Looking for Famous Buildings

Quixotry

Does anyone happen to know of a nice 3D version of Big Ben or the Empire State Building? TurboSquid has some lovely ones, but they may be out of my price range for the project that I am working on.

I wouldn't recommend it, that one is very very low poly, only for distant background use

Vanishing point has a few famous buildings, including Big Ben: https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/big-ben---for-daz-studio-/123201/

...there was a freebie on ShareCG (on which you could even set the hands) but I believe it has been taken down as I could not find it. 

Here's one free one at CG Trader which comes in .obj format

Niggle, but Big Ben is the bell at the top not the tower itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben

Richard is right. The official name is 'The Elizabeth Tower'. However, I would be surprised if many people could identify what you were talking about if you only called it by that name without mentioning Big Ben. Regards, Richard.

Is Banksy's attacking rat still at the base of the wall across the Thames from the Big Ben & Parliament?

Thank you for all the excellent suggestions, everyone! I found the Elizabeth Tower and the Empire State Building both in a nice set of famous buildings on CGTrader, thanks to all your clues. The tower included in Stonemason's set would work fine for my purposes, as I intend to use it to set up a reference scene to sketch out later. I already own that set, so will just see which one I like best as I put the scene together.

And thank you for the info about Big Ben being the clock as opposed to the Elizabeth Tower being the structure itself. I did not know that! :)
