is there any o scale skyscraper kits available because for my layout i want to build a large chunk of Phoenix Arizona because that is where the APWR is headquartered

the only thing is i can only find HO kits

i specificly want to model Chase Tower - the tallest building in Phoenix



i also don't know where to go for a custom command tower with the APWR logo for my main freight yard

any suggestions

Alan Arnold (leaving tracks) and others have done several articles on his techniques for building skyscrapers from plexiglas where he makes a box and then uses tapes and other materials on the outside to simulate window mullions, concrete panels, etc.    They look great when done.  I suggest you do a search on this forum for "skyscrapers".

I will also be doing some Phoenix mid rises for my downtown area using the same technique.  I've already shot some photos along Central Avenue as prototypes so I can get the details incorporated.  So good luck with your Chase Tower but remember that unless you plan to do a scaled down version, its 480 feet in height would mean a height of 10 feet in O scale!
