| | These posters are both 38 ¾" (98cm) in height. This makes them look like an evenly sized set, but the illustration of each building is done at a different scale to achieve this. The illustrations on these posters are not to scale with each other as the rest of the SkyscraperPage.com diagrams are. This may sound like an odd thing to do, but we feel the effect of having the posters appear the same height is more important in this case. |
