Eiffel Tower
microscale model of the Paris landmark
About this creation
This is the second version of this model. The original model used flex tubes at the corners to outline the outside of the tapering shape and define the upper portion of the tower. Overall the model was innovative, yet the proportions were never quite right. The upper part was too straight and slender. The base and legs still relied on a lot of studs up building with clumsy arches and support pieces and they lacked a certain amount of structural substance.

Shortly after finishing the first model, I began to wonder if I could I could build the entire model out of flex tubes. At the time I was busy with other things, so it was only after a couple of years that I ended up getting around to redesigning it. The result is this version.

The model is approximately 1/650 scale, similar to the scale of my other microscale landmarks.

Awesome! Did you know that it leans from the sun because the heat makes the metal expand? But, back to the tower, 10 Stars out of 5 Stars!

I remember when I went their... It's actually a lot bigger than in pictures to the extent where this is misleading.

This one is even better than the one put out by Lego Corporation. Your clean curved lines are WAY better than the step function slopes of the official set recently released. KUDOS 5/5 for you my friend. 5 out of 5

Amazing! we see so many bastard versions of the eiffel tower...and as a french guy living in paris i know what i m talkin about...Great reproduction for such a small scale.Only the "neck" of the eiffel tower seems to get a little thiner by the top, which i guess was impossible or too complicated with lego...

Well, I love it! Such a perfect microscale model--they're usually so bad. But this is such a beauty. Great Work. -Josh
