Kestrel House, London
Discussion
I recently build a lamp, you can see on the wall here based on the Central College of Commerce in Glasgow. This inspired me to make a larger model of another building and it's in progress at the minute, you can see it on the workbench.
It's Kestrel House, City Road, London. Famously appeared in a photo called Towering Inferno which was then used as the cover of The Street's first album.
I took the photo into Fusion 360 and 3D modelled it ready for printing.

Rather than jumping into the full paint job, I printed a corner of the building to work up as a paint sample. High build primer on.
The building now has white windows...
...but they look black in the photo in the 90s so I'm going with black....
Masked off the windows with some card...
Then added stone grey
Worked well enough...
