CONTEST - EPIII Location WIP: senate building / office - exitus

So welcome everyone to my first topic
I know it's a little late to take part in this competition but I think it'll worth it...
I made those two models three times until I got what I wanted.
The problem was I needed some hires reference material but there was nothing to find till last month
and after 4 weeks of intensive modelling I had those two buildings.
So please tell me what you think about them!

I got it from vfxworld.com

 

Very Very good work, you better get modeling, not much time left!

 

What do you mean?

 

Not much time left for the competition

 

Oh, a funny one..

I don't want to model the rest for the competition. Those hundreds of buildings? You're making jokes don't you?

 

Just keep modeling the ones you are doing, they are great

 

It's either the camera or the proportions are way off.

 

I think it's the camera...
(well I hope so, I spend a long time adjusting and comparing models and images)

Maybe I'll model the environment but, you know, I'm not ILM and my System is too slow

I found an image from one of my recent tries (I started with the buildings around the office)
I's the building in the foregrund.[image=http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4269/senatenew137hu.jpg]


If you look at the big reference image (by yusei uesugi)for a long time you'll see that most of the buildings are used two or more times.
