Well the prototype i used for one of mine was the FreeMarkets Tower here in Pittsburgh. It is i believe 41 stories (not the tallest in the city by far the USX tower is 74) but its definately the Minimalist style that i like). The buildings color is a clad burgandy glass and steel. What makes it so interesting is if you coming into town on I-579 and the sun hits the building just right it almost looks like its on fire. To make mine i used Clear Plexiglass as the backing and and then went to a buddy of mines auto detail shop and got that Mirrored auto window tint. I used the window tint on the inside of the plexiglass (the side not facing the world). Then i prepainted Plastruct structural shapes and then cut and glued them on the outside of the plexiglass. DONE....see they are actually very easy to build....and 99% of the building is the plastruct parts and is what takes the most time to do. But if you want the mirrored glass and to do lighting....CLEAR plexiglass and Auto tint is the way to go... BUT.....FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS on doing the tint...beacouse if you dont you will get those stupid looking bubbles...and your building will look as cheesy as peoples cars do that havnt followd the directions and tinted their car windows that way LOL
