People dream to replicate iconic Eiffel Tower, and many have made it worldwide. I am one among them who handcrafted this structure with Bamboo sticks in 1994 for first time. Now again in 2013 re-created it with finest details. This miniature is 3 foot 6 inches height.
This structure of Paris was completed in 1889. At the time of building it was the tallest in the world. Work started in January 1887 with 300 on-site employees took 2yr 2months to complete. This iconic tower having 18,038 pieces joined by two and a half million rivets. It weights 7,300 tonnes, while the entire structure including non-metal weight 10,00 tonnes approxmately. Height of the tower varies 15cm due to temparature.
As one of the most iconic images in the world, the Eiffel Tower has been the inspiration for the creation of over 30 duplicates and similar towers around the world. The Eiffel Tower is the inspiration for many other towers built worldwide. Over 10 replicas build in USA compared to other countries. .
