It looks as though it will dominate the layout, just as well you built it in part relief.<br />A comment on the 'concrete effect', the real structures were built using slip forming and/or ply/steel formwork. The resulting finish was quite smooth. The effect you have applied gives a result similar to shotcrete, used in rockwork and not typical of an 'off-form' finish, such as would be expected on the elevator tower. Hopefully a matt paint finish will tone down the roughness.<br />Well done mate.<br /><br />Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107268262089444743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844003442223269875.post-7913486851133484112016-05-09T13:21:36.786+10:002016-05-09T13:21:36.786+10:00Maybe you need 1 for WILLOW TREEMaybe you need 1 for WILLOW TREEBOLIVIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254781330698351532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844003442223269875.post-65929983811384414812016-05-09T08:04:03.292+10:002016-05-09T08:04:03.292+10:00Rohan, now that's an impressive structure!!!Rohan, now that's an impressive structure!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
