look up Cadco Architects in Abilene Texas. Steve Ellinger is the principal and they build pretty good models...a few were on display at a school show last year and I saw them...he might have someone he could send if you payed him enough...Abilene is like 2 hours from Dallas

4'x6' @ 1"=20' The model itself will need to be made out of some kind of colored plastic as the curtain wall system is comprised of 3 different colors in a random pattern. Interior lighting will also need to addressed. The building is a 300,000sf childrens hospital, and stands about 12 stories tall.

Thanks Rizdog, we use Mark Gawor all the time, but he is booked up till October. Haha...your right about his product. We've also used Michael Potts in the past, but we do all our own killer renderings in house now. Do you work for a firm in Dallas?
