AMAZING!  Thanks for posting this.  That is one helluva undertaking.

Hey thanks, glad you like it.

It's taking me a while since I'm compiling every structure from photographs I've taken, but it will get there.

If you missed it, the Florida Times-Union ran an article about my project in July:

I am sure everyone will enjoy your work.  The article mentioned...

Although he didn't have the money to hire a helicopter to take him up for aerial views, he tried for unique angles from the city's bridges.
"I can have a camera go where a plane or helicopter can't go," he said.
He also found aerial views of downtown and Southbank buildings on a government Web site.

Have you tried mapquest street view?

Lunican, thanks for the resource. Bill Cobb has taken some great photos there.

I have gotten a bit more vision for my project. I plan on keeping my model current, which means I will be archiving structures I've modeled as they get updated in real life. In addition, I would like to create period models showing the progression of downtown through the decades.

I wanted to keep myself busy and this seemed like as good a thing as any.

I so hope you get rich from doing this, some how.

Hey thanks. That would be swell.

And then use that money to build three nice towers to fill out the skyline!
