Sexy!

I'm loving the Tallest tower that has a resembalense to the Empire State Building. Dose it have a name?

FREKI · #11 Posted **May 31, 2007, 6:50 AM**

^Yep the oh so original "Atlantis Tower"

( it will most likely be renamed when I complete the city's signature building ( Burj Dubai..Smurch Dubai

) but until then it's the name...

It was indeed inspired by a mix of Empire State, the Time Square tower ( name??? ) and your version in Staunton... ( as you know I'm a fan!

)

Hope to add a few buildings later today..

I really like the blue one on the right with the intersecting beams on the facade. The spire on the tallest in the middle is really cool also.
