cmdp1989 Sorry, I'm not too good with english, I might understood word "commissions" wrong. Are you talking about donations? I thought you were asking if I do models for request, lol. Which is the correct one?)

Other awesome New york buildings that havent been modeled yet: The MET, the American museum of Natural History, the old Penn station, and countless others. I would love it if any one of these that I gave you was modeled. Keep up the amazing work!

Seventh: The Waldorf Astoria, this amazing building is where all the executives who come to midtown from around the world stay: https://qtxasset.com/styles/breakpoint_xl_880px_w/s3/luxurytraveladvisor/1535381452/waldorf-astoria-ny.jpg/waldorf-astoria-ny.jpg?_k35jsLMNpWharlnOvsYoO9tpX5W2Ue2&itok=Zx6k4SxN

Last is the most interesting- also the most difficult to make - as it is a modern building built on top of an old post office that was made along with grand central station. However, the design beautifully incorporates old style with modern elements. Personally, I could not find any existing 3d models of this one

What is interesting about it is that its base is the only surviving aspect of the "Grand Central City" other than the terminal itself: here is a postcard of what I am talking about:

Fourth is the Manhattan Municipal building- It is the first thing you see crossing the brooklyn bridge, with an amazing profile and unique shape and crown.

Fifth is the 570 Lexington or GE building- amazing color and one of the most intricate crowns of any building ever

I have some suggestions since you're really good at this- if you're up for them- First on my list would be the metropolitan life insurance company tower and including the north building (there is a walkway over the cross street in between them) The north tower also was supposed ot be taller than the Empire state building, but the great depression happened

Second would be the new york life insurance building - it's a gold-crowned architectural marvel

Third is 230 Park- aka Helmsley Building- amazing, amazing building. The grand central viaduct runs right through it! It would be really awesome if someone could make a building that cars can actually drive through in the game!
