very cool indeed.
I've been following his downtown OKC project on OKCTalk and it is very cool indeed!
Hello guys, I'm Russian Sam (real name Elijah) and after DT OKC scale model I decided to make your great city - TULSA!
Thank you dmoor for started this thread!
All my model created in scale 1:2000.
Sometimes I'll be posted picture with your most famous buildings, like this:
110 West 7th Building & Park Centre

Can't wait to see it!
You're very talented Elijah! Can't wait to see your Tulsa work.
Pardon my math skills,,, but how tall would say that tallest Tulsa building be? And, if we gave you enough photos, could you do some of the buildings that no longer exist? Specifically, I would love to have a model of downtown as it looked during its early oil boom years when it had all its Art Deco buildings. Would like to have something like that for the DECOPOLIS Tulsa Art Deco Museum. Plus, would you sell the buildings, and for how much?

Great idea, Artist I love the way you think!
What direction is that view of downtown from, the east looking west? Hard for me to get proper orientation with all the surface parking missing and all those landmark buildings still in their rightful place 8)

Yes, east looking west (I used the old Central H.S. as reference).
Any idea what the field in the foreground was with the track encircling it or what the white three story building was all the way to the left foreground?
Thanks for the comments guys! I'm glad that you liked my models! ::)

Since I do parallel 2 cities (plus a Midland, Texas) creation of Tulsa will take at least six months, unfortunately. All my models can be found on our web site www.skycrapercity.com (scale models)
I don't make a separate building, the whole city only. Yes, I had the idea to create a city of 30s, but the city in present time of greater interest to the majority of Internet users and for me personally.
Now about the price. Since the model will exist in a single copy (for example, OKC only now), they are priceless! Creating such a model - is a huge labor and many time. Oklahoma City, for example I did for 5,5 months, but I can sell the model or make a second copy just for big money ($ 1 million!). kidding!
Sorry, my English is very bad, so I don't understand what you want to say about the museum in Tulsa?

It looks like a field with the track encircling it and the other appears to be a white three story building. ;)

Midland? I don't remember there being anything there worth modeling. Maybe I'm just doing my best to block out those memories.
What Artist is talking about with the museum is he is workign to start a deco museum here in Tulsa, and is interested in a model of Tulsa circa 1920's-1940's.

That's alot of work, The detail would be hard to do, what materal does he use to make the buildings? I thought the City Plex Towers were the 2nd tallest buildings in Tulsa and the First Place building is in the #3 spot. :-X

In DT tulsa, the First Place is second. It's not like you can look at the DT skyline vs the 'Oral Roberts Skyline' and make the comparison.
I don't count Cityplex anyway since it isn't DT. I wonder how much Oral paid the council to get THAT zoning variance...

When you're looking at the business end of Enormous Jesus, you grant variances. It's simple business Hoss.

I was going to make a reference about what I said to Oral when he said "I need x millions dollars or I'm going to Jesus". I just didn't feel it was appropriate.

Not being IN Tulsa he wouldn't realize that Cityplex isn't downtown.

Yeah, you right and I fully agree with you. City Plex is located 8 miles from the center of downtown in a straight line. I think downtown limited 274, 51 412, 75 & 64 numbered roads and highways.
All my models made from paper.
Bank Of Oklahoma Tower. Model's height 101,5 mm. No doubt, tallest building in Tulsa and State of Oklahoma.

Sam asked me what scale I would like the 30s Tulsa to be. Just tried to do the math and this poor artist can't figure it out lol. Would like some sort of standard scale so that I could fairly easily find figures, lamp posts, trees, etc, for the model. But at first blush would like the Mayo (which is 77 meters tall) to be say around 7-10 inches tall. What standard American model scale (HO or otherwise,,,then converted to millimeters for Sam lol) would result in the Mayo being closest to the height I am wanting?
Sam...........great work, this is awesome. But tell me, how do you get the facade, like the windows to be so uniform ? Are you using a special program that prints the windows/facade to paper ?

Looks like T scale at 1:450. I found it on wikipedia so I don't know availability of scenery stuff.
77m x 39.37 in/m = 3031 in
3031/450 = 6.74 in
The next train scale would be Z at 1:220

Very cool. I'd wondered how you were progressing. :)
Did you enjoy your trip to Oklahoma?
Thanks.
Yes, I totally enjoyed from this trip, without of jokes :) I have been on the top floors of Bank Of America Center and First Place Tower. It were unforgettable views around Tulsa. I'm impressed so far! Your city is very beautiful in the autumn, and windy :)
Very neat. I like taking renderings of Tulsa buildings like the Philtower and putting them next to supertalls like the Burj Dubai and Mecca Abraj Al-Bait. Its a great way of having something you are familiar with to help you visualize the massive scale of those supertalls.
Sorry for waiting, I'm very busy by model of Tulsa, I mean drawings.

I really wish you could make it to Tulsa in May. Mayfest has a new gallery to showcase paper art and your work could be the perfect exhibit.
I also would to show Tulsa model, but it is not ready yet. I think I'll make the model to August 2011, not earlier. Sorry for english.

Amazing. All the buildings look great.
If, for whatever reason, you feel the need to add final touches I would suggest the clock on the MidCon tower and the ATLAS LIFE sign on the Atlas life Building - both are hallmarks for Boston Ave. in Tulsa along with the old school entrances.
Then again, as a non-model maker the process is totally unknown to me (hey, what the heck is your process?).
Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to it. Any plans to actually "display" it somewhere?
Thank you for appreciating. Add the clocks and any other sign is impossibly because all model has very small size 1 cm.=20 m. (1 in.=165 ft.)
Current progress. Ready about 40 % of all buildings.

Cities Service went thru multiple changes, moved to Warren Place, then to Houston. Various accounts say the building was planned for 70 stories but I think the truth is 52 stories. It then changed to 35 then OneOK bought it mid-project and capped it at 17.
Anyone know how close Devon Tower is to topping out. I was noticing it as i was leaving OKC this morning and it's most certainly the most prominent building in the downtown skyline now.
I believe it's around 700 feet right now, so about 150 fert to go right now. It is an amazing building.
Fert=feet
Had my keyboard on Spanish by accident.

The one on the right now has "Joyce Law Firm" on the outside of it (google earth). I recognize it from when Mays Drug/Drug Warehouse had the area down stairs where the sidewalk level skylight is.
Joyce Law Firm? As in the Joyce who represented The Rev. Robert Tilton?

Wow that is looking amazing. I think the 320 S. Boston Building is my favorite. I have always imagined what it would be like to have some of those very top floors to be my home. Have it all gothic inside like Bruce Waynes pad 8) and have a bat signal shoot out from the top lol.
You have been churning out a lot of buildings lately. Good work.
The very lower left block you have marked with two long diagonal buildings inside that block -- don't bother with it. Used to be the BOK autobank across from the BOK Center; it's been razed and is now all parking lot.
Thanks.
This is a last buildings, which I will build in near future (also Main Park Plaza Parking, OneOK Parking and other three parkings.)
1. Ramada Inn Downtown Tulsa and Petroleum Club Tower
2. H. Dale Cook Federal Building
3. Holarud Building and Reunion Center
4. First Baptist Church
5. Public Service Company Building
6. Trinity Episcopal Church
