Eiffel Tower; Schreiber Bogen; 1/300

[tino]

Thank you for the ideia, but I will nor reinforce de model. Thecorners seems quite strong for its weight.
About the glass case, I will soon have an entire showcase not only for the tower but for all of my models.

 

[tino]

I managed to build the elevator of the third floor and started cutting the last pages of the model. Little more than two A3 sheets. Some work isn´t in the pictures but it is already done.

Maybe some coats of a flat clear coat on the outside, and inside, to keep out moisture. She'll twist and fall down as she absorbs moisture. It is such a beautiful piece, truly magnificent!

 

[tino]

That´s true Zathros but I will not do that. Im gonna take the risk...

 

[Rogerio Silva]

What about...

E o triângulos e quadrados menores? = What about the smaller triangles and squares? Naaah, I'm just kidding...:mrgreen:
Superb work, man, you're doing a wonderful, artistic job.:thumb::thumb:
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Rogério

 

[tino]

Olá Rogério, obrigado pelo comentário! = Thank you for your comment!

In this last floor I will take more risks cutting the smaller triangles!

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Please, don't!

Olá Rogério, obrigado pelo comentário! = Thank you for your comment!

In this last floor I will take more risks cutting the smaller triangles!

Tino

Please do not feel challenged to do something that could ruin a beautiful work! Do it ONLY if you're absolutely sure you can do it, Tino.
Me, I think it's great the way you've done so far.:thumb::thumb:
All the best,

Rogério

 

[tino]

No problem Rogério!

The third floor its getting done!

Is was not an easy task to close the third floor but I think that it ended well.

 

[Rogerio Silva]

No that's what I call a job well done, man! Great!

 

[tino]

Thank you Rogério! I am happy for your interest!

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Your time will come...

Thank you Rogério! I am happy for your interest!

Tino

In Portugal I have only been to Lisbon, Fátima and a small town called Entroncamento, but the next time I get to Europe, I'll make sure to include Portugal and Ponte de Lima in my destinations, because you'll have to allow me to see your work live!:thumb::thumb:sign1
That's looking great, man! Parabéns! = Congratulations!

 

[tino]

Rogério - If you come to Ponte de Lima, yes we can talk about come here seeing my models. If it was now I would tell you that it wasnt possible but in the near future I think it will be possible.

I start to build the top of the tower. It does not have many pieces but have a lot of small triagles to cut out.

 

[zathros]

This model is amazing! You are doing a fantastic job on it.

 

[Rogerio Silva]

I'm impressed!

Tino

That's so very nice! Parabéns = Congratulations! Keep up the fabulous work!

 

[tino]

Zathros - Yes, the model is very good. That helps me doing a good job!

Rogério - Thank you very much!! I will try to keep it good!

Some more pieces for the top of the Tower.

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Oh, man, that sure brings back memories... What an experience! I went on the top section way back, in 1990... Yes, I'm that old...

 

[micahrogers]

I thuink we're about the same age there Rogerio

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Sea is... the sea!

I thuink we're about the same age there Rogerio

From one old sailor to another: the sea still rumbles in my ears, and runs in my veins! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

[tino]

For today, I show the final steps to glue the third floor to the second floor, before glue the top of the tower.

 

[Rogerio Silva]

Tino, that's really something, man. Your attention to the details and "smoothness" in building it makes it absolutely magnificent.
I hope I can see it live someday... At least I'll be able to declare how much I admire that work in our plain, good Portuguese! HOHOHOHOHOH...
