Another MAP model

Just finsihed a new office tower in Midtown along Peachtree Street. Its the 1100 Peachtree building (tower) design by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates. while putting the finishing touches on the model I came to realise, after about an hour or so of work, that I did not make the building square (it is slightly a rectangle). Anyhow, I was thinking I could shift or scale out one side to make the sides equal, without effecting the opposite side. But, to no avail. I am stuck with a slightly incorrect model. Heck you wouldn't probably even notice it if I wouldn't of mentioned anything. Details, details, details.... :)

Coincidentally, Smallwood, Reynolds has designed the Cobb County Performing Arts Center which is currently under construction along Interstate 75, just inside the perimeter at the Cumberland area. From the rendering on the construction sign this looks like it will be a very cool and sleek looking building. I am anxious to see its completion and get some tastey pictures of it.

"MAP" model update

I started and posted most of the Colony Square model complex. I still have the Sheraton Colony Square Hotel to complete the whole development.

Also, if anyone happens to come across these models and wants to use them as a base model and add more detail, ie. more windows, materials, etc., please feel free... All I ask is that you refer to the "Modelling Atlanta Project" in your tag for that model when you upload it to 3DWarehouse.

Condo Remodelling

I have finally gotten around to doing some serious remodeling in my condo (no thanks to my dog). I was not neccessarily going to replace my flooring (carpet) but after my dog decided to eat a hole in the seam from my living room to my sunroom, and get a hold of a bag of potting soil (yes that one was my fault for leaving it to where she could get to it), it was time to do something about the floor.

Anyhow these following pictures are a few I took during the process of installing the wood laminate flooring in my living room & dinning room. I will later be installing slate in my sunroom, kitchen, and entry/foyer area soon.

This image is of the living room as it was with the tan colored carpet... oh and my wonderful dog (sally, in front) & her best friend Lucy (my girlfriends dog)

And another shot of the living room looking towards the sun room...

Here is a similar view from the previous image showing the carpet and carpet padding gone... Just rough concrete... really makes you wonder why people do carpet... its nasty stuff...

here is an image showing the wood laminate flooring being installed. This is looking towards the dinning room from the living room.

A final shot of the flooring looking again at the dinning room. The only thing missing is the quarter-round that will hide the 1/4" gap between the flooring and the base boards (currently being installed).

Also, I have not completed the last pieces for each bedroom doorways. I am still trying to figure out the best way to fit in the flooring so that the fit is just right. Check back soon for more images of the wood flooring and slate being completely installed (and I can't wait to get it all done)
