Shipbucket

I decided to try something different from ships and planes, so here is the third tallest building in Perth:


108 St Georges Terrace (formerly known as the Bankwest Tower), which is 247m to the top of the antenna and 214m to the top of the roof.

It's in Shipbucket scale but I wasn't too sure what to do about templates to I just left it as it was...

Great work!
As for the template - I suppose that template of basic (1000 points) width, just stretched appropriately in height would be ok.

Very nice! Looks great!

Thanks guys

It looks good. This is the exact idea I had for Buildingbucket. I actually have a skyscraper design that I've tended to on and off since starting it a couple years ago. It has a scale key and name block, so I think if I post it here, we could pool ideas and come up with a template. I also wrote down a rough idea of some rules back when I pitched the idea in General Discussion.

Rowdy36, what do you think of the idea of possibly integrating my ideas and even potentially making this an open Buildingbucket thread?

IMHO that could be an interesting initiative.

I like that idea. I think it would add another very interesting dimension to the SB scale and style.

That's perfectly fine by me

Cool. I now actually have something to offer.

The Buildingbucket rules would be as follows:

• 1. Buildings are to be drawn in SB scale (2px = 1 foot). Anyone wishing to draw buildings in other scales (such as 4px = 1 foot) should create a separate thread (for the 4px example, you could call it, say, "Buildingbucket X2").
  2. Buildings are to be drawn in Shipbucket style. This means the same general rules about outlines/pixel corners, shading, etc. as Shipbucket are to be practiced. An exception to this would be that the rules regarding window colors aren't as strict. Many buildings have certain visible window tints, some of them iconic, and drawings should reflect this. Use blue when there is no particular tint or (if it's a personal design) where you don't intend to tint.
  3. Buildings may be real, never built, proposed, alternate history, or a design of your own, just like ships.
  4. Practice respect for buildings. Do not draw rust, missing panels, or similar damage on buildings. Depicting buildings under construction is fine, especially if it aids in visualizing a personal design, so long as the depiction is respectful and in good faith.
  5. If a structure's height exceeds its width, use a vertical scale key instead of a horizontal one. For example, a drawing of the Pentagon would feature a horizontal scale, whereas a drawing of the Empire State Building would use a vertical scale.

As for my first offering, I started working on this "generic skyscraper" almost two years ago and completed it not long thereafter, and it's been sitting in my pictures folder ever since. More recent additions include the scale key and name, and my most recent change before uploading was to make the mechanical floors less unsightly by "painting" them light brown instead of gray. The drawing also includes an outline of what the top view is supposed to look like, and I'm still classing it as a WIP as I don't know whether or not I want to do anything more with the drawing. So, without further ado, here's what I've got:
