Also, question of interest. What will happen to this thread once this building is 100% complete?

Yes, they're around $130 each. I'd love lower-quality ones at a more affordable price. I've been to 13 of the 20 current world's tallest and have the cheap souvenir models of each (with a few exceptions, like Shanghai and Lotte which were still only like 80% done when I visited.) I'd love to add some Phila buildings to my mock city.

^ Seems like you've got a fantasy football-like thing going with your skyscraper collection. A "city" with all of the top players.

I've been collecting replica building a couple years, got NY, Chicago, and New Addition Philly Supertall at Work and have entire philly skyline at home office. They are in order of year construction completed from flat iron to Philly first supertall.

Are those all InFocusTech replicas? If not, who makes the CTC?

Your collection will never be complete without the Liberty I tower. I believe it is the most sophisticated and most beautiful in it's complexity, of all the skyscrapers in the world today. I think we in Philly take it for granted being that its been here for over 30 years. When friends and relatives come here for the first time, the first thing they notice is Liberty I. They ask questions like, "what is that?" They are so amazed they don't take a moment to realize that it's a building. Oh and question; Is that the Hearst Tower, the smallest one in the middle?

Indeed, you are correct. I love the history of Hearst, it was built to support a super structure above the base, but due to economic downturn needed to wait 80 years to receive its Foster Gem above.

Made by InFocusTech they are 3D printed using high quality materials, mine range in height from 3" to 13" and have nice weight to them, CTC feels 3lbs.

Can you give me a ballpark price range? I may have just found a new hobby.

The Vista would make a nice addition to your skyline !

Beautiful collection

My tallest skyscraper replica (The Empire State Building) anchors the corner of my living room at just over 4 feet tall.
I would love to own some Philadelphia skyscraper replicas.

Skyscraper replicas by InFocusTech can be found here:

https://replicabuildings.com

I'm not affiliated with the company in any way other than as a happy customer. I've bought around 20 buildings from them over the years, and they're awesome. It's a family-run company based in Allentown, PA. They've always been so customer-friendly. Prices range from about $50 to over $300 depending on the size of the replica. Not a cheap hobby, but they're absolutely worth it. I'd love to get into that business myself.
