Something a little different:

Haven't uploaded pics in a while, but here are a few, I guess changes done in the past month or so are a new 45 Bay St. reflecting the revisions and 1-7 Yonge. *the first photo is an older one, shows the older 45 Bay model:

Amazing job!

Steve, your model looks great. Any chance that you can post some close up shots of the One and how it interacts with my building the Uptown? I would greatly appreciate it if you could.

The model itself isn’t actually that big, and I take it you’d like to visualize your future views from Uptown, in which case it’s a bit tricky to photograph without turning into one big blur even with the smallest camera I’ve got.
I’ll post these for now, which show a little bit of uptown next to the giants from an aerial perspective, but user insertnamehere can hook you up with your future views I’m sure @ his future Toronto model.

Thank you Steve, that is great. Love your models.

Hey Steve,are there any time lapse videos of you making these model skyscrapers? Would love to see some.

Simply amazing work Steve, you are truly gifted, and we're all so lucky to have you on our site, thanks for all the effort, it's always appreciated!

Not really. Although if you want to 'fast scroll' through my flickr photo stream, you'd probably get sort of a time-lapse effect. https://www.flickr.com/photos/92482555@N02/?

Some wide-shots showing the impact 385 Yonge will have on the skyline. The 'skybridge' really has an interesting effect, a huge effect actually. (Also added some minor additions including 19 Duncan, and others):

Thanks for all the kind words everyone

Great work, as always!

385 Yonge makes an even bigger difference to the skyline than I had expected. It really contributes to a third peak of skyscrapers in the north-south axis downtown, where Aura simply looks isolated presently.

Here is a revised massing model of 'The One'. I actually prefer the revised footprint of the tower as its slenderness will make it stand out even more on the skyline in a less obtrusive way. Let this be our Nordstrom Tower or 432 Park.
And if X beams are added down the road, being square and having perfectly symmetrical sides all around; visually should work in its favour.

I also much prefer the new massing model of The One, it accentuates the height much more.
