JC this is really incredible... are you doing this just for fun?

Just saw your website Nice work, hope you are successfull at selling your models. Price certainly seems reasonable for so much work

I did start the model just for fun, but near completion of the model I decided to set up my own website. Thanks for your lovely comment

Thanks everyone else for your nice comments, I didn't expect such good replies.

Thanks guys
I am currently working on a model of the the World Financial Center in full 3d too (a complex of 4 buildings located in front of the WTC site)

I have spent over 300 hours recreating the World Trade Center in 3D as it stood before it was destroyed in 2001. The model is very detailed and accurate and has been modelled using blue prints, diagrams and hundreds of photographs. The model includes all 7 buildings of the complex in full 3D detail, as well as the Plaza level (with all 4 outdoor sculptures). The model only has 1 texture [the plaza floor] everything else is in full 3D with materials applied.

I have used Sketchup to create the model, and Vray for Skecthup to render.
There is 190465 faces in the model.
