Hi Grahame, I'll be fascinated to see how you model the reflective coating, its a really interesting building to be modelling

Without anything to scale off properly it's hard to see how big this is but guessing from the floor tiles, this is going to be incredibly impressive on the layout Great piece of selective compression! I too look forward to seeing how this comes together

Hi Grahame, just a small thought about the reflective nature of the glass; it was no doubt an aesthetic design consideration of the architects of Southwark towers for it to reflect it's surroundings. Once finished and sited on the layout, I'm wondering if the faces of an exhibition's audience would appear at a scale 150ft in the windows?

Yep, good point - the horrors of a preening mirror on the front of a layout is a horrible thought. Fortunately due to the odd shape and orientation of the building there is only one reflective surface facing 'the front' and that will be at about 45 degrees to the edge. Secondly it's not going to be a portable exhibtion layout so it'll probably only be my mug on display. And, of course, I'll do my best to ensure that there are no such wierd and frightening reflections in any photographs published.
