Bond is going to look very trim and thin when it's done. Here it is from early in the evening:

Just in time for another mediocre movie

I got so sick of assembling window wall in SketchUp that I sometimes wonder how architects can stand their window dressing careers?

That'll fill out the gap from this viewpoint quite nicely.

From what we've seen so far, The Bond really isn't that bad...

It's great that you've woken up and 'gotten sick' of 'assembling window wall' in Sketchup (perhaps you should try 'components' in the program, it might speed your process), but the unfortunate reality is that most developers see these buildings as a necessary means to a profitable end. More on that perhaps later...

From my perspective (eg, Red Mars' first picture in post #203 or UD's first picture in #208, both in this thread), The Bond actually seems to have managed to avoid the unnecessary (and thoroughly gross) spandrel and has proceeded with a primarily transparent visage.
