After my Nashville model from last year, I decided to go for something a tiny bit bigger... 1:2400 Chicago!
Built over the course of the last 2 1/2 months, so far, Chicago measures 10 inches by 20 inches, so it covers about half of the area as my Nashville model. I also took some photos of it with Jeddah Tower and the AT&T Building from Nashville at the same scale.
My hope is to complete another 10inx10in section that includes Willis Tower, and then possibly start work on midtown New York City.

You can see here how Jeddah Tower looms over everything in Chicago, and how Nashville's AT&T building is lost amongst taller buildings.

The model even includes the L on S Wabash ave.
