This was the first model I built with my No. 10 outfit. It was built in a hurry as I had a deadline to get it finished by Christmas 2022. We were going away for Christmas for a change, so the Christmas tree would be at the cottage we were staying in. So how to decorate the house before we went? Answer: a red and green Eiffel Tower in the corner of our living room, covered in tinsel and baubles. Apologies for the quality of the photos: time was pressing!
Build notes
Getting the geometry of the cross-bracing right was a bit tricky, but I got there in the end. The lower lift (elevator) didn’t work properly as the original design wasn’t good enough (imho). So I tweaked it a bit to reduce friction, and it worked reasonably well then. If I’d had more time I’d have tweaked it a bit more, but Christmas was pressing! This was a pretty good model to build, and at over 7 ft high looked impressive in the corner of the room.
