so here's the update... finished this hell of a building.. well. it aint 100% done, needs few more parts on the top, and it;s shape will be more defined when i add cable-car and a zeppelin, but here it is for now:

On this render bricks aren't rendered because i had my proxy model visible


And this is the explanation why i've been working on this all day, why Max crashed about 20 times because of lack of memory and why attaching 6000 primitives together took 45 minutes

Detailed as usual i have 6000 rivets on it, and i need to convert them all to 1 object instead of 6000... it took 45 minutes

But it's fine now

Now on to the next part - the Zepp
