Well....in this case, all that glitters is not "real" gold! The latest skyscraper downtown is this new gold reflective glass building. It is completely scratch built from a variety of craft and hobby material. The frame of the building is foamcore with the "skin" made from metalized plastic and tapes. It stands approximately 6 feet tall and is quite noticeable when the sunlight is falling upon it...! I hope you enjoy the pictures and as always thanks for looking and commenting...
Thanks,
Alan

Nice!
Is it foil tape (like the type used for ducts) with Kapton tape or sheets over that?
Whatever it is, it looks good!

Thanks guys!!
Dave....the "glass" is made from a couple of rolls of metalized / plastic ....the kind you might find in a decorator or wall paper section of a store. It has a brushed finish. The floors are gold metal tape I found at Staples and the vertical window mullions are chrome metal tape from a local Walmart craft section.

Very nice job Alan.
Very Cool!
