        Great model, remus...!! πŸ‘
        Looks like it has many details...
        I assume that you rendered this using Indigo... πŸ˜‰

        Cheers

          Twilight mainly, it was a pig to get in to indigo because the model's so big.

            Indeed, very nicely detailed model, Remus! πŸ‘
            Did you not think of using some indifferent background colour instead of physical sky? I find that back or some grey looks quite nice with clay models (especially if you give the sun colour some very subtle warmth)

                Excellent work Remus. I bet Sir Benjamin Hall would have found this model very useful in his day.

                  Gai, probably would have been a good idea to play around with different backgrounds a bit, but as it stands i quite like the physical sky as it has a bit of a sense of scale.

                  Mike, not with all the details i missed!

                  A few more details for anyone interested;

                  edges: 1,336,207
                  faces: 538,358

                    Incredible work, Remus. Will you be modeling the rest of the building?

                            Terrific model - 10 star!

                            But to be technically accurate, Big Ben is actually a bell inside the clock tower ...πŸ˜‰

                            Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

                              Just won the 'Who is Least Competitive Championships' where trying to win will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

                                    Wow. That's awesome! When you orbit, does it lag a second before it moves? Because that beauty looks very hi poly! To make it perfect, photo-realistic textures? That would definately look like it is actually a real photo. Stunned by the amount of work you put into that!

                                    Cheers.

                                        Excellent modelling skills. The rest of the houses of parliament building has some crazy amount of detail to it, Sketchup would explode!
