Mattercam pictures of the Tower's conversion

[dweezil78]

That's kinda ugly...looks like it's covered with scaffolding. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

It looks like an under construction Beverly Center!

Seeing it in person is pretty cool! The pictures don't do it justice of how intricate all of the piping is. It's also a modern art museum, so the exterior fits that theme very well!

I agree with whoever said there's nothing wrong with Disney adding pipes, it's just that the scale model really looks lame. I knew we wouldn't be getting exactly what the concept art showed, but throwing on some pipes with light bulbs attached and spray painting random parts of the building and then adding what looks like a Morrocan court yard is just weird. I'm still reserving full judgement until it's complete, but so far I'm not that impressed. At least they're covering the scaffolding with a scrim.

I'm holding out hope that Joe won't turn in something he's not proud of. Guy is crazy when it comes to detail, I can't imagine he'll let subpar work get through.

He's the big reason why I'm reserving judgement until it's done. Everything he does is pretty impressive, so I'm hoping that with him attached to this, it will end up looking amazing!

Kind of the same picture as above. I think in this one you can see the scaffolding between the elevators now. I wonder if they will go across the front now.

Scaffolding over the front now. I don't think I could work on scaffolding that high.

Me either! I bet it feels wobbly on that scaffolding stuff.

Scaffolding all the way to top now.

Photobucket is down.

I can't see the image.

You can always go straight to the source HERE.

But here's a quick capture from this morning (complete with a worker walking around at the top level).

Thanks for posting today's picture!
Photobucket has been terrible lately.

The shroud is half way across the building.

They're just trying to hide the ugly for as long as they can...

It's really hazy there. The Mattercam is having a tough time focusing. It's better in the morning. The shroud is across the building and you can see scaffolding on the right side of the building now. Don't know if the back is covered too.

As of yesterday, there was no scaffolding on the back. Also, unless somebody has seen all sides of the model, we don't know what attention to detail (or absence of) they plan for that side.
