  3. Its becoming harder each month to keep this site floating on the web. As Adsense money is now four months apart, I'm covering the rest of the monthly bills.
    There's been a handful of donations which help a little but more regular donations are needed if this site is to stay alive.
    I know it's tough for everyone but if you can spare a little it would be awesome.
    P.S. Once again a big huge thanks to the last donations!

    Hi everybody,

    I'm back with a new building, again one time in this month ... :D

    I chose you share the Smurfit-Stone Building, or more recently the Crain Communications Building, an iconic skyscraper in Chicago.

    The building was built in 1984. It was designed by Sheldon Schlegman.
    Somebody call it the Diamond, or even more ironically the "Vagina".
    It appears many times in movies. It's 177 meters high and has 41 floors.

    Nice mod. This is personally one of my favorite Chicago buildings. The only critique I have would be involving the nightlight rendering. The actually building lights up in a very interesting way with the sides of the diamond top illuminated. Your building doesn't represent this, but overall the mod is pretty well done.

    It looks very similar to the real life version! It has good textures, and the lighting looks to be pretty good. It is all around good.

    Very nice! Would have wished for some slightly brighter nightlights, though.
    I also like the shape of the building :)
