Thanks ! Good question. Its an imaginary place so I didn't really work to a scale. Its 62 cm tall.

does it have an inside as well? there are a lot of books and stuff in the windows. Are those just pictures or are there acctual items there?

The books are real, they all have pages and a cover...its not a full inside though as the back is permanently fixed. It was initially designed as part of a background for a museum exhibit. You can see a little of the inside here on the "work in progress shots" ink-and-think.deviantart.com/a… ink-and-think.deviantart.com/a…  Its my first architectural model so it was very much a learning curve. I would do many things differently next time. The lighting definitely I would put more thought into next time round.

woah! That's a LOT of books, how many hours did you use on them? O: I used like a weekend on this thing [link]  
I know what you mean about the curve, this is the first model I made [another link]  and the lightning is horrible x) not to mention that the parts had to be forced together at several places since I hadn't been accurate enough when I measured the pieces

I really have no idea. The whole project took months in between doing other things. Yeh accuracy is a sod...i'm more of a do it by eye person. This was the first thing I really took time to measure and there was a few whiskery millimetres I must have been out by that later turned into problems in the brick work. In all honesty its still not really finished but I don't have the time to do more on it.

On my new project I'm trying to be really accurate. But the pieces are still skewed and crooked :I When I'm not trying to be accurate then I don't mind, but when I'm really trying and it's still not right I feel that something somewhere doesn't like me :I 

so about a month on all the books? You sure have patience, even though I love details I would probably think out a way to sneak away from creating 1000 books.

Yeh I'd fake a lot of them next time. In retrospect a lot of them could have been just cardboard as you only see the spines. Planning is key I think!
