![]() All I did for the windows was put a piece of. They are too industrial looking and have rather thick muntons. Also, I forgot to mention that I don't use the windows supplied by Walthers. The Walthers Modulars are perhaps a little dated for that purpose. Sorry but I need to get a better camera to take proper pics.(Edit) I just re-read the original post and realized that the OP was asking about 'modern' skyscrapers. It can barely be seen so anything that mimics the structure above will work, such as photo copies of the real walls assembled to cover the lower surfaces. To get an approximatley 30" high building, I only built about 14" from the Walthers Modulars and the rest below the sight line can be just enough structure to support the top of the 'skyscrapers' at the right height. Second, I only modelled the visible part of the building which is behind several structures in the forground. First, never buy them at regular price! The regular price is ridiculous! They are regularly on sale for about 60% off the regular price. Here some web pages that may be of great help on your have built three 'tall' buildings using Walthers Modulars, but I used a couple of tricks to keep the cost down. Tall building require a more rebust structure. Another way is to scratch build it, this is the most difficult option and requires a lot of craftmanship. Walthers modulars, DPM and City Classics are perfect for kitbashing tall buildings. Buy several of them and try to stack them togather, actually is not that difficult. ![]() Several euro brands offer modern buildings (Faller, Pola, Kibri, etc.). The second option, perhaps the most cummon is to kitbash one from other kits. These kits are awsome and they offer expansion sets so you can build you're building as tall as you wish. I've build several of CMR's buildings including the Park Hotel. Skyscraper kits tend to be very expensive, but the option exists. 3 ways: Buy a kit, kitbash, or scratch built. ![]()
