I have been trying to track down the model and maker of that thing to get some dimensions to no avail. It would be of great help, especially to estimate interior dimensions more accurately. I've built almost everything on the assumption that the glass blocks are 6''x 6'', that was the only size that made sense if you assume that "Crockett and Tubbs" are 178cm or 5'10'' if I'm not mistaken. Another thing I've been trying really hard to find is dimensions of those old Fedders air conditioners, which you can spot installed in three windows. I even tried to contact a guy on YouTube that repairs those vintage AC's, but never heard back. So, if anyone has insight of some prop dimension that could be useful to me please share it, thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One episode that comes to mind where he does this is "Out Where The Buses Don't Run", perhaps you can estimate it from there.

Dadrian Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Is the couch always brown? I seem to remember it black sometimes. I could be wrong. Maybe it just looks black in the lights-out scenes. Edited July 12, 2017 by Dadrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely changed it's color from brown to black, which made me think that it was two different couches and they were mass produced. I've also seen someone else try to id them without any luck unfortunately. Edited July 12, 2017 by SimplyMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicegirl85 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I found one that *to me* looks similar to the black one on Amazon: Of course I think the Vice couch is a bit more battered...

Firstly this project is still alive and I keep coming back to it from time to time. I studied the set meticulously watching the new blu-ray release and found out that it went through a big overhaul between season 2 and 3, so I had to take a few steps back and some choices still need to be made, but I'll get back to it when I'm ready. I'm not an architect, just a fan of the era, place and style) Funny you mention the Terminator PD, because that's exactly what I thought of myself Let me dig up some old shots of the HQ and also show you what I'm focused on In the meantime, which is the Terminal Island. Wow this is great! You're a good modeller. What software are you using to model all of this? I'd love to stick the OCB into Unreal Engine 4 and make a first person/VR experience out of it.

Voodoo Vice Dealer Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Guys, I don't know how about you, but this is just awesome!!! You could also check the Third Season episode ''Stone's War'', I guess there's some type of Commodore 64 being used by Tubbs and other furniture as well. Also, you can get some clues about the exterior of the OCB when Crockett sees his 'Testosterone' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all are too kind) All of this in fact IS made in UE4, using just the basic built in geometry tool which is an absolute pain to use! Real models, textures etc. will come later. 16 hours ago, Voodoo Vice Dealer said: Also, you can get some clues about the exterior of the OCB when Crockett sees his 'Testosterone' I'm actually planning to put my own spin on the exterior) BTW, the whole layout is very unusual, and sometimes doesn't even make much sense. It's quite a challenge to create a good looking building that this office could be a part of. 10 hours ago, airtommy said: S3 The Savage 9 hours ago, mvnyc said: Great shot of Castillo's office and, of course, his couch. I guess I kind of sidetracked this thread, sorry SimplyMark. Yes! Nice shot indeed, I also made one once everyone left. And I'll post another good shot from "El Viejo". My collection must have about a couple hundred shots in total at this point, but it will grow. It's all good! Glad this got so many people excited) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learnt a fair bit with materials, neon lighting, and a radio which actually has sound coming out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a fair bit of attempts to remake Vice City throughout the years) Too bad they never see the light of day. I believe that creating an original IP will have a higher chance of success. That's exactly what I've been working on my own for some time now. And hopefully I can start spreading the word by the end of this year to get some hands on deck.
