Behold the first shot of the final version of Tower 2. Probably a full day's work from being done. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, though I scheduled tomorrow for catching up on homework.
And where do you find the time for that homeworK?
Totally Incredible Work ...
Seems this will be the view from my windows / fire escape & roof -- although from a lower vantage point and with a few more buildings in the foreground -- but essentially these are what I'll see looking south (#1 Day, #2 Dusk):

Thank you STR, these are fantastic. It's nice to see an early glimpse of what looks like a beautiful new downtown skyline from every angle.
Amazing!(Look of "amazement", not "eek!")
Close. You said you're from the Broadway and Houston area?And where do you find the time for that homeworK?

Note: Yes, I know there are black splotches on some of the buildings and no, I have no idea why its doing that yet.
From Brooklyn with a half-assed attempt at the bridge. Will be fixing that soon.
Jeez this stuff is amazing. Now, STR, once you complete the WTC site and Brooklyn Bridge, you must must must do up some better models of 20 Exchange Place and the AIG building (70 Pine St). Nothing fancy, but I know you have all the time in the world (), and those two deserve better than the placeholders currently there.
Will Tower 2 really eff up the view of Tower 1??From Brooklyn with a half-assed attempt at the bridge. Will be fixing that soon.
Nooooooooooo! :/
Well... if you look at the Freedom Tower & Tower 2 as one, and the sort-of farther off Tower 3 as the other... they do sort of provide a "Twin Tower" view?
Thanks
You said you're from the Broadway and Houston area?
That's close to my perspective ... but that ^^^ seems more like WEST Broadway & Houston
(W. B'wy is a straight shot down to the WTC, whereas Broadway looks straight down to the Woolworth).
... with a half-assed atempt \/ \/ \/ to add the Gehry / Beekman Tower to that view ...

Beekman Tower looks like a melting chocolate popsicle. Hope something gets built to obstruct it soon.
Tower 2 is freakin' massive.
From that location. Move 5 blocks in either direction and you'll be able to see both again.
