Eiffel Tower: Laser cut from paper

Eiffel Tower
Approximately 22" tall, laser cut from Cordenons Plike 122# Cover paper
The tower as is constructed of 4 copies each of 4 different pieces cut from a single 18x24 sheet of Plike 122# Bordeaux Cover paper.To create it, Michael found a scanned copy of the original plans and spent several evenings tracing the structure in Adobe Illustrator. The pieces tab together along each edge. So what we have is an accurate reproduction of the real thing that goes together with no tape, glue or fasteners.

The version here is actually a major revision from the original version. While much simpler than this one and easier to assemble, this one is more true to the real tower.
