One thing - maybe it's my eyes playing tricks on me - but the arc of the center section seems to be a little more shallow than the real thing? The real one seems more pronounced - similar width at the base but stands taller, making for a taller more regal looking appearance. Is it just my eyes?
I believe the way the photo was taken of the real station along with the foreground landscape could give the illusion that the station is even taller proportionally. If you added a fountain and scenery that would give a more exact look vs the real deal. Also the addition of the clock would also make the station seem more pronounced.
On the model of the Grand Central Terminal sold by Lionel, many people added a base to the station giving the illusion of more height and adding to the impressiveness of the station. In my opinion this would really add impressiveness to the station as well.
Fantastic job on the station!
