Wk3 model redevelopment With texture

I have entirely remake the interior of my model.

Now, I have got 3 stairs, 

1st one connects from above to between (floating stair)

2nd one connects form between to bottom, it also include a drive way for the bike

3rd one connects from between to bottom, which it is purpose for guests to witness the incredible scene of Shinya testing his bike in the testing circle.

As I have mentioned, the spiral stair is specially design to have platform facing the testing circle. This vision effect is dramatically increased by the skewed position of he stair, which provide a "floating on top of the circle" feeling for guest, in order the experience the thrill of Shinya's new designs.

The Sushi Bar is intentionally have a 600mm platform, it creates an atmospheric experience for those who is going to have the privilege taste Jiro's and his son's sushi.

Finally the bike testing circle had an extra add-on feature, which is the enter lane. It is positioned right in-front of the "bike stair" therefore, Shinya can not only test the bike by driving it on below ground, but also he can show off his skills by sliding down from ground floor, and enter the circle in one complete motion.
