Description

A Paris landmark as a display model

The Eiffel Tower in Paris is one of the best-known structures in the world, and this set recreates it at a scale of 1:300. With 3,428 pieces it is one of the larger sets and clearly a display piece rather than a toy. There are no minifigures; the model itself is the point, and its lattice structure is assembled from many small elements. If you enjoy recreating architecture, this is a project that will fill several evenings. The result is a model you can not only look at but also spend a long time building.

Restrained grays and tan

The colour scheme is subdued and suits the real thing: dark bluish gray and light bluish gray make up most of the model, with tan and black added. The muted tones make the iron structure of the tower convincing and give a model that looks elegant on a shelf rather than colourful. With so few colours in play, large numbers of parts share the same shade, which makes the build steady and calm. As a result the tower looks convincing up close and not toy-like.

73 different parts among 3,428

Of the 3,428 pieces, only 73 are different. That explains the character of the set: lots of identical elements are used again and again to build up the delicate structure. The parts list on this page shows how the quantity is split between parts and colours. With a set this big, that is useful for checking a second-hand copy for completeness, or for planning which parts you could take over into projects of your own. That also helps planning if you later want to sort the parts for other projects.

Build it, show it, reuse it

The build demands patience and suits experienced builders best. Afterwards you need room on the shelf, because the tower is a striking display piece. If you want to build something new later, the many identical parts make a good foundation for constructions of your own. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows what else is possible with these parts and the rest of your collection. With enough time and space it becomes a showpiece that impresses even non-builders.
