New York City Skyline: Update #8

New York City Skyline vector
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.

New York City Skyline: Update #7

The last couple of weeks I've been focusing on filling in a lot of areas that I glossed over earlier because they were too difficult to figure out. Hence no update since September. But I do have some new interesting things to show now. Including the Empire State Building, which is behind the Brooklyn Bridge in this view. I've also started filling in some of the Midtown skyline. Here's a close-up:
Also of note; the not-yet-completed 1 World Trade Center (or as it's commonly called: The Freedom Tower). The building has actually topped out, but is still under construction. So perhaps by the time I finish this thing, I'll be able to put the spire on top. That unfinished spire-topped tower is 70 Pine St. Behind that is One Chase Manhattan Plaza. Also new this week: 100 Wall St. and 120 Wall St.

New York City Skyline: Update #6

Call this one the Wall Street Update. Buildings added in this installment: 20 Exchange Place, The Trump Building (40 Wall St.), Deutsche Bank Headquarters (60 Wall St.), and  75 Wall St. Here's a zoom-in on what I've worked in the last week.

New York City Skyline: Update #5




I know I said I was going to work left to right, but I couldn't really resist jumping ahead to the Brooklyn Bridge. It's way too interesting. But now you have an idea of how wide the final image will be. The final skyline will incorporate everything between those ferry terminals on the left and easternmost pillar of the Brooklyn Bridge on the right. Here are some zooms of the two pieces as they are now (click to get a larger image):
