarium residences are awesome; great texture for the building

I agree with the slimming idea. Other than that, it looks awesome!

excellent. i love the one with the high points in the middle! is that a real building, if so, someone tell me what it's called so i can look up real pics of it. it's like a castle, like Pittsburgh's One PPG Place (one of my top favorite buildings). i love it

the bridge is fantastic, but i agree with them. make the towers skinnier and make it wider for more lanes.

Peter-All the buildings on the first pic are real and that is Pittsburgh's One PPG; the tallest is Wells Fargo I think in Houston.

Did you put your Trump in the Warehouse? Because I needed a model for a project but a crappy one came up.

after viewing austin's collection, i have to tell you that the one in the pic is not a model of One PPG Place, it is the Renaissance Tower in Dallas:

austin's model of the Renaissance Tower:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=6190fac0d69d38fe7c08728b6b4ccbf

This is One PPG Place, one of my favs (top 10):
Google's model:

well 70feet is the average size of most roads. so a bridge might be just a little bigger in width.
