Those photos.... drooling. Also, seeing the photos from above keeps reminding me insanely dense LSE will feel in about 5 years if they can finish it up by then.

Incredible shots Nick

First of all...that last shot. Amazing. The last pictures shared in this thread are all awesome.

Second of all..as someone said already...just the structure of this building with out the cladding is awesome.

Really can't wait to see this thing be full of glass. Hopefully it looks just amazing.

Daaaaaaaamn. Goosebumps. Well done, sir. UliVERY well done.

At the rate they're installing glass, it might actually look like that in a year or so.

Nice pics, Harry. I think this one shows that the glass is decidedly more green than the many blue glass buildings around it which is a good thing.

Agreed. This is going to be absolutely beautiful. I was looking at the glass at the very bottom in the mockup that @vexxed82 did, and it hit me how gorgeous this is going to be.

Yes, it definitely looks greener when compared to the neighboring buildings, which is fantastic. We need some differentiation in the skyline.

Goddamn, son!

I was out of town for the weekend, and reading SSP for the first time since Thursday. I was convinced for a split second that somehow Vista doubled in height in the last 72 hours!

Excellent Photoshop skills!

Ha, thanks. It was a fairly easy edit al things considered. Because this photo is in (mostly) one point perspective, all I had to do was outline & copy some frustums, then scale them down to align with the actual photo and it pretty much took care of itself. Took maybe 10 minutes. Believe me, scaled to 100%, it's pretty janky.

The only tricky part was the east side of the west tower. I used the eastern wall of the east tower from another photo I took a few moments later, then distorted it to match the perspective so it gave depth to the to of the building.
