**[Faithful Reproduction of the Iron Lattice]**The Eiffel Tower, construction of which began in 1887, was completed in March 1889 as a centerpiece for the Paris Exposition. The construction period was a mere 2 years and 2 months. In an era when stone was the primary building material, the Eiffel Company, led by Gustave Eiffel, was also renowned for its bridge construction. The semi-circular arches rising from the ground and the beautiful arc of the exterior shape reaching towards the summit presented a challenge that any model designer would aspire to undertake once in their lifetime (design period: 1 year).
**[Model Overview]**This model faithfully reproduces the beautiful form of the Belle Époque era using precise photo-etching. It is assembled like a three-dimensional puzzle, without the need for glue. As the thin 0.3mm parts are combined, the sense of increasing strength is akin to actually constructing a building. The spiral staircase and elevators are also noteworthy features. At the summit, gentlemen and ladies approximately 4mm in height are reproduced. The base is made of weighty white metal. During the model design phase, the designer conducted on-site research in Paris with prototypes. The interior of the tower was also observed and reproduced.
