A thousand years ago, I went to college. I wanted to be an architect. Part of our finals was to design a home. I did plans, elevations, sections, details….the whole works. I passed. But, when I asked to get a letter to go further in my studies, I was told I’d be better off as a plumber. I’m obviously NOT a plumber (very far from it). And decided to take my career in a different direction.
A while back, I dug out those old plans and decided to create them in 3D. So after 30+ years, people can see what I had in mind. The building is all there. All four sides. I just haven’t finished the landscaping. Trees, plants and flowers take while. In the garage is a 1951 Chevy panel van. Black Cherry and Tan. I want one when I grow up.
Here’s the view as you would have arrived…..

Here’s a project I designed for just myself. Everyone always wants to have a quiet safe place to be. Here are a couple views of mine. Just a note: The tall stained glass windows are real. Obviously, it’s only one real window, but it’s one I begged to use my allowance to buy back in 1970. It cost me $5.00. Now it hangs in my bedroom window. The little round stained glass pieces are of sailing ships. The night version is my favorite. Can you smell the damp?

I’ve finally managed to get this all rendered and put together. After ninety years, he finally gets the adulation he deserves. He’s a wonderful character and hero, and deserves all the recognition. He and my mother taught me everything I know. School taught me nothing. I learned appreciation, beauty, wonder and curiosity. I’ve learned life can be entertaining. And I learned that if I was ever interested in anything, they would run on ahead and help lead me there. Now, I still keep running on ahead, but for them this time. I’m sure this show will still run for a long time. I’ll keep buying season tickets.

It’s taken a while, but here are a few pieces of the Paramount for my Dad’s 90th birthday. That’s my mom and dad’s wedding picture in the first poster. Me and my dad in the second. And one for the Coast Guard because my dad’s an old “Coasty”. It’s taken so long because my poor little computer keeps gaking on the rendering. I’ll just have to talk nice, pat it’s head and beg. Then maybe it’ll let me build the building.

As you can see not much obvious in the way of changes. I created a ladder system to get to the catwalks (with guard lights so you don’t get lost in an emergency in the dark). The catwalks (my attention to detail) have pyramid prisms in the walkway to allow light through and cast iron handrails with copper posts. And, of course, how can a grand space like I envision be without a grand chandelier. Crystal, of course.
We’re now up to 84,995,181 polygons. If I do say so myself, I think it’s a pretty nice start. What do you think?
