Hi everyone, I want to present on this forum my paper model one of buildings in Dallas - Energy Plaza. Hope you like my hobby.
Inside of plexiglas box
Also I made downtown of Midland, TX and Oklahoma City, OK.
Now I'm working on Tulsa, OK
Amazing work!
Thats really cool, thanks.
Awesome.
DAGNABBIT!
That is really cool! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Dallas uber alles
I would pay to have a model like those^ of Fair Park and/or of Fair Park during the Centennial celebration based on the pics of of the buildings that no longer exist.
Impressive! Thanks for sharing! Have you done any other Dallas buildings?
That's amazing that you made those! I've always wanted to do stuff like that, but I have no patience, so props!
Beatiful work!
Thanks for the comments! I'm glad.
Prices for my work you can see on my own site www.usapapercity.com I think Fair Park is too hard for me yet.Originally Posted by cowboyeagle05
No, I haven't. But model of Dallas likely my next after Tulsa.
First off, great work! Very impressive. But I have to ask...you live in Russia, so how did you pick Midland and Tulsa to build models of. Or Dallas even.
I love architecture of american cities - mix the art-deco with modern (post-modern) nowhere find. It's very fascinating.
Well, finally downtown of Tulsa is finished. Photos you can find on my Flickr page (see signature below). And I decided to make next two cities - Shreveport, LA and ..... Dallas, TX! Diagrams of first buildings I will post soon. I can to say it will be my biggest project among of scale models of US cities. I will create new thread here.
Whoa that is really amazing, good work! Can't wait to see the finished Dallas
Amazing! Could you give me a quote for the ALICO building in Waco? I would love to buy a model from you!
This is really amazing stuff, Sam. Thank you.
Have you ever been to the US or Dallas? Where in Russia do you live?
I can to make the drawing of Alico Building and you will build it yourself - it is free. Or I will build and will send to you via FedEx (UPS, TNT, DHL, Russian Post Service - it does not matter). It needs for payment, I mean post service (I think about not less 100-200 USD).
Yes, I have been in the United States (Oklahoma City and Tulsa) in first time in my life in last november. I have seen Dallas only from an airplane (flight Saint-Petersburg--Frankfurt-am-Mein--Dallas--Oklahoma City). It was my first visit out of borders of my country. And it was absolutely amazingly - good people, clean roads and cars, service. ...Best days in my life.
I live near of Saint-Petersburg.
Those are amazing. I am jealous of your talent.
RAIN! To....much.....rain.....

Russian Sam ROCKS
Wow! That's nearly incredible, and quite impressive! I'm very eager to see the final results.
How long will the process take? What of buildings that currently exist and may soon be torn down or modified? Similarly, what of the new construction planned during the "paper construction"? Put another way: will your project represent a "freeze frame" of how Dallas looked on a particular day, or will it "evolve" as the city does?
Thank you, guys.
Scale of the model is 1:2000 (1 cm=20 m)(1 in=147 ft). If correctly...
It will be looks like on this image:
Scale models: Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Midland by Russian Sam, on Flickr
The process may take one year. This is a very difficult project, in compare with my previous.
First models from your city:
Bryan Tower, height of the model is 78 mm.
211 North Ervay Street, height of the model is 31 mm.
This is so awesome.
Russian Sam, tell us more about you. Where do you live? Do you build models for your job? Or is this just a hobby?
Thank you, Rangers.
My real name is Ilia. I'm 26 years old. I live near Saint-Petersburg (2nd biggest city in Russia, not in state of FloridaI have been in Oklahoma City and Tulsa in last year and I saw Dallas from the airplane only. I'm working in architectural company which produces scale models for other companies and firms.
^ You do great work. It's hard to believe you can get that many details perfect even though you haven't spent time in Dallas. We were in St Petersburg in September and enjoyed exploring that city (and admiring the architecture).
^^wow, we should been to arrange the meeting.
I cannot to send private message to you DFWCRE8TIVE (500 Internal server error). I will try tomorrow.
Very cool.Thank you, Rangers.

I haven't visited Russia yet, but I plan to make it to St. Petersburg someday. I love Russian novels, having read Turgenev, Gogol, Chekov, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Tolstoy, and several others. St. Petersburg always sounds like a place I'd prefer over Moscow.
How do you get such a high level of accuracy in detail without ever having visited these cities?
Thousands of photos (on my computer about 25000 photos of US cities), Google Earth and...without false modesty - talent. Thanks, God
new favorite forum member? check. ilia, you are awesome
That's really beautiful work. Knowing that you've only done it from pictures makes it even more impressive. Hopefully you can make it to Dallas someday. Your attention to detail has highlighted areas of the buildings that I didn't even notice... and I live here!Thousands of photos (on my computer about 25000 photos of US cities), Google Earth and...without false modesty - talent.

Oh, thank you for the warm comments
How small my models:
By the way, at the same time with Dallas I'm building downtown Shreveport, LA. Thread here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1469692
those are amazing...yet you said you've never actually been outside Dallas' airport?
Thank you,
Yes, never have been, unfortunately. BTW, I liked DFW Airport, much better (comfortable, especially local train between terminals) than Frankfurt-am-Mein Intl. Airport.
Frankfurt reminds me of Dallas, what do you think?
keep up the good work sam!
To the Victor go the spoils!
hey guys check this site out

To the Victor go the spoils!
Maybe, I have seen Frankfurt only from the air, at night. It was wonderful view!
Nice models. I liked. But prices...$55-250
Next model:
United Fidelity Building, height of the model is 34 mm.
WOOOW that's great!
It's cool that you did Midland, you should try the neighboring city, Odessa. There's only a couple of tall buildings so it should be very quick

Thank you, Rowlett-baby! Yes, I thought about this city when I began to make Midland. Maybe I will return to this idea in the future.
Patriot Tower, height of the model is 68 mm.
You are very talented!
Great job! Love watching your collection come together!
Hey Ilia, if you're doing everything in the white square, you will be a while. Are all your models made of paper, like a cardboard? You must go through a lot of x-acto knives to get the small stuff so precise!Hello everyone!

--with this next paragraph, I got the help of Google Translate, hope it's readable!--
Еще одно предложение, если вы еще не думали об этом раньше .... Если вы когда-нибудь видели любого эпизода «Даллас» ТВ-шоу, они показали много крупных планов и под разными углами некоторых зданий в центре города в течение большей части выполнения ряда.
How did I do, Ilia?
This was what I translated: Another suggestion, if you haven't thought about it before.... if you've ever watched any episodes of "Dallas" the TV show, they showed many close-ups and different angles of some of the downtown buildings during most of the series' run.
Amazing job with everything Ilia!!
Thank you for the comments!
jrd1964, look at the picture. Kinds of paper which I use. Left to the right: thick paper, office paper, cardboard.
Where I can find some views from "Dallas" about that you told? You mean an old TV show 1978-1991?
Yes, the old TV show. I wasn't sure if you've seen the show before and if it would be an additional help to you beyond the pix you have in your database already.Thank you for the comments!

Nice, let me know where?
Great job, Ilia! I notice you just did the main part of downtown Shreveport, but not any of the casinos along the river. Will be good to see what you will do for Dallas.
