New York City Skyline: Update #9


I'm getting excited as the two sides of this come together and I get a little glimpse of what the final finished piece will look like. It's hard to put a percentage on how complete it is at this point, but I think it's safe to say I'm past 50%. New buildings this week: 175 and 180 Water St., and 160 Front St. I've started filling in Pier 17 and the South Street Seaport, but I'll talk more about that next update when it will be more complete. Here's a closer look at some of the newer stuff:

New York City Skyline: Update #8

Only new building this week is 180 Maiden Lane. I spent most of my time since the last update on the waterfront. This week's big addition is the South Street Seaport. It has only just been added, so it's not complete. The two tall ships (see zoom below) are part of the South Street Seaport Museum. They are (left to right) the Wavertree and the Peking.
